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 drainage was reviewed for applicability to the Neuse Buffer Rules in
accordance with (15A NCAC 2B .0233). The features are labeled as `B 1, B 2, B 2.5, BY on the attached maps and
initialed on April 21, 2014.
The Division of Water Resources (DWR) has determined that the features labeled as `B 2 to B2.5 and B3 to Bl" on
the attached maps and highlighted in red are not subject to the Neuse Buffer Rules. The feature labeled as `B 2.5
to Bl" on the attached maps and highlighted in blue is subject to the Neuse Buffer Rules. The stream determination
begins at point B2 (N 35° 43575 ", W 77° 86735 ") and continues down gradient to the end point BI (N 35° 43995', W 77°
86617) and marked on the ground with yellow DWQ flagging. The second feature begins at a drainage feature that passes
under Highway 13 North labeled as B3 ( N 35° 43571", W 77 °86816) and continues down gradient along the wood line to
point B 1 as illustrated on the attached maps 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
