Robson conducted an on-site review of features located on the subject property at the request of Kevin Murphy with Soil & Environmental Consultants, PA (S&EC) 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 Wake County and 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.

The owner (or future owners) should notify the Division (and other relevant agencies) of this decision in any future correspondences concerning this property. Landowners or affected parties that dispute this determination made by the Division may request a determination by the Director of Water Resources.
