5. Project Description (attach plan if available) I plan to build a new house on the property. I note that approximately 150 feet of
riparian buffer is indicated on the northwestern portion of the property along the road frontage. There is an existing stormwater
drainage ditch area that only flows water during, and immediately after, a rain event. This area appears to meet the definition of an
"Ephemeral (stormwater) Stream". Under 15A NCAC 02B .0259 (3)(a), an Ephemeral (stormwater) Stream is exempt from the rules.
6. Has anyone from DWQ visited the site? No Staff Name: Date of Visit:
7. Attach a map of the site indicating project boundaries on the USGS 1:24,000 Topo and/or NRCS Soil Survey
If you are unable to locate either of these maps, please contact the DWR Washington Regional Office for assistance.
DWR Use Only: Is this determination for the purpose of Buffer mitigation? Nutrient offset credit?

Importance: High
Hello David,
Attached is the Buffer Applicability Request form and supporting documentation. I own a 10 -acre tract of land 1.5 miles
northwest of Falkland in Pitt County. I plan to build a house on the property starting in February. There is a drainage
Swale/ditch on the southwestern portion of the property that includes approximately 150 feet of area designated as
Riparian Buffer on the Pitt County GIS site (I have attached a copy for your reference). The USGS Topographic map does
not show a blue -line stream in this area. However, the Pitt County Soil Survey indicates an intermittent stream symbol
extending onto this area of my property. I have included copies of the topo map and the soil survey map with pencil
marks of the area of interest on my property. I will send a copy of this information via US Mail.
I have owned the property since August of 2015. 1 have walked through the low drainage area numerous times over the
past year, and I have noted that there is no flow in the drainage except during and immediately after a rain event. Based
upon a hand auger hole I bored on the property last year, the water table on the property is deep (>13 feet), and there
does not appear to be any baseflow groundwater discharge (i.e., seep or spring) to the drainage area of my property. I
believe that this area should be exempt from the riparian buffer rules because the area most likely meets the definition
of an "Ephemeral (stormwater) Stream". However, I would like to have a determination by the NCDEQ as to whether
this area is jurisdictional riparian buffer. If it is jurisdictional, I would appreciate some guidance about management of
the area in compliance with the riparian buffer rules.
Also, I know that I have jurisdictional riparian buffer on the northeastern property boundary along Otter Creek. I would
appreciate some guidance about how best to manage that portion of my property as well.
Feel free to call my cell phone [phone]) to schedule a meeting on the property. I am available any time tomorrow
and any day next week.
Thank you,
Jay
