The Division of Water Resources has determined that the streams listed above and included on the attached map have been
located on page of the most recent published NRCS Soil Survey of Greene County, North Carolina and/or the most recent copy
of the Snow Hill USGS Topographic map at a 1:24,000 scale and evaluated for applicability to the Neuse Riparian Buffer Rule.

man-made in nature. 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.

a determination made by the DWR may request a determination by the Director. An appeal request must be made within
sixty (60) calendar days of date of this letter to the Director in writing.
