The Division of Water Resources has determined that the streams listed in the table above and included on the attached map have been
located on page 28 of the most recent published (1974) NRCS Soil Survey of Wayne County, North Carolina and/or the most recent USGS
Topographic map at a 1:24,000 scale and evaluated for applicability to the Neuse Riparian Buffer Rule. Each feature that is checked "Not
Subject" and highlighted on the attached maps in "red" has been determined to be either man-made in nature, ephemeral, or not present on
the property. Features that are checked "Subject" and highlighted on the attached maps in "blue" have been located on the property and
possess characteristics that qualify them to be at least intermittent streams. There may be other streams or features located on the property
that do not appear on the maps referenced above but may be considered jurisdictional according to the US Army Corps of Engineers and
subject to the Clean Water Act.
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 the DWR may request a determination by the Director. An appeal request must be made within sixty (60) calendar
days of date of this letter to the Director in writing.
