Please note that other sites identified in the jurisdiction verification request package but not reviewed on
site by NCDWQ will be considered accurate as presented.
This letter only addresses the applicability to the mitigation rules and the buffer rules and does not
approve any activity within the buffer, Waters of the United States, or Waters of the State. Any impacts
to wetlands, streams and buffers must comply with the 404/401 regulations, water supply regulations
(15A NCAC 2B .0216), and any other required federal, state and local regulations.
The owner (or future owners) or permittee should notify NCDWQ (and other relevant agencies) of this
decision in any future correspondences concerning this property and/or project. 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 NCDWQ or Delegated Local
Authority that a surface water exists and that it is subject to the mitigation rules 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 Brian Wrenn, NCDWQ Wetlands/401 Unit, 1650 Mail Service Center, Raleigh,
NC 27699-1650. Individuals that dispute a determination by NCDWQ or Delegated Local Authority that
"exempts" a surface water from the mitigation rules 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 start until the affected party (including downstream and adjacent
landowners) is notified of this decision. NCDWQ recommends that the applicant conduct this
notification in order to be certain that third party appeals are made in a timely manner. To ask for a
hearing send a written petition, which conforms to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes
to the Office of Administrative Hearings, 6714 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, N.C. 27699-6714. This
determination is final and binding unless you ask for a hearing within 60 days.
If you have any additional questions or require additional information please call me at 336-771-4959 or
