This determination indicates whether different types of streams (perennial, intermittent, and/or ephemeral) or perennial waterbodies are present on the property in question or nearby properties. These streams and their classifications are shown on the accompanying map. Stream segments regulated by the Jordan Lake Stream Buffer ordinance are highlighted. Locations of all features on the map are approximate and must be field surveyed for precise location. This stream determination information is used to determine the location and extent of the Resource Conservation District and Jordan Lake Stream Buffer. Specific land use regulations and restrictions apply within the boundaries of these protected areas, If you are considering any kind of work on your property, including clearing vegetation, paving, grading, or building, please consult with the Town Planning Department to determine the possible extent of the Resource Conservation District and Jordan Lake Stream Buffer on your property and corresponding regulations. This classification will remain in effect for five years from the date of the site visit before a request for reclassification will be considered, unless the stream channel characteristics are significantly altered as a result of watershed changes. In accordance with the Town's procedures, you may appeal this administrative decision to the Town Manager. if you wish to do so, you must file your written appeal accompanied by any materials you believe support your appeal, within 30 days of receipt of this letter. If you have questions regarding stream determinations, please contact me at (919) 969-2042. If you have questions regarding the Town's Resource Conservation Districts or the Jordan Riparian Buffer regulations, please contact the Planning Department at (919) 968-2728, or view information online at http://www.townofchapelhill.org/index-aspx?page=1615. Regards, Dave Almond Dave Almond Water Quality Specialist 932111 MM These are the results of a site visit to the properties listed above for a stream determination conducted on 6/1712013 by Town Staff: ❑ No perennial, intermittent, or ephemeral streams or perennial waterbodies were identified on or near the property(ies) in question. nE Perennial, intermittent, or ephemeral streams, or perennial waterbodies, were identified on or near the property(ies) in question and shown on the attached map. A map showing water features, their Town flow classifications, presence of Jordan Riparian Buffers, and their approximate locations is attached. Origins or breakpoints that have been flagged in the field are marked on the map. Stream classification forms and additional site visit notes and maps are also attached, other conditions exist which may affect the location of the Resource Conservation District or Jordan Stream Buffer: 1-1 FEMA floodzone is mapped in the area. Precise location of the Base Flood Elevation and associated Resource Conservation District must determined by a field survey commissioned by the owner or a representative. X Segments of perennial or intermittent stream are piped in the area, as shown on the map. These segments do not have an associated Jordan Stream Buffer. n Possible Jurisdictional Wetlands have been identified in the area. A formal review by a professional certified in Jurisdictional Wetland Delineation is recommended.
