Site Address / Location: 214 E. Markham Ave., Durham, NC 27701
Dear Mr. Marshall:
On June 13, 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.
