On -Site Determination for Applicability to the Neuse River Riparian Area Protection Rules (15A NCAC 2B
.0233)
Dear Mr. Chittilla:
On July 8, 2014, at your request, Mr. Roberto Scheller of this Office conducted an on -site determination of a drainage
feature located adjacent to 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 "S 1 to S 2" on the attached maps and initialed on
July 9, 2014.
The Division of Water Resources (DWR) has determined that the feature labeled as "S3 to S 2" on the attached maps
and highlighted in red is not subject to the Neuse Buffer Rules. The stream determinations are as illustrated on the
attached maps.
The stream determination begins at a culvert inlet next to Country Day Road (S.R. 1569), labeled as S1, and continues
down gradient several hundred feet to a point where the culvert ends. The drainage feature continues down gradient
towards Howell Branch to point S2. This drainage feature is considered not subject to the Neuse Riparian Buffer Rules.
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
