Subject: On -Site Determination for Applicability to the Neuse Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 02B .0233)
Project Name: Banished Bull
Address / Location: Adjacent to 4211 Schley Rd, Rougemont, NC
Determination Date: January 28, 2020
Dear Mr. Herrmann:
Staff: Niki Maher
On January 28, 2020, Niki Maher of the Division of Water Resources conducted an on -site review of
features located on the subject property at the request of Watershed Investments NC, LLC to
determine the applicability to the Neuse Riparian Area Protection Rules (15A NCAC 02B .0233).
The enclosed map(s) depict the feature(s) evaluated. This information is also summarized in the
table below. Streams that are considered "Subject" have been located on the most recently
published MRCS Soil Survey of Orange County and/or the most recent copy of the USGS Topographic
(at 1:24,000 scale) map(s), have been located on the ground at the site, and possess characteristics
that qualify them to be at least intermittent streams. Features that are considered "Not Subject"
have been determined to not be at least intermittent or not present on the property or not
depicted on the required maps.
This determination only addresses the applicability to the buffer rules and does not approve any
activity within buffers or within waters of the state. There may be other streams or features
located on the property that do not appear on the maps referenced above. Any of the features
on the site may be considered jurisdictional according to the US Army Corps of Engineers and
subject to the Clean Water Act.
The following table addresses the features rated during the DWR site visit:
