Attn: Jeremy Jackson P.O. Box 79032 Charlotte, NC 28271 (Delivered via email: (lbrown@communityassociationmanagement.com) Subject: On-Site Determination for Applicability to the Neuse Riparian Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 02B .0714) Project Name: 7403 Leesville Road Site Address / Location: 7403 Leesville Rd.; Durham, NC 27703 Dear Mr. Jackson: On October 18, 2023, Cherri Smith conducted an on-site review of the stream located near the subject property to determine the applicability of the above-noted state regulations. This letter replaces the original Neuse Riparian Buffer Determination letter dated October 24, 2023 to correct the coordinates for the start point of Stream A. 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.
