Dear Mr. Spaulding:
NC ENR
NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF
ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL RESOURCES
April 5, 1999
You recently sent in a request for Neuse River Riparian Buffer Rule evaluation for a 12 acre tract
on the west side of Ebeneezer Church Road adjacent to the Brownleigh Industrial Park. During a
recent site visit I determined that there are two drainage features on the property to which the
Neuse River Riparian Buffer Rule would apply. The first stream (stream A) forms in the large
draw located in the center of the property as indicated on the topography plat that you sent in.
The Neuse River Riparian Buffer Rule jurisdiction would begin at the eastern most (up stream) S
& EC flagging.
The second stream (stream B) to which the Neuse River Riparian Buffer Rule would apply is the
tributary that comes in from the southern property line in the other draw shown on the plat. The
jurisdictional point is indicated by orange flagging hung approximately 150 feet upstream from
the confluence. The flagging at both jurisdictional points was signed DWQ NBR and the date.
From these points downstream there is a 50 foot wide protected, riparian buffer as defined by
15A NCAC 213.0233. Both streams show up on the Wake County soil survey maps as tributaries
to Pots Branch.
There are also wetland areas along stream A at the headwaters, just above the confluence of the
two tributaries, and near the pump station. There also appears to be some smaller areas of
wetlands along headwaters of stream B. I would recommend that you have wetland areas on the
tract delineated prior to designing development plans for the property.
If you have any questions concerning this matter please contact me 919-733-1786.
Sincerely:
Peter B. Colwell
