Dear Mrs. Montieth;
Dee Freeman

On October 6, 2010, at your request and in your attendance, Amy Euliss, NC Division of Water Quality
(NCDWQ) staff along with Jerry Parker, NCDOT and Andy Williams, USACE, conducted an on-site
determination to review drainage features located at Bridge No. 20S on R 2755 in Guilford County for
applicability to the Jordan Lake buffer Rules and for applicability to the mitigation rules (15A NCAC 2H
.0506(h)). The drainage features are approximated on the attached map initialed and dated October 20,
2010.
Feature ID Stream Site Visited Stream Buffered
S1 Rock Creek Yes Perennial Yes
S2 UT 1 to Rock Creek Yes Perennial No
S3 UT 2 to Rock Creek Yes Perennial Yes
Please note that no other features at the site were evaluated. Also, this letter only addresses
applicability to the Jordan Buffer Rules at the site specifically marked on the attached map and
does not apply to reaches of the channel [or drainage feature] further downstream from the
NCDOT project area, or to any other drainage features in the vicinity.
This letter only addresses the applicability to the mitigation rules and the buffer rules and does not
approve any activity within the buffer, Waters of the United States, or Waters of the State. Any impacts
to wetlands, streams and buffers must comply with the Jordan Buffer Rules, 404/401 regulations, water
supply regulations (15A NCAC 2B .0216), and any other required federal, state and local regulations.
Please be aware that even if no direct impacts are proposed to the protected buffers, sheet flow of all new
stormwater runoff as per 15A NCAC 2B .0267 is required.
The owner (or future owners) or permittee should notify NCDWQ (and other relevant agencies) of this
decision in any future correspondences concerning this property and/or project. 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 NCDWQ or Delegated Local
Authority that a surface water exists and that it is subject to the mitigation rules 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 Brian Wrenn, NCDWQ Wetlands/401 Unit, 1650 Mail Service Center, Raleigh,
NC 27699-1650. Individuals that dispute a determination by NCDWQ or Delegated Local Authority that
"exempts" a surface water from the mitigation rules 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. NCDWQ 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
