Subject: On-Site Determination for Applicability to the Tar-Pamlico Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 02B .0734)
Project Name: 102 Sequoia Drive
Site Address / Location: 102 Sequoia Drive, Louisburg
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Traversi:
On February 7, 2024, DWR Staff, Dorothy M Robson and Donald Smith, conducted an on-site review of
features located on the subject property 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 Franklin 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
BASIN 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.

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.
