Dear Mr. Clark.
On November 15. 2000. I met with you at the subject property located along Hodge Road (SR2516). north
of Mingo (.Nlango Creek and west of the Neuse River. Knightdale. Wake County. The purpose of this
meeting was to determine the applicability of stream features located on the property to the Neuse River
Riparian Buffer Protection Reuulations (I5A NCAC 213 .0233).
As a result of this meeting. in addition to information provided within your letter dated 11115100. it was
determined that the stream features indicated on the "W&W Partners / Knightdale Site Project #00-5705-
map provided as an attachment to your letter dated 11115100 and initialed by me on 11/27/00 are subject to
15A NCAC 2B .0233. The map indicates streams "1, 2 and 3", including the approximate location of the
start of two streams ( I and 2), subject to the buffer regulations as confirmed and flagged in the field on
11115100. The stream indicated as ••3" is subject from somewhere north of the northern property line to the
southern property line. The drainage features "A, D, E. F. G and I" on the attached Wake County Soil
Survey are indicated containing streams within them. However, it was determined during our site visit that
no "surface waters" subject to the riparian buffer protection rules actually exists within them. This office
.recommends that the subject streams be properly located and identified prior to any site design to ensure
compliance with 15A NCAC 2B .0233.
This letter only addresses the applicability of 15A NCAC 213 .0233(3) and does not authorize any activity
within the protected buffers. Thank you for your attention to this matter and if this office can be of any
assistance or if you have additional questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at 733-9726.
Sincerely.

Re: Division of Water Quality (DWQ) Verification Meeting of the Neuse Buffer Determination for the
property known as the Knightdale (Hodge Road) Site, Wake County, North Carolina
Dear Mr. Hunter:
On November 15, 2000, Mr. Bob Zarzecki of the DWQ, and I reviewed the channel features on the
property. It was determined that Mingo Creek and features 1, 2, and 3 as shown on the attached
map are subject to the Neuse River Buffers (see Neuse River Buffer Rules below). Although other
features were shown on the Wake County Soil Survey Map, no other features were determined to be
subject to the Neuse Buffer Rules. Mr. Zarzecki will be sending written confirmation of his findings.
Neuse River Buffer Rules
The Neuse River Buffer rules, which came into effect on 7/22/97, protect up to 50 feet from the edge of
existing "surface waters" (intermittent streams, perennial streams, lakes, ponds and estuaries) found
within the Neuse River Basin. The 50-foot buffer basically consists of two zones. The first zone is
measured 30 feet landward from the top bank of streams and intended to contain an undisturbed-forested
area. The second zone is measured 20 feet from the edge of the first zone and is intended to contain a
vegetated buffer. A couple of notable points of the rules include; the allowance of grading with re-
vegetating within Zone 2 (the outer 20 feet) and the requirement of mitigation for road crossings greater
than 150 feet in width and utility lines running parallel and within the buffers. Please call if you would
like to discuss these new changes.
Additional Services
If you choose to have us perform additional work, the following is a listing of additional services:
(1) Request that the USACE verify our delineation and (2) Notification to the USACE and DWQ
regarding impacts to wetlands and permitting issues, if required. This additional work can be completed
at our hourly rates or a proposal can be generated. Please advise.
Please call if you need further explanation.
Sincerely,
Sean Clark
