Subject Property: Crenshaw Forest (Priscilla Rolls Property), feature B only
UT to Mud Branch
On-Site Determination for Applicability to the Neuse River Riparian Area Protection Rules
(15A NCAC 2B .0233)
Dear Mr. Payne:
On July 26, 2005, at your request I conducted an on-site determination to review one feature
located on the subject property for applicability to the Neuse Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 2B
.0233). The feature is labeled as "B" on the attached map initialed by me on July 26, 2005.
Division of Water Quality (DWQ) Staff from the Raleigh Regional Office (Steve Mitchell) had
previously conducted an on-site determination of the stream. In your letter to the Director dated
May 19, 2005, you requested an appeal of their determination as provided within 15A NCAC
02B .0233(3)(a).
At your request, 1 conducted an appeal of their determination as stated above. The DWQ has
determined that the stream labeled as "B" on the attached map is not subject to the Neuse
Buffer Rule. Feature B is not present on the ground until the edge of the northern
property boundary. Feature B then has an approximate 10 foot head-cut that starts a
deeply incised gully with no stream characteristics present. This determination shall replace
the determination originally performed by the Regional Office. 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.
This letter only addresses the applicability to the buffer rules and does not approve any activity
within the buffers. Nor does this letter approve any activity within Waters of the United States
or Waters of the State. If you have any additional questions or require additional information
please call me at [phone]. This determination is subject to review as provided in Articles
3 & 4 of G.S. 150B.
