Mr and Mrs. Kuszyk (Brian/Cara), I apologize for the delay in e-mail ing/following up with you after our site visit to your property, but please find attached the electronic documentation regarding the stream being subject to the Tar -Pamlico Riparian Buffer Rules. I've cc'ed Emily Thompson with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, so that you'll have her contact information, as constructing the pond, if allowable, may also require permitting from her (federal) agency. I've tried to do a little bit of background digging to see if there's any evidence on our end if the pond had previously existed (but haven't found anything so far), because as we discussed while on -site, if there is documentation that a pond was previously existing (in addition to what appears visually to be a breached dam structure as seen on -site), that history would make it potentially easier to get the "rebuilt" pond permitted than, for example, an entirely new pond. If you've been able to find any of that kind of information, please feel free to pass it along, as it will help with any discussions about permitting and what other requirements there might be. Thanks also for your patience, I'm continuing also to search for historic evidence of the pond (as the dam suggests that there was something there), and if there's any questions you have, please let me know.
