On May 2, 2010, at your request and in your attendance, Amy Euliss, NC Division of Water Quality
(NCDWQ) staff along Andy Williams, USACE, conducted an on-site determination to review drainage
features located at Bridge No. 126 on NC 87 in Alamance County for applicability to the Jordan Lake

Please note that no other features at the site were evaluated. Also, this letter only addresses
applicability to the Jordan Buffer Rules at the site specifically marked on the attached map and
does not apply to reaches of the channel [or drainage feature] further downstream from the
NCDOT project area, or to any other drainage features in the vicinity.
This letter only addresses the applicability to the mitigation rules and the buffer rules and does not
approve any activity within the buffer, Waters of the United States, or Waters of the State. Any impacts
to wetlands, streams and buffers must comply with the Jordan Buffer Rules, 404/401 regulations, water
supply regulations (15A NCAC 2B .0216), and any other required federal, state and local regulations.
Please be aware that even if no direct impacts are proposed to the protected buffers, sheet flow of all new
stormwater runoff as per ISA NCAC 2B .0267 is required.
