On -Site Determination for Applicability to the Neuse River Riparian Area Protection Rules (15A NCAC 2B
.0233)
Dear Mr. Bond:
On November 14, 2013, at your request Anthony Scarbraugh conducted an on -site determination to
review unnamed tributary (UT) to Fork Swamp located on the subject property for applicability to the
Neuse Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 2B .0233). The feature is labeled as "13- 1179" on the attached map
initialed by Mr. Scarbraugh on November 15, 2013. The project is located near the northwest
intersection of Arlington Boulevard and Fire Tower Road in Greenville, Pitt County, NC.
At your request, Mr. Scarbraugh conducted on -site determination as stated above. During his review,
he evaluated the stream using the DWR Stream Classification Form. He evaluated the stream reach 13-
3179 at N 35.56678, W 77.35810 and calculated the score to be 0 points. The feature was not present.
The form states that if the score is "greater than or equal to 19 points the stream is at least
intermittent."
The Division of Water Resources (DWR) has determined that the portion of the feature labeled as "13-
1179" on the attached map, and highlighted in red is not subject to the Neuse Buffer Rules. The
features and its associated buffers should be identified on any future plans for this property. The owner
(or future owners) should notify the DWR (and other relevant agencies) of this decision in any future
correspondences concerning this property. This on -site determination shall expire five (5) years from
the date of this letter.
