On-Site Determination for Applicability to the Tar-Pamlico River Riparian Area
Protection Rules (15A NCAC 2B .0259)
Dear Mr. Schweer:
At your request I conducted an on-site determination to review a drainage feature located
on the subject property for applicability to the Tar-Pamlico Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 2B
.0259). The feature is labeled as "2009-0658" on the attached map initialed by me on
September 15, 2009. The project is located between Washington Street and Lee Street,
on the north side of West Main Street in Belhaven, NC.
The Division of Water Quality (DWQ) has determined that the surface water
circled, highlighted in pink, and labeled as "2009-0658" on the attached map is a
man-made feature, and is NOT SUBJECT to the Tar-Pamlico Buffer Rule. This
feature and it's 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 Cyndi Karoly, DWQ, 401
Oversight/Express Review Permitting Unit, 2321 Crabtree Blvd., Suite 250, 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 or Waters of the State. If you have any additional questions or require
additional information please call Chris Pullinger at [phone].
Sincerely,
Chris Pullinger
