I recently completed an examination of the Molnar tract located off Highway 304
in Maribel. This cutover woodland site is in compliance with the "Forest
Practices Guidelines Related to Water Quality" (FPGs). The site is not in
compliance with the Neuse Temporary Rule (NTR); reference the enclosed
information on the NTR.
The Division of Water Quality handles non-compliance with the NTR. I have
referred this project to them. Your contact person will be Debra Sawyer out the
Washington Regional Office.
Site Observations
This is a recently clearcut harvested 20 year old pine plantation on a Yonges site,
Site Index 105, base age 50, for loblolly pine. The site is almost completely
surrounded by marsh adjacent to Chapel and Whitehurst Creek. The timber was
harvested right up to the marsh, particularly furthest south. The actual stream
channel is not far from the marsh.
According to the Neuse Temporary Rule; for surface waters within the 20 Coastal
Counties within the jurisdiction of the Division of Coastal Management, Zone 1
shall begin at the most landward limit of the normal high water level, the normal
water level, or the landward limit of the coastal wetlands (the marsh), as defined
by the Division of Coastal Management and extend landward a distance of 30
feet, measured horizontally on a line perpendicular to the surface water. You
must measure where the marsh grass begins. Most of this site was clearcut
Ic s-1111
arvested within 15 feet of the marsh.

In the future, it is very important that you retain the required riparian area buffer along the marsh
as well as the "blue line" drainage and streams that show up on the USGS 1:24,000, 7.5 minute
quadrangle topographic map or the county soil survey. Feel free to stop by any of our county or
district offices to reference these maps. Make sure you check both maps.
I hope you will call if you have any questions or comments concerning our observations or
recommendations.
