Project Name: M Clayton Rentals Tract
Site Address / Location: 531 W. Main Street, Clayton, NC 27527

Dear Mr. Brown:

On September 28th, Kevin Fowler conducted an on-site review of features located on the subject
property with / at the request of Brown’s Environmental Group Inc. to determine the applicability of the
above-noted state regulations. Wyatt Brown with Brown’s Environmental Group was present during the
site visit.

The Division of Water Resources has determined that streams listed in the table below and identified on
the attached maps are shown on either the most recently published NRCS Soil Survey of Johnston
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” on the below table have
been located on the ground at the site and possess characteristics that qualify them to be at least
intermittent streams in accordance with the NC Stream Identification Manual v.4.11 and therefore
subject to the Neuse Buffer Rules. Please be aware that features identified as “not subject” may be
considered jurisdictional according to the US Army Corps of Engineers and subject to the Clean Water
Act.
