Dear Mr. Mulder:
On November 8, 2023, DWR Dorothy Robson conducted an on-site review of features located on the subject
property with Mr. Mulder and the owner Raymond Clark 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 most recent copy of the
USGS Topographic (at 1:24,000 scale) map(s). 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.
