Skvarla, III Secretary DWR Project # 2014 -0262 Wake County On -Site Determination for Applicability to the Neuse River Riparian Area Protection Rules (15A NCAC 2B .0233) Dear Mr. Beatty: On April 4, 2014, at your request, Katie Merritt of the Division of Water Resources (DWR) conducted an on- site determination to review one feature located on the subject property for applicability to the Neuse Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 2B .0233). The feature is labeled as "S" on the attached maps initialed by Ms. Merritt on April 7, 2014. DWR Staff from the Raleigh Regional Office had previously conducted an on -site determination of this feature. In your letter to the Director dated March 13, 2014, you requested an appeal of their determination as provided within 15A NCAC 0213 .0233 (3) (a). Ms Merritt conducted an appeal of the original DWR determination as stated above. During her review, Ms. Merritt evaluated the stream using the DWR Stream Classification Form. Ms. Merritt evaluated the feature starting at the head cut and proceeding downstream on the subject property and calculated the score to be 23.5 points. The form states that if the score is "greater than or equal to 19 points the stream is at least intermittent ". The form is attached to this letter. The DWR has determined that the feature labeled as "S" on the attached maps is at least an "intermittent" stream and is subject to the Neuse Buffer Rule. This determination shall replace the determination originally performed by the Raleigh Regional Office and shall expire five years from the date of this letter.
