On-Site Determination for Applicability to the Neuse Riparian Area Protection Rules (15A NCAC 2B
.0233) -EXPRESS REVIEW PROGRAM
Dear Mr. Hudak:
On October 2, 2007, at the request of Mr. David Meyer of Protocol Sampling Service, Inc., Lia Myott conducted
an on-site determination 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 maps
initialed by Lia Myott on October 3, 2007. The Division of Water Quality (DWQ) has determined that the
following:
Feature "A" is not subject to the Neuse Buffer Rule until its confluence with Feature B at the flag labeled
"A3 = B 1 ". Stream A is an intermittent stream at the flag labeled "A1" and transitions to a perennial
stream at the flag labeled "A2". Since the stream is not shown on either the most recent USGS
topographic map or the Johnston County soil survey, it is not buffered stream until flag "A3".
Feature "B" is subject to the Neuse Buffer Rule at the flag labeled "B 1 = A3". The stream transition from
an ephemeral stream to a perennial stream at its confluence with Feature A.
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 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 questions, please contact Lia Myott at 919.733.9502.
Sinc~ely,
