The Division of Water Resources has determined that the streams listed above and included on the
attached map have been located on the most recent published NRCS Soil Survey of CRAVEN 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 NEUSE 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.
This on-site determination shall expire five (5) years from the date of this letter. Landowners or affected
parties that dispute a determination made by the DWR may request a determination by the Director.
