Subject: On-Site Determination for Applicability to the Tar-Pamlico Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 02B .0734)
Project Name: Tharrington Tract
Site Address / Location: Intersection of Tharrington Road & Turkey Foot Road
Dear Jakob Tharrington:
On October 5, 2023, Joe Myers conducted an on-site review of features located on the subject property
at the request of Jakob Tharrington to determine the applicability of the above-noted state regulations.
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 Nash 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 Tar-
Pamlico 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.

on the USGS Topographic map) has formed from the breach. Pond 1 is no longer present and is not
subject to the riparian buffer rules. Feature B is considered subject to the riparian buffer rules.
