Explanation: Feature A was present as an ephemeral ditch along the proposed driveway area
denoted in yellow on the soils map; it was not present to the southwest as drawn on the soils
map. Feature A became an intermittent channel at the start point referenced on both maps. This
was flagged by S&ME and DWR, although it is an active pasture area. The Feature continued as
an intermittent [or perennial] channel to the northeast offsite, presumably to the confluence at the
Neuse River.
There may be other streams located on your property that do not show up on the maps referenced
above but, still may be considered jurisdictional according to the US Army Corps of Engineers
and/or to the Division of Water Resources (DWR).

adjacent owners) is notified of this letter. A request for a determination by the Director shall be
referred to the Director in writing c/o Karen Higgins, DWR WeBSCaPe Unit, 1650 Mail Service
Center, Raleigh,NC 27699.
This determination is final and bindingunless, as detailed above, you ask for a hearingor appeal
pp
within sixty (60) days.
The owner/future owners should notify the Division of Water Resources (including any
other Local, State, and Federal Agencies) of this decision concerning any future
correspondences regarding the subject property (stated above). This project may require
