You can either send in a formal Appeal call request for the stream and pond that I called subject, this request is to be sent to the Director however he has delegated that authority to Cyndi Karoly so you can send the request directly to her. I will not be able to go back out to make that call, it will either be Cyndi or whomever she delegates. Or, you can breech the dam and drain the pond and schedule another site visit in about 6 months to see what if anything has settled in the pond bottom and below the pond. If this is what you and your client decide to do then it needs to be done correctly, you need to pump the pond down and then breech the dam. If you just breech the dam then you would likely cause water quality violations with the sediment that will be directly released into the system. Unfortunately, we come across this issue quite often with the rural areas. The stream feature in question is located in a linear Bibb soil series and from experience, these soil series typically contain stream features. If I remember correctly, the pond is below the subject stream feature and is oddly delineated on the USGS topo map, I don't disagree that this pond was dug but possibly dug farther down on the drainage system which is now below the water table (or seasonal water table), either would still be considered intermittent. Please let us know what you and your client choose to do. thanks, debbie Richie Hines wrote: Debbie, Hope you are doing well and enjoying the summer - I feel like it will be gone before we know it... Got a question for you about the pond and ditch that you buffered at the subject site a couple of months back (94Q-EXP#--05-0824-)- The developer would like to drain the pond so he can utilize the site for his proposed townhomes. I talked to the contractor who cleaned the ditch out and dug the pond many years ago, and he tells me that there was not a stream that fed the pond. He says he deepened the ditch to help drain the fields and dug the pond so the farmer could irrigate, and that if the pond is pumped dry, it will just fill up again after the next rain. Can you come out after it is dry to investigate it and give us your opinion of whether you think it will need buffering? With this particular section of the development, time is critical. I'm sure you haven't heard that before ... Any help you could give me with this client would be appreciated. Lee R. Hines, Jr., PE (Richie) Southwind Surveying and Engineering, Inc.

The features are labeled as "l, 2 and 3" on the attached maps initialed by me on May 20, 2005. The Division of Water Quality (DWQ) has determined that the features labeled as 4 and 2" on the attached maps are subject to the Neuse Buffer Rule, the origin of these features have been delineated and identified in the field with blue flagging. The feature labeled as 113" is not subject to the Neuse Buffer Rule. These stream features and their associated buffers should be identified on any future plans for this property. 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. Landowners or affected parties that dispute a determination made by the DWQ 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 John Domey, DWQ Wetlands/401 Unit, 2321 Crabtree Blvd., _ Raleigh, NC 27604-2260. Individuals that dispute a determination by the DWQ or Delegated Local Authority that "exempts" a 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.
