On -Site Determination for Applicability to the Mitigation Rules (15A NCAC 2H .0500)
Dear Mr. Cahoon:
On November 13, 2015, at your request and in your attendance, Sue Homewood conducted an
on-site determination to review features located on the subject project for stream
determinations with regards to the above noted state regulations. David Bailey with the US
Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) was also present at the site visit.
The Division acknowledges the areas and boundaries identified as jurisdictional wetlands by the
USACE. For the purposes of the above stated regulations, the attached map accurately depicts
all stream determinations conducted during the site visit.
Please note that at the time of this letter, all perennial stream channels and jurisdictional
wetlands found on the property are subject to the mitigation rules cited above. These
regulations are subject to change in the future.
The owner (or future owners) should notify the Division (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 Division 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 Wetlands and Buffers Permitting and Compliance Unit, 1650 Mail
Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-1650. Individuals that dispute a determination by the Division
or Delegated Local Authority that "exempts" 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. The
Division 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.
This letter only addresses the applicability to the mitigation rules and the buffer rules and does
not approve any activity within Waters of the United States or Waters of the State or their
associated buffers. If you have any additional questions or require additional information please
contact me at 336-771-4964 or [e-mail].
