On-Site Determination for Applicability to the Neuse Riparian Area Protection Rules(15A NCAC 211
.0233)-EXPRESS REVIEW PROGRAM
On September 6, 2007, at the request of Mr. Phil May of Carolina Ecosystems, an on-site determination was
conducted to review two stream features located on the subject property for applicability to the Neuse Buffer
Rules(15A NCAC 2B .0233). The features are labeled as"A"and"B"on the attached map, initialed by Lia
Myott on September 7, 2007. The Division of Water Quality(DWQ) has determined that the following:
• Feature"A " is subject to the Neuse Buffer Rule at the flag labeled "A 1". The feature is an intermittent
stream at that location.
• Feature`B " is subject to the Neuse Buffer Rule from the property boundary at Hunter Street to the flag
labeled"B1"(determined to be an isolated intermittent stream). The feature becomes an intermittent
stream again at the flag labeled"132".
Additionally, during the site visit an isolated wetland line was field verified by Lia Myott at the location of the old
pond bed that is depicted as the northernmost pond on the property in the Wake County Soil Survey.
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 DWQ 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 Cyndi Karoly, DWQ 401 Oversight/Express Review Permitting Unit, 2321 Crabtree Blvd.,
Raleigh,NC 27604-2260. 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. This determination is final and binding unless you ask for a
hearing within 60 days.
This letter only addresses the applicability to the buffer rules of the stream features listed above and does not
approve any activity within the buffers or address features that were not observed during the site visit. Nor does
this letter approve any activity within Waters of the United States or Waters of the State. If you have any
questions, please contact Lia Myott at 919.733.9502.
