Subject Property: Property Located on North Side of Edwards Farm Road (SR 1737), D H Conley State
Road Project, Unnamed Tributary to Indian Well Swamp Creek, Neuse River Basin
On-Site Determination for Applicability to the Neuse River Riparian Area Protection Rules (15A NCAC
2B.0233)-EXPRESS REVIEW PROGRAM
Dear Mr. Williams:
On September 28, 2009, at your request, I conducted an on-site determination to review a drainage feature located on the
subject property for applicability to the Neuse Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 2B .0233). The feature is labeled as "09-0549
Ver. 2A" on the attached maps initialed by me on September 28, 2009.
The Division of Water Quality (DWQ) has determined that the feature labeled as "09-0549 Ver.2 A" on the
attached maps, and highlighted in red 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. Please note that although this feature did
not rate high enough to be considered an intermittent or perennial stream the feature may be considered to be 404
wetlands. It is therefore recommended that the Army Corp of Engineers (ACE) be contacted to review the subject feature
before any excavation begins.
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
