On-Site Determination for Applicability to the Neuse Riparian Area Protection Rules(15A NCAC 2B
.0233)-EXPRESS REVIEW PROGRAM
On October 3, 2007, at the request of Jay Keller, 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 October 4, 2007. The Division
of Water Quality(DWQ)has determined that the following:
• Feature"A" is not subject to the Neuse Buffer Rule on the property. The feature is an ephemeral stream.
• Feature"B" is not subject to the Neuse Buffer Rule. The pond is also not subject. Recent excavation of
the channel below the pond has accessed the water table such that there is some flow in the upper channel.
However, downstream of the excavation,the feature is clearly ephemeral.
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.
Sincerely,
Coleen H. Sullins, Director
