On-Site Determination for Applicability to the Neuse River Riparian Area Protection Rules (15A NCAC
2B .0233)
Dear Mr. Lawrence,
On February 29, 2008, at your request I conducted an on-site determination to review drainage features located
on the subject property for applicability to the Neuse River Riparian Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 213.0233). The
property is located East of Havelock on the west side of US 70 at Sandy Run. The feature is labeled as "2008-
0163" on the attached revised map initialed by me on February 29, 2008.
The Division of Water Quality (DWQ) has determined that the portion of the feature that is
of the feature that is highlighted in blue and circled on the attached map is Subject to the Neuse Buffer
Rules. This feature 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 determination pertains to the subject property only. 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
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.
