pond connected to a stream feature, or the feature is determined not to be present. Stream features that are checked
"Subject" have been located on the property and possess characteristics that qualify it to be subject to the buffer
rules. There may be other streams located on the property that do not show up on the maps referenced above and are
therefore not subject to the buffer rules. However, if the stream features are present on the tract they are subject to
all other applicable North Carolina stream standards and permitting requirements as outlined in 15A NCAC 02B and
may be considered jurisdictional according to the US Army Corps of Engineers.

parties that dispute a determination made by the DWR may request a determination by the Director. An
appeal request must be made within sixty (60) days of date of this letter. A request for a determination by the
