Project Name: Croasdaile Country Club Property
Site Address / Location: Farm Gate Ave.; Durham, NC 27705
Dear Mr. Fiocco:
On December 5, 2023, at the request of Steven Ball with Soil & Environmental Consultants, Cherri Smith
conducted an on-site review of the stream located on the subject property to determine the
applicability of the above-noted state regulations.
The Division of Water Resources has determined that the stream listed in the table below and identified
on the attached maps is shown on either the most recently published NRCS Soil Survey of Durham
County and/or the 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 streams identified as “not subject” may be
considered jurisdictional according to the US Army Corps of Engineers and subject to the Clean Water
Act.
