DANIEL SMITH Director NORTH CAROLINA Environmental Quality June 22, 2021 Project 20210755 Person County Matt Butler EBX, LLC a Resource Environmental Solutions entity mbutler@res.us Subject: Determination for Applicability to the Neuse Buffer Rules 15A NCAC 02B .0714 Project Name: Chappels Creek Full Delivery Mitigation Site Address: 1699 Antioch Church Road, Timberlake, Person County, NC 27574 Location: Lat., Long: 36.328390,-78.945578 Dear Mr. Butler: On April 29, 2021, Shelton Sullivan of the Division of Water Resources (DWR) conducted an on -site review of features located on the Chappels Creek Full Delivery Mitigation Site at the request of EBX, LLC to determine the applicability of features on the site to the Neuse River Riparian Area Protection Rules, Title 15A North Carolina Administrative Code 02B .0714. The streams on the site include Chappels Creek, Stream Index 27-3-2-1, classified as Water Supply I1I; Nutrient Sensitive Waters, and unnamed tributaries to Chappels Creek. The enclosed map(s) depict the feature(s) evaluated and this information is also summarized in the table below. Streams were evaluated for being ephemeral, at least intermittent, and for subjectivity to the Neuse River Riparian Buffer Rules. Streams that are considered "Subject" have been located on the most recently published NRCS County Soil Survey and/or the most recent copy of the USGS Topographic (at 1:24,000 scale) map(s), have been located on the ground at the site, and possess characteristics that qualify them to beat least intermittent streams. Features that are considered "Not Subject" have been determined to not be at least intermittent, not present on the property, or not depicted on the required maps. This determination only addresses the applicability to the buffer rules within the proposed easement and does not approve any activity within buffers or within waters of the state. There may be other streams or features located on the property that appear or do not appear on the maps referenced above. Any of the features on the site may be considered jurisdictional according to DWR, the US Army Corps of Engineers, and subject to the Clean Water Act.
