Geer St., Durham, NC 27701 Dear Mr. Allen and Ms. McKeen: On June 6, 2023, Cherri Smith conducted an on-site review of the streams located on the subject property to determine the applicability of the above-noted state regulation. The Division of Water Resources has determined that the streams listed in the table below and identified on the attached maps are shown on either the most recently published NRCS Soil Survey of Durham County and/or the USGS National Map at a scale that incorporates the National Hydrography Dataset High Resolution data at 1:24,000 scale. Streams that are listed as “Subject” within the table below have been located on the ground at the site and possess characteristics that qualify them to be at least intermittent in accordance with the NC Stream Identification Manual v.4.11 and therefore subject to the Neuse Riparian Buffer Rules. Please be aware that streams identified as “not subject” may be considered jurisdictional according to the US Army Corps of Engineers and subject to the Clean Water Act.
