Dear Mr. Darling:
Dee Freeman
Secretary
On June 2, 2009, in your attendance representing the NCDOT, Rob Ridings, NC Division of Water
Quality (NCDWQ) staff, conducted an on-site determination to review drainage features for applicability
to the Neuse River Buffer Rules. The drainage features are approximated on the attached maps.
The Division of Water Quality (DWQ) concurs with the referenced documents regarding
the following stream calls:
Smith Creek: Perennial; Subject to NBR.
Tributary SA: Ephemeral; Not subject to NBR.
Tributary SB: Intermittent; Subject to NBR.
Tributary SC: Perennial; Subject to NBR.
This letter only addresses the applicability to the buffer rules and does not approve any activity within the
buffer, Waters of the United States, or Waters of the State. Any impacts to wetlands, streams and buffers
must comply with the Neuse Buffer Rules, 404/401 regulations, water supply regulations (15A NCAC 2B
.0216), and any other required federal, state and local regulations. Please be aware that even if no direct
impacts are proposed to the protected buffers, sheet flow of all new stormwater runoff as per 15A NCAC
2B .0250 is required.
The owner (or future owners) or permittee should notify NCDWQ (and other relevant agencies) of this
decision in any future correspondences concerning this property and/or project. This on-site
determination shall expire five (5) years from the date of this letter.
Landowners or affected parties that dispute a determination made by NCDWQ or Delegated Local
Authority that a surface water exists and that it is subject to the mitigation rules 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 Brian Wrenn, NCDWQ Wetlands/401 Unit, 1650 Mail Service Center, Raleigh,
NC 27699-1650. Individuals that dispute a determination by NCDWQ or Delegated Local Authority that
"exempts" a surface water from the mitigation rules 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
