On-Site Stream Intermittent/Perennial Determination-EXPRESS REVIEW PROGRAM
On Apri120, 2007, at the request of from Jason Payne of S&EC, PA, an on-site determination was conducted to
review eight stream features located on the subject property to determine their intermittent/perennial status. The
features are labeled as "A" through "J" on the attached map, initialed by Lia Myott on April 26, 2007. The
Division of Water Quality (DWQ) has determined that the following:
• Feature "A" is an intermittent stream at the flag labeled "A1" which corresponds with the S&EC flag
"232". The intermittenbperennial point is located at the flag labeled "A2" which corresponds with the
S&EC flag "S 15".
• Feature "B" is an uncontested perennial stream on the property.
• Feature "C" is an intermittent stream at the flag labeled "C1"which corresponds with the S&EC flag
"118". This stream rated a "24.5" on the NCDWQ Stream Identification Form. The intermittent/perennial
point is located at the flag labeled "C2" which corresponds with the S&EC flag "129".
• Feature "D" is an uncontested perennial stream beginning at the S&EC flag labeled "SOS".
• Feature "E" is an intermittent stream that sporadically transitions from intermittent to a few times before
becoming perennial. The stream is intermittent from the S&EC flag labeled "104" to "102"and from the
S&EC flag labeled "E 13" to "E17" (this portion of the stream rated a "20.75" on the NCDWQ Stream
Identification Form.) and from the DWQ flag labeled "E-2" to "E-3" and from the DWQ flag labeled "E-
4" (which corresponds to the S&EC flag labeled "S03") to "E-5". The feature becomes a perennial
stream at flag "E-5".
• Feature "F" at the flag labeled "F1" which corresponds with the S&EC flag "100 CL 2"'. This stream
rated a " 25" on the NCDWQ Stream Identification Form. The intermittentlperennial point is located at the
flag labeled "F2" which corresponds with the S&EC flag "SO1 ".
• Feature "G" is an intermittent stream that sporadically transitions from stream to wetland. The'sfream is
intermittent from the S&EC flag labeled "S08" to "S09"and from the S&EC flag labeled "S 10" to the
DWQ flag labeled "G3" which is located approximately 30ft downstream of the S&EC flag labeled
"S 11 ". The feature again transitions to an intermittent stream from the S&EC flag labeled "S 12" to "S 13"
(DWQ G2) then becomes an intermittent stream again further downstream at DWQ flag "G1".
• Feature "H" is an intermittent stream at the S&EC flag labeled "S07".
• Feature "I" is an intermittent stream from S&EC flag "212" (DWQ I1) to its confluence with the
perennial stream feature A.
• Feature "J" is an intermittent stream beginning at the S&EC flag labeled "223" (DWQ J1).
This on-site determination shall expire five (5) years from the date of this letter.
