Dear Mr. Murray:
This memo is to confirm your on -site determination of the above - mentioned feature for applicability to
the Neuse Buffer Rules. The drainage feature is approximated on your map attached to your Feburary 14,
2014 email request Stream SFR.
NCDWR has confirmed that the feature is applicable to the Neuse Buffer Rules as shown as a blue
line on the attached jurisdictional map, and that the stream ceases where the blue line ends inside
Wetland WA as shown on the map. Please note that no other features at this project were evaluated at
this time.
This letter only addresses the applicability to the buffer rules and does not approve any activity within the
buffer, Waters of the United States, or Waters of the State. Any impacts to wetlands, streams and buffers
must comply with the Neuse Buffer Rules, 404/401 regulations, water supply regulations (15A NCAC 2B
.0216), and any other required federal, state and local regulations. Please be aware that even if no direct
impacts are proposed to the protected buffers, sheet flow of all new stormwater runoff as per 15A NCAC
2B.0233 is required.
The owner (or future owners) or permittee should notify NCDWR (and other relevant agencies) of this
determination in any future correspondences concerning this property and /or project. This on -site
determination shall expire five (5) years from the date of this letter.
Landowners or affected parties that dispute a determination made by NCDWR or Delegated Local
Authority that a surface water exists and that it is subject to the mitigation rules may request a ,
determination by the Director. A request for a determination by the Director shall be referred to the
Director in writing c/o Amy Chapman, NCDWR Wetlands /401 Unit, 1650 Mail Service Center, Raleigh,
