As requested, the Town Public Works Department has performed a stream determination on the
property identified on the attached forms. 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.

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.
