On-Site Determination for Applicability to the Neuse Riparian Area Protection Rules (15A NCAC 2B
.0233)-EXPRESS REVIEW PROGRAM
On May 1, 2008, at the request of Mr. Neal Floyd of True Line Surveying, an on-site determination was
conducted to review one open water 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 Lia Myott on May
2, 2008. The Division of Water Quality (DWQ) has determined that the following:
• Feature "A" is not subject to the Neuse Buffer Rule. The pond is located in what may be an old bay and
the pond appears man made. No wetland determinations were made during the site visit.
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 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 Review
Permitting Unit, 2321 Crabtree Blvd., Raleigh, NC 27604-2260. 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. This determination is
final and binding unless you ask for a hearing within 60 days.
This letter only addresses the applicability to the buffer rules of the stream features listed above and does not
approve any activity within the buffers or address features that were not observed during the site visit. Nor does
this letter approve any activity within Waters of the United States or Waters of the State. If you have any
questions, please contact Lia Myott at 919.733.9502.
