On-Site Determination for Applicability to the Neuse River Riparian Area Protection Rules
(15A NCAC 2B.0233)-EXPRESS REVIEW PROGRAM
Dear Sir or Madam:
On August 3, 2005, at your request I conducted an on-site determination to review one feature
located on the subject property for applicability to the Neuse Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 2B
.0233). The feature is labeled as "A" on the attached maps initialed by me on August 3, 2005.
The Division of Water Quality (DWQ) has determined that the feature labeled as "A" on
the attached maps is not subject to the Neuse Buffer Rule. 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 Dorney, 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. DWQ 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.
This letter only addresses the applicability to the buffer rules and does not approve any activity
within the buffers. Nor does this letter approve any activity within Waters of the United States
