On-Site Determination for Applicability to the Neuse Riparian Area Protection Rules (ISA NCAC 2B
.0233) -EXPRESS REVIEW PROGRAM
Dear Mr. Mikesh:
On September 28, 2007, at the request of Phil May of Carolina Ecosystems, Inc., Lia Myott conducted an on-site
determination to review five stream features located on the subject property for applicability to the Neuse Buffer
Rules (15A NCAC 2B .0233) and for their intermittent/perennial status. The features are labeled on the attached
maps initialed by Lia Myott on October 8, 2007. The Division of Water Quality (DWQ) has determined that the
following:
• Feature "SA-3" is a perennial stream at the flag labeled "SA-3" located at the confluence of two
uncontested intermittent streams. SA-3 is not subject to the Neuse Buffer Rule since it is not shown on
either the USGS topographic map or the Johnston County soil survey.
• Feature "SB-1" is not subject to the Neuse Buffer Rule since it is not shown on either the USGS
topographic map or the Johnston County soil survey. The feature transitions from an ephemeral stream to
a perennial stream at the flag labeled "SB-1".
• Feature "SC" is not subject to the Neuse Buffer Rule since it is not shown on either the USGS topographic
map or the Johnston County soil survey. The feature becomes an intermittent stream at the flag labeled
"SC-1" and transitions to a perennial stream at the flag labeled "SC-2".
• Feature "SD" is not subject to the Neuse Buffer Rule since it is not shown on either the USGS
topographic map or the Johnston County soil survey. The feature becomes an intermittent stream at the
flag labeled "SD-1" and transitions to a perennial stream at the flag labeled "SD-2".
• Feature "SE" is not subject to the Neuse Buffer Rule since it is not shown on either the USGS topographic
map or the Johnston County soil survey. The feature becomes an intermittent stream at the flag labeled
"SE-1 ".
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.
