Dear Mr. Ellis:
On September 2, 2009, at the request of Mr. Stephen Puckett, Lia Myott Gilleski conducted an on-site
determination to review two stream features located on the subject property for applicability to the Neuse
Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 2B .0233). The features are labeled as "A" and "B" on the attached maps
initialed by Lia M. Gilleski on September 2, 2009. The Division of Water Quality (DWQ) has
determined that the following:
Feature "A" is not subject to the Neuse Buffer Rule on the property or within 50 feet of the
project area.
Feature "B" is not subject to the Neuse Buffer Rule on the property or within 50 feet of the
project area.
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 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 Cyndi Karoly, DWQ 401 Oversight/Express Review
Permitting Unit, 2321 Crabtree Blvd., Raleigh, NC 27604-2260. 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.
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 or Waters of the
State. If you have any questions, please contact Lia Myott Gilleski at 919.733.9502.
