On -Site Determination for Applicability to the Neuse River Riparian Area Protection Rules (15A NCAC
2B.0233)
Dear Mr. Beavers:
On April 16, 2014, at your request, Mr. Roberto Scheller of this Office conducted an on -site determination of drainage
features located on the subject property. The drainages were reviewed for applicability to the Neuse Buffer Rules in
accordance with (15A NCAC 213 .0233). The feature is labeled as "A 1 to A 2" on the attached maps and initialed on
April 21, 2014.
The Division of Water Resources (DWR) has determined that the feature labeled as "Al to A2" on the attached
maps and highlighted in red is not subject to the Neuse Buffer Rules. All other features on the attached maps
highlighted in red are considered drainage features and are not subject to the riparian buffer rules. The stream
determination begins at point Al (N 35° 18 50.42', W 78° 09 19.03 ") and continues down gradient to the end point A2 (N
350 18 53.29 ", W 78° 09 22.23 ") and marked on the ground with yellow DWQ flagging.
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. Landowners or affected parties that dispute a determination made by the DWR or Delegated Local Authority that a
surface water exists and that it is subject to the buffer rule may request a determination by the Director. A request for a
determination by the Director shall be referred to the Director in writing c/o Karen Higgins, 1650 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, NC 27699 -1650. Individuals that dispute a determination by the DWR or Delegated Local Authority that
