On -Site Determination for Applicability to the Neuse River Riparian Area Protection Rules (15A NCAC 2B
.0233)
Dear Mr. Burkhardt:
On April 10, 2014, at your request, Eric Kulz of the Division of Water Resources (DWR) conducted an on-
site determination to review two features located within the project study area for applicability to the Neuse
Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 2B .0233). The features are labeled as "B (1,0001) and E (4,0001)" on the attached
maps initialed by Mr. Kulz on April 15, 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 28, 2014, you
requested an appeal of their determination as provided within 15A NCAC 02B .0233 (3) (a).
Mr. Kulz conducted an appeal of the original DWR determinations as stated above. During his review, Mr.
Kulz evaluated stream B (1,0001) using the DWR Stream Classification Form. Mr. Kulz evaluated the
portion of the feature located north of and upstream of the sanitary sewer easement. Feature B (1,000I) was
evaluated to have a score of 18 on the DWR form, when scoring for base flow (it had rained the previous
night). 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 "B (1,000I)" on the attached maps is at least an
"intermittent" stream and is subject to the Neuse Buffer Rule beginning at the start of the channel
south and downstream of the sanitary sewer easement. This feature is not subject to the north and
upstream of the easement. The channel is not present within the cleared easement.

Mr. Kulz then reviewed stream E (4,000i). The feature shown on the maps on the west (upstream) side of
Teabrook Drive is not present as a surface water feature, and appeared to have been piped when the
subdivision was constructed. A very shallow ephemeral, grassed swale empties into a drop inlet on the west
side of Teabrook Court. This feature emerges as a perennial stream from a culvert on the east side of
Teabrook Court.
The DWR has determined that the feature labeled as "E (4,0001)" on the attached -maps is at least an
"intermittent" stream and is subject to the Neuse Buffer Rule beginning at the culvert outlet on the
east, downstream side of Teabrook Court. There is no surface water feature immediately to the west
and upstream of Teabrook Court.
This determination shall replace the determination originally performed by the Raleigh Regional:
Office and shall expire five years from the date of this letter.
You can contest the Director's decision as provided in Articles 3 and 4 of G.S. 150B. To- contest the
Director's decision you must file a petition for an administrative hearing. You may obtain the- petition form_
from the office of Administrative hearings. You must file the petition with the office of Administrative
Hearings within sixty (60) days of receipt of this notice. A petition is considered filed when it is received in
the office of Administrative Hearings during normal office hours. The Office of Administrative Hearings
accepts filings Monday through Friday between the hours of 8:00am and 5:00pm, except for official state
holidays. The original and one (1) copy of the petition must be filed with the Office of Administrative
Hearings.
The petition may be faxed- provided the original and one copy of the document is received by the Office of
Administrative Hearings within five (5) business days following the faxed transmission.
