Sullins, Director Division of Water Quality DWQ EXP# 06-1798v5 Johnston County 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.
