Mr. Smith,
The Division of Water Resources has determined that the streams listed as "subject" above and
included on the attached map have been located on the most recent published (1974) NRCS Soil Survey
of Pitt County, North Carolina and/or the web based Digital USGS National Topographic Map
https://apps.nationalmap.gov/viewer/ and evaluated for applicability to the Neuse River Basin Riparian
Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 02B .0714). For each stream that is checked "Not Subject" it has been
determined to not be at least intermittent, not present on the property, a wetland area, ditch or not
represented on the most recent published (1974) NRCS Soil Survey of Pitt County, North Carolina and/or
the Digital USGS National Topographic Map at a scale of 1:24,000 or less. There may be other streams or
features located on the property that were not assessed and/or that do not appear on the maps
referenced above but may be considered jurisdictional according to the US Army Corps of Engineers and
subject to the Clean Water Act.

affected parties that dispute a determination made by the DWR may request a determination by the
Director. An appeal request must be made within sixty (60) calendar days of date of this letter to the
