The Division of Water Resources has determined that the streams listed above and included on the attached map have been
located on page 12 of the most recent published (1977) NRCS Soil Survey of Pitt County, North Carolina and/or the most recent
copy of the Grifton USGS Topographic map at a 1:24,000 scale and evaluated for applicability to the Neuse Riparian Buffer Rule.
Each stream that is checked "Not Subject" has been determined to not be at least intermittent or not present on the property.
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.
This on -site determination shall expire five (5) years from the date of this letter. Landowners or affected 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) calendar days of date of this letter to the Director in writing.
