On-Site Determination for Applicability to the Neuse River Riparian Area Protection Rules
(15A NCAC 2B.0233)-EXPRESS REVIEW PROGRAM
Dear Mr. Thigpen:
On June 11, 2008, at your request I conducted an on-site determination to review drainage
features located on the subject property for applicability to the Neuse Buffer Rules (15A NCAC
2B .0233). The features are labeled as "08-0933A and 08-093313" on the attached maps initialed
by me on June 11, 2008.
The Division of Water Quality (DWQ) has determined that the feature labeled as "08-
0933A and 08-0933B" on the attached maps are not subject to the Neuse Buffer Rule. 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. Please note that the feature labeled as "08-0933B" on
the attached maps has developed characteristics of a linear wetland. It is advised that the Army
Corp of Engineers (ACE) be contacted to evaluate this area before any construction commences.
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.
