Dear Mr. Watkins:
On March 11, 2009, at the request of Mr. Michael Moss of Cawthorne,Moss & Panciera, PC, Lia Myott
Gilleski and Joseph Gyamfi conducted an on-site determination to review two stream features located on
or near the subject properties for applicability to the Neuse Buffer Rules(15A NCAC 213 .0233). The
features are labeled as"A"and "B"on the attached maps initialed by Lia M. Gilleski on March 12, 2009.
The Division of Water Quality(DWQ)has determined that the following:
• Feature"A" is subject to the Neuse Buffer Rule on the property(PIN: 1831414217)at the DWQ
flag labeled, "A 1 —Ephemeral/Perennial point'. The feature transitions at this point from an
ephemeral stream to a perennial stream. Numerous crayfish and larval salamanders were
observed in the perennial stream.
• Feature"B" is not subject to the Neuse Buffer Rule on the property (PIN: 1831414217). The
feature is a highly degraded ephemeral stormwater channel.

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
