On-Site Determination for Applicability to the Neuse River Riparian Area Protection Rules (15A
NCAC 2B .0233)-EXPRESS REVIEW PROGRAM
Dear Mr. Harrison:
On September 20, 2007, at the request of Mr. Eric Frank of McKim & Creed, I conducted an on-site
determination to review drainage feature located on the subject property for applicability to the Neuse
Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 2B .0233). The feature is labeled as "06-0807-5" on the attached map initialed
by me on September 20, 2007.
The Division of Water Quality (DWQ) has determined that the feature labeled as "06-0807-5" on
the attached maps is Not Subject to the Neuse Buffer Rule. This drainage and its associated buffers
should be identified on any future plans for this property. The owner (or future owners) should notify the
DWQ (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 DWQ 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 John Dorney, DWQ Wetlands/401 Unit, 2321 Crabtree Blvd., Raleigh, NC 27604-2260. Individuals
that dispute a determination by the DWQ or Delegated Local Authority that "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.
DWQ 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.
This letter only addresses the applicability to the buffer rules and does not approve any activity within the
buffers. Nor does this letter approve any activity within Waters of the United States or Waters of the
State. If you have any additional questions or require additional information please call Roberto Scheller
