On-Site Determination for Applicability to the Neuse River Riparian Area Protection Rules
(15A NCAC 2B .0233)
Dear Mr. Mitchell
On January 14, 2008, at your request Eric Kulz with the DWQ 401 Oversight and Express
Review Permitting Unitconducted an on-site determination to review one stream feature located
on the subject property for applicability to the Neuse Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 2B .0233). The
Feature is labeled as "A" on the attached map initialed by Mr. Kulz on January 14, 2008.
At your request, an on-site determination was conducted as stated above. During the review Mr.
Kulz evaluated the stream using the DWQ Stream Classification Form. Mr. Kulz evaluated the
stream reach A on the above-referenced property and calculated the score to be 16.5 points.. The
form states that if the score is "gxeater:than or equal to 19 points the stream is at least
intermittent".
The Division of Water Quality (DWQ) has determined that the surface water labeled as
"A" on the attached map is ephemeral and is Not Subject to the Neuse Buffer.Rule. The
intermittent origin of this feature was not located within 50 feet of the point where this feature
exited the southern property boundary. 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 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 be referred to
the Director in writing c/o Cyndi Karoly, DWQ 401 Oversight/Express Permitting Unit, 2321
Crabtree Blvd., Suite 250, Raleigh, NC 27604-2260. Individuals that dispute a determination by
the DWQ or Delegated Local Authority that "exempts" a surface water from the buffer rule may
