On -Site Determination for Applicability to the Tar - Pamlico River Riparian Area Protection Rules (15A NCAC
2B .0259)
Dear Mr. Tyson:
On May 13, 2014, at your request Anthony Scarbraugh conducted an on -site determination to review
unnamed tributary (UT) to Durham Creek located on 'the subject property for applicability to the Tar -
Pamlico Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 2B .0259). The feature is labeled as "14- 0473" on the attached maps
initialed by Mr. Scarbraugh on May 15, 2014. The project is located on the northeast intersection of
Bonnerton Road and Hounddog Avenue in Beaufort County, NC.
At your request, Mr. Scarbraugh conducted an on -site determination as stated above. During his review, he
evaluated the stream using the DWQ Stream Classification Form. He evaluated the stream reach 14- 0473at
N 35.37396, W 77.83560 and calculated the score to be 10.75 points. The form states that if the score is
"greater than or equal to 19 points the stream is at least intermittent." In addition, the feature was not
present on either the most recent of the soil survey map prepared by the NRCS US Department of
Agriculture or the most recent version of the 1:24,000 scale (7.5 minute) quadrangle topographic maps
prepared by the US Geological Survey. In accordance with 15A NCAC 2B .0259 (3) which states that
riparian buffers adjacent to surface waters that do not appear on either of the maps shall not be subject to
this Rule.
The Division of Water Resources (DWR) has determined that the feature labeled as "14- 0473" on the
attached maps, and highlighted in red are not subject to the Tar - Pamlico Buffer Rules. These feature and
the 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.

Director in writing c/o Karen Higgins, DWR 401 & Buffer Permitting Unit, 1650 Mail Service Center, Raleigh,

"exempts" a surface water from the buffer rule may ask for an adjudicatory hearing. You must act within
60 days of the date that you receive this letter. Applicants are hereby notified that the 60 -day statutory
appeal time does not start until the affected party (including downstream and adjacent landowners) is
notified of this decision. DWR recommends that the applicant conduct this notification in order to be
certain that third party appeals are made in a timely manner. To ask for a hearing, send a written petition,
which conforms to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes to the Office of Administrative
Hearings, 6714 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, N.C. 27699 -6714. This determination is final and binding
unless you ask for a hearing within 60 days.

buffers. Nor does this letter approve any activity within Waters of the United States or Waters of the State.
