On-Site Determination for the presence of streams
Dear Ms. Crossen:
On Apri13, 2007, at your request I and Eric Kulz conducted an on-site determination to review
three stream channels located on the subject property to determine the presence of streams. The
channels are labeled as "A, B and C" on the attached map initialed by me on Apri13, 2007.
At your request, Iconducted an on-site determination as stated above. During my review, we
evaluated stream A using the DWQ Stream Classification Form. We evaluated the stream reach
at your property line and calculated the score to be 28.25 points. The form states that if the score
is "greater than or equal to 19 points the stream is at least intermittent". During my review, we
evaluated stream B using the DWQ Stream Classification Form. We evaluated the stream reach
at and above your property line and calculated the score to be 14.75 points. The form states that
if the score is "greater than or equal to 19 points the stream is at least intermittent". During my
review, we evaluated stream C using the DWQ Stream Classification Form. We evaluated the
stream reach at and above your property line and calculated the score to be 16.25 points. The
form states that if the score is "greater than or equal to 19 points the stream is at least
intermittent". Copies of the stream evaluation forms are attached.
Therefore, the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) has determined that the surface water
labeled as "A" on the attached map is an intermittent stream; "B" is an ephemeral stream
and "C" is also an ephemeral stream. This on-site determination shall expire five (5) years
from the date of this letter.
