Dear Mr. & Mrs. Jackson,
This stream determination supersedes the previous stream determination that was issued on May 6, 2021. This determination corrects the
stream segment D12 which was wrongly marked as subject. The feature DJ2 is not subject because it's not located on the two maps identified.
The Division of Water Resources has determined that the streams listed as "subject" above and included on the attached map have been
located on the most recent published (1974) NRCS Soil Survey of Wayne County, North Carolina and/or the most recent copy of the Mt. Olive
USGS Topographic map at a 1:24,000 scale and evaluated for applicability to the Neuse Riparian Buffer Rules. For each stream that is checked
"Not Subject" it has been determined to not be at least intermittent, not present on the property or not represented on the most recent
published (1974) NRCS Soil Survey of Wayne County, North Carolina and/or the most recent copy of the Mt. Olive USGS Topographic map at a

1:24,000 scale. There may be other streams or features located on the property that were not assessed and/or 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.

This determination only addresses the applicability to the buffer rules and does not approve any activity within the buffers or
waters. The project may require a Section 404/401 Permit for the proposed activity. Any inquiries regarding applicability to the
Clean Water Act should be directed to the US Army Corps of Engineers Raleigh Regulatory Field Office at (919)-554-4884 Ext. 22.
