Smith Creek Water Supply Watershed Boundary Change Approval
Dear Mr. Miles:
The Division of Energy, Mineral and Land Resources (DEMLR) has reviewed and approved the
proposed revision to Wake Forest's Smith Creek water supply watershed protection boundary received by
our office on July 17, 2019. Regrading a portion of the Envision Science Academy property for the
purposes of adding athletic fields and recreational spaces for the school will shift the ridge line to the
east. This regrading will direct stormwater from approximately 0.87 acres of the Smith Creek water
supply watershed to Hatters Branch watershed. Hatters Branch joins Smith Creek south of NC98,
downstream of the reservoir and outside of the water supply watershed.
Since this request is submitted prior to the regrading work, please submit the as -built survey showing the
as -built topography and watershed boundary and an Engineer's Certification after the work is complete.
The Town should also maintain the most current water supply watershed boundary map(s).
DEMLR approves this boundary change in accordance with North Carolina General Statute 143-214.5
and North Carolina Administrative Code 15A NCAC .0100, .0200, .0620-.0624. Specifically, 15A
NCAC 2B .0623 (4) requires that all revisions to the water supply watershed boundaries must be
approved by the Environmental Management Commission (EMC) or its designee prior to adoption by the
local government.
We appreciate Wake Forest's efforts to help protect the vital public water supplies of this state. Please
contact me at [e-mail] or [phone] should you need assistance.
Sincerely,
Paul Clark
Water Supply Watershed Protection Coordinator
