* There are discrepancies between named features on the USGS maps and NCDWQ records
** Feature SA was determined to be part of the surrounding wetland and will require mitigation as a stream
Feature SA was determined to be part of the surrounding wetland feature rather than an individual stream feature
and therefore will not require mitigation as a stream
In addition to the dramage features shown above wetland areas WI WM WO Complex and WR Complex were
visited and determined to be isolated and will be claimed by the NCDWQ as Jurisdictional and mitigable Wetland
