On-Site Determination for applicabilih' to the \euse Ri~-cr Riparian Area Protection Rules (15A \CAC
2B .4233)
Dear ~-ir. I Iarper:
At your request I conducted an on-site determination to ref iew• drainage features located on the subject property
for applicability to the Meuse Buffer Rules (l ~A \CAC ZB .0233). The property is located on the south side of
stC I-IVJY ~~ «'est, approximately 0.4 miles weft o!'the intersection of~NC Hti~'Y ~~ and ~tC HWY 11, at
Jacksons Crossroads, southwest of Kinston. The feature is labeled as `'2007-1652" on the attached map initialed
by me on October 12, 2007
The Division of Water Quality (DWQ) has detcrminrd that the portion of the feature that is highlighted
in pink on the attached map is lxemnt from the reuse Buffer Rules. The portion of the feature that is
highlighted in blue and circled on the attached map is Subject to the Meuse Buffer Rules. 'Phis feature
should be identified on any future plans for this propem•. The owner (or future owners) should notih~ the D~~'Q
(and other relevant agencies) of this decision in any' future correspondences concerning this property. 'this
determination pertains to the subject property only . ~fhis on-site determination shall expire five (~) years from
the date of this letter. Also, because there i~ c;xcessive material in the riparian buffer alongside the subject
portion of the feature, you should call Chris l'ullingcr at (252} 9q8 - 3920 to schedule another site visit to
identifi• and determine if any of the material that is in the riparian buffer qualifies as an existing use. jlny
material placed in the buffer that does not constitute an existing use must be removed from the riparian buffer.
Landowners or affected parties that dispute a det~miination made by the DWQ or Delegated Local Authority
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 he referred to the Director in writing c/o Cvndi Karoh•, DVdQ
Vl'etlands.!40l Unit, 2321 Crabtree Blvd., R:reigh. \C 2760-1-2?60. Individuals that dispute a determination by
the D~'~%Q or Delegated Local Authority that "exempts" a surface water from the buffer rule may ask for an
adjudicatory hearing. You must act within (it) dal s of the date that you receive this letter. Applicants are
hereby notified that the 60-day statutory appeal time doe, not scan until the affected party (including
downstream and adjacent landowners} is notified ol'this decision. DWQ recommends that the applicant
conduct this notification in order to he certain that third party appeals are made in a timel}• manner.
