On-Site Determination for Applicability to the Tar-Pamlico River Riparian Area
Protection Rules (15A NCAC 2B .0259)-EXPRESS REVIEW PROGRAM
Dear Mr. Owens:
On February 5, 2008, at your request I conducted an on-site determination to review stream
feature located on the subject property for applicability to the Tar-Pamlico Buffer Rules (15A
NCAC 2B .0259). The feature is labeled as "08-0231a and 08-0231b" on the attached maps
initialed by me on February 6, 2008.
The Division of Water Quality (DWQ) has determined that the features labeled as "08-
0231a to 08-0231b" on the attached maps and high lighted in red are subject to the Tar-
Pamlico Buffer Rule. This stream and its associated buffers should be identified on any future
plans for this property. The owner (or future owners) should notify the DWQ (and other relevant
agencies) of this decision in any. future correspondences concerning this property. 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 John Dorney, DWQ Wetlands/401 Unit, 2321 Crabtree Blvd.,
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 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. DWQ 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.
