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

are made in a timely manner. To ask for a hearing, send a written petition, which conforms to Chapter
15OB of the North Carolina General Statutes to the Office of Administrative Hearings, 6714 Mail Service
