The Division of Water Resources has determined that the stream(s) listed above and included on the attached map(s)
have been located on the most recent published NRCS Soil Survey of Beaufort County, North Carolina and/or the
most recent copy of the USGS Topographic map at a 1:24,000 scale and evaluated for applicability to the Tar -Pamlico
River Riparian Buffer Rule. Each stream that is checked "Not Subject" has been determined to not be at least
intermittent or not present on the property. Streams that are checked "Subject" have been located on the property
and possess characteristics that qualify them to be at least intermittent streams. There may be other streams or
features located on the property that do not appear on the maps referenced above but may be considered
jurisdictional according to the US Army Corps of Engineers and subject to the Clean Water Act.
The stream determination request was made as part of a request to address ongoing flooding issues on the subject
property. According to the Table of Uses (15A NCAC 02B .0233 (6)), "Vegetation management: Removal of
individual trees which are in danger of causing damage to dwellings, other structures, or human life" is considered
to bean exempt activity within the Rule.
