Tar -Pamlico River Riparian Buffer Rule. Each stream that is checked "Not Subject" has been determined to not be
at least intermittent or not present on the property. Streams that are checked "Subject" have been located on the
property and possess characteristics that qualify them to be at least intermittent streams. There may be other
streams or features located on the property that do not appear on the maps referenced above but may be
considered jurisdictional according to the US Army Corps of Engineers and subject to the Clean Water Act. Please
note that Jennifer Burdette and Mac Haupt with the DWR Central Office conducted onsite determination of these
reaches as provided in regulatory correspondence dated May 3, 2017. Your letter dated May 25, 2017 requested an
appeal of the previous intermittent determinations on UT 2 and UT 15.
This determination shall replace the determination originally performed by Central Office, DWR staff and shall
expire five (5) years from the date of this letter. Landowners or affected parties that dispute a determination
made by the DWR may request a determination by the Director. An appeal request must be made within sixty
(60) calendar days of date of this letter to the Director in writing.
