Subject: On -Site Determination for Applicability to the Buffer Mitigation Rules (15A NCAC 2B .0295)
Subject Property: Major Hill Restoration Site, Graham NC, Alamance County
Dear Mr. Creech:
On February 12, 2018, at your request, Sue Homewood conducted an on-site determination to review
features located on the subject project for stream determinations with regards to the above noted state
regulations.
Based on the on-site determination as well as a review of the Alamance County Soil Survey and the
USGS 1:24,000 topographic map, it was determined that UTI as shown on the attached map is an
intermittent stream which begins at the outlet of the existing pond. UT2 as shown on the attached map
was determined to be an intermittent stream throughout the proposed project boundary.
Please note that the Jordan Lake Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 02B .0267) apply to UTI and UT3 as shown on
the attached map.
The owner (or future owners) should notify the Division (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.
Landowners or affected parties that dispute a determination made by the Division or Delegated Local
Authority 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 shall be referred to the Director in writing c/o
401 & Buffer Permitting Branch, 1650 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-1650. Individuals that
dispute a determination by the Division or Delegated Local Authority that "exempts" surface water from
the buffer rule 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 statutory appeal time does not start until
the affected party (including downstream and adjacent landowners) is notified of this decision. The
Division recommends that the applicant conduct this notification in order to be certain that third party
appeals are made in a timely manner. To ask for a hearing, send a written petition, which conforms to
Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes to the Office of Administrative Hearings, 6714 Mail
Service Center, Raleigh, N.C. 27699-6714. This determination is final and binding unless you ask for a
hearing within 60 days.
