On-Site Determination for Applicability to the Neuse Riparian Area Protection Rules (15A NCAC
2B .0233 EXPRESS REVIEW PROGRAM
Dear Mr. Knopf:
On July 25, 2007, at your request I conducted an on-site determination to review a Blue Line Stream
feature located on the subject property for applicability to the Neuse Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 2B .0233).
The feature is labeled as "07-1275 (a&b)" on the attached maps initialed by me on July 25, 2007.
The Division of Water Quality (DWQ) has determined that the feature labeled as "07-1275a and 07-
1275b" on the attached maps is Exempt to the Neuse Buffer Rule. From a point at the headwaters
(07-1275 a) to a point where the ditch runs into the wood line adjacent to athletic field (07-1275 b)
and highlighted in red is Exempt from the Neuse Buffer Rules. This exemption 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.
