Hi Jeff,
At the site visit we also discussed that you would provide some construction details regarding the sewer crossing. I will
place the application on hold until we receive that and until you confirm whether there will be any additional impacts to
the small wetland adjacent to the crossing location.
I'm attaching a stream determination letter and copying Josh Johnson for local government documenting the buffer
determination I made on Stream SC.

Chris,
I have attached the updated PJD document to include the minor changes from last week. Thanks again for a productive
and efficient site visit. I have asked the engineer to look at the small wetland we added near the crossing to see if it
would be affected. If so, I will send an updated permit drawing and any impact data. Please let me know if you have
any questions.
Have a good weekend.

Thanks, Jeff:
The Agent Authorization Form specifies tracts 152456 and 152443. The access you propose would traverse 152472. We
are glad to first meet where you propose, but unless the form can be updated, Casey and I will wait by the vehicles until
we can relocate to the cul-de-sac on Atlas Drive. We'll view the crossing from 152456.
We have another site visit after this and are eyeing the weather tomorrow. We're also interested in being as expedient
as possible tomorrow.

I would recommend that we initially meet at the following coordinates: 36.0544,-79.3430
This will get us to the sewer crossing location much faster and from there we can see the other few items that were
delineation. This is also land is owned by the Scotts and we have permission through the agent authorization.
Then if you wanted to g arou8nd to the other side then we can. I only have 3 hours tops to be onsite tomorrow so we
need to make it as efficient as possible. See you all at 10am

Good Morning, Everyone:
I'm writing to confirm tomorrow's site visit at 10 am for Riley's Meadow, and to firm up a meeting location. It appears
the cul-de-sac immediately west of the site provides the most direct access (36.049041-79.347902). Does this sound like
a good spot to meet, or did you have somewhere else in mind Jeff? If this has already been shared, my apologies for the
oversight.
They're calling for rain, but through the morning and early afternoon the amounts are very low (0.03 in./hr).
Thanks!

Josh,
We did not request a determination from Sue and just submitted the PCN for the 401 WQC. The soils map makes it
extremely hard to ID mapped features as you can see. The main stream along the north boundary is buffered and the
mapped feature along the east side has an origin point just inside the site. We will look at it with Sue next week
Sue, I do think the original soil map I sent with the PCN is incorrect. This one should be accurate

Good Morning Jeff,
We can (and will) accept Sue's field determination or you can coordinate directly with us on the field work. I've
copied Phil Ross onto this email if you need to coordinate the field work. A first step in that would be to
submit a copy of the package that you submitted to DWR. For the actual buffer authorization, you'll need to
complete the attached authorization application and include with it the appropriate exhibits and the field
determination from Sue.
Thanks

Hi Jeff,
On another note, the Jordan Lake Riparian Buffer rules are delegated to the local municipalities to implement, therefore
my review and final decision will not include the impacts you listed on the PCN for the riparian buffers. Those will have
to be applied for and approved by the Town. I'm copying Josh Johnson with Alley, Williams, Carmen and King who is
contracted by the Town to handle their buffer program. See you in a couple weeks.

Chris,
By "application" are you referring to a PJD request? If so, I can put together and get it to you asap. 10am on the 11t" is
good.

Thanks, Jeff:
You are correct that a PJD doesn't have to be issued to secure a permit, but in my system I first have to identify a feature
as subject to 404 before I can authorize impacts to it. All stream lengths/widths/permanence/names and wetland
areas/types/etc. need to be recorded. If an application was prepared, please send it along so I can establish my
jurisdiction to issue a permit.
It sounds like the 11t" of February is a common date — lets aim for 10am?

I am open the 11t". The delineation was straight forward with no problem areas. Therefore I didn't submit a PJD
request since its not a requirement for the application. The one main stream is the only mapped and buffered feature
that we encountered onsite. No features that we are asking for a buffer exemption on. Let me know what time and
we'll set it up.

Thanks

Thanks for the agent authorization form, Jeff:
You mention in the application that areas have been delineated but no verification has been performed. I looked
through my files but I don't see an application pending for this site. Has one been submitted (I've only had Alamance
County for about a year so it's possible I need to retrieve that from someone else)?
I'd like to set up a site visit for this if possible. At the moment I have February 5, 10, and 11 open. I have cc'd Sue
Homewood to check her availability as well. The local governments often request a staff member participate due to
their riparian buffer program (as an FYI).

Subject: On-Site Determination for Applicability to the 401 Certification Mitigation Rules (15A NCAC
02B .0506(c))

Subject Property: Riley’s Meadow SD, 1822 Cherry Lane, Haw River NC, Alamance County

Dear Mr. Harbour:

On February 11, 2021, I conducted an on-site determination with you to review features located on the
subject project for stream determinations with regards to the above noted state regulations. Chris
Hopper and Casey Haywood with the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) were also present during the
site visit.

The Division acknowledges any and all areas and boundaries identified as jurisdictional wetlands by the
USACE. The attached initialed and dated sketch accurately depicts all Division stream determinations
conducted during the site visit.

At the time of this letter, all perennial stream channels and jurisdictional wetlands found on the
property are subject to the mitigation rules cited above. In addition, the Jordan Lake Buffer Rules may
apply to some streams at this location, please be sure to contact the local government for further
information regarding the Jordan Lake Buffer Rules. Please note that these regulations may be subject
to change in the future.

This on-site determination shall expire five (5) years from the date of this letter. The owner (or future
owners) should notify the Division (and other relevant agencies) of this decision in any future
correspondences concerning this property. Landowners or affected parties that dispute this
determination made by the Division may request a determination by the Director of Water Resources.
This determination is final and binding, unless an appeal request is made within sixty (60) calendar days
of the date of this letter to the Director in writing.
