Subject: Buffer Determination Letter
NBRRO # 22-445
Johnston

Determination Type:
Buffer Intermittent/Perennial
Neuse (15A NCAC 2B .0714)
Tar-Pamlico (15A NCAC 2B .0734)
Jordan (15A NCAC 2B .0267) (governmental
and/or interjurisdictional projects)

Intermittent/Perennial Determination (where local
buffer ordinances apply)

(1) E = Ephemeral, I = Intermittent, P = Perennial, NP = Not Present, N/A=Not Applicable
(2) Refers to State riparian buffer rules only. Stream, wetland, or pond impacts are still subject to applicable water
quality standards and permitting requirements.

Explanation: The stream(s)/pond(s) listed above has been located on the most recent published NRCS Soil Survey
of Johnston County, North Carolina and/or the most recent copy of the USGS Topographic map at a 1: 24,000 scale.
Each feature that is checked “Not Subject” has been determined to not be an intermittent stream, perennial stream, a
pond connected to a stream feature, or the feature is determined not to be present . Stream features that are checked
“Subject” have been located on the property and possess characteristics that qualify them to be subject to the buffer
rules. There may be other streams located on the property that are not depicted on the maps referenced above and
are therefore not subject to the buffer rules. However, if the stream features are present on the tract they are subject
to all other applicable North Carolina stream standards and permitting requirements as outlined in 15A NCAC 02B,
and may be considered jurisdictional according to the US Army Corps of Engineers .
