Project Name: Jordan Lake Buffer Confirmation Parcel # 11430

Location: Rhone Lane

Subject
Features: Two (2) Intermittent Streams

Dear Ms. Hamlin,

Based on information which you provided on the Riparian Buffer Review Application, staff within the
Watershed Protection Department completed a Riparian Buffer Review in accordance with Chatham County
Watershed Protection Ordinance Section 304(B) Field Delineations and the Jordan Buffer Rules (15A NCAC
02B .0267). This Riparian Buffer Review was completed for an existing property that is identified as Parcel#
11430 that is located inside of the Jordan Lake watershed. A stream confirmation was requested due to the
depiction of one (1) stream on the NRCS Soil Survey Map.

At this time, the property is only subject to the 1994 Chatham County Watershed Protection Ordinance and
the Jordan Lake Buffer Rules. The 1994 Chatham County Watershed Protection Ordinance places a 50-ft
buffer on all streams mapped on the USGS topographic map and a 100-ft buffer on all “rivers” and along all
perennial and intermittent streams within 2,500-ft thereof. The Jordan Lake Buffer Rules place a 50-ft buffer
on all intermittent and perennial streams that are shown on either the USGS topographic or NRCS Soil
Survey maps.

Summary of Findings
The site visit was completed on February 3, 2020, by Drew Blake with the Chatham County Watershed
Protection Department and Kim Hamlin, Sage Ecological Services, Inc. (Sage). Sage personnel completed a
previous site visit which resulted in the identification of one (1) ephemeral segment, two (1) intermittent
segments, and two (2) potential wetlands on the property. Sage submitted a request for Chatham County to
complete a formal review to determine if the features would be subject to riparian buffers according to the
Jordan Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 02B .0267). All points of origin, stream type transitions, and wetland
boundaries were reviewed in the field. No revisions to the findings of Sage were made by Chatham County.

Required Riparian Buffers:
Intermittent streams, A & B, will require a 50-ft buffer from the top of bank landward on both sides of the
feature. The ephemeral stream and wetlands WA-1 and WA-2 will not require riparian buffers at this time.

Any future modifications to the property boundaries (i.e. Subdivision) will require additional reviews
from the Chatham County Watershed Protection Department. These reviews may result in the
identification of additional features that require buffers or an increase in the buffer width of features
found during this review.

Proposed Buffer Impacts:
Submittal of a No Practical Alternatives Authorization Application, in accordance with the Jordan Buffer
Rules (15A NCAC 02B .0267 (11)), must occur if this project results in impacts to riparian buffers. No
Practical Alternatives Authorization Applications must be submitted to the Chatham County Watershed
Protection Department. Based on survey stakes in the field the proposed driveway location may potentially
result in parallel impacts to the riparian buffers. If so, I recommend a realignment of the proposed driveway
as all stream and riparian buffer crossings must be perpendicular to the stream feature.

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 Chatham County, on parcels outside of the Jordan Lake
watershed, may submit a request for appeal in writing to the Watershed Review Board. A request for a
determination by the Watershed Review Board shall be made in accordance with Section 304 of the Chatham
County Watershed Protection Ordinance. Landowners or affected parties that dispute a determination made
by Chatham County, on parcels inside the Jordan Lake watershed, shall submit a request for appeal in writing
to NC DWR, 401 & Buffer Permitting Unit, 1650 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27669-1650 attention of
the Director of the NC Division of Water Quality.

Should this project result in any direct impacts to surface water features (i.e., crossing and/or filling streams
or wetlands) additional reviews may be necessary. Additionally, a Section 404/401 Permit may be required.
Any inquiries regarding Section 404/401 permitting should be directed to the Division of Water Resources
(Central Office) at (919)-807-6364 and the US Army Corp of Engineers (Raleigh Regulatory Field Office) at
(919)-554-4884.
