Dear Mr. Baker:
On August 9, 1999, I conducted a site visit of the stream involved in the above
referenced project. It was determined as a result of the site visit that the water body/
channel present on the property was an intermittent stream and therefore subject to the
Neuse River Basin: Nutrient Sensitive Waters Management Strategy; Protection and
Maintenance of Existing Riparian Areas, Administrative Code T15A:02B.0233 (NCAC
0233). The site visit was made to discuss a road access from the end of Sky Meadow
Drive onto the adjacent property (Pin # 0760 04-73-4151). The site contains streams
that are protected under the Neuse River Basin Plan. A road crossing could be
accomplished without buffer encroachment. However, there are no current plans to
mark the exact location of the road. It is allowable under the rule to disturb the buffer to
gain access to property providing that there is no practical alternative to this
disturbance.
The site was not completely evaluated just the area at the end of Sky Meadow
Drive.This office has assigned the reference number of NBRRO 99 176 to this project.
Thank you for your attention to this matter and if this Office can be of any assistance or
if you have any additional questions concerning this letter, please do not hesitate to
contact me at 571-4700 ext. 245.
