UT to Horse Branch, Neuse River Basin
On -Site Determination for Applicability to the Neuse River Riparian Area Protection Rules (15A NCAC 2B
.0233)
Dear Ms. Barwick:
On December 31, 2013, at request of your consultant Mr. Walter Cole of S &ME, Inc., Anthony
Scarbraugh conducted an on -site determination to review unnamed tributary (UT) to Horse Branch
located on the subject property for applicability to the Neuse Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 213 .0233). The
feature is labeled as "13- 1307" on the attached maps initialed by Mr. Scarbraugh on January 3, 2014.
The project is located at 3151 S US Highway 13 in Grantham, Wayne County.
At your request, Mr. Scarbraugh conducted on -site determination as stated above. During his review,
he evaluated the stream using the DWR Stream Classification Form. He evaluated the stream reach 13-
1307 at N 35.29425, W 77.15223 and calculated the score to be 21.25 points. The form states that if the
score is "greater than or equal to 19 points the stream is at least intermittent."
The DWR has determined that the portion of the feature labeled as "13 -1307' on the attached maps,
and highlighted in blue is subject to the Neuse Buffer Rules. The portion of feature labeled "13 -1307'
that is circled and highlighted in red is not subject to the Neuse Buffer Rules. The feature and its
associated buffers should be identified on any future plans for this property. The owner (or future
owners) should notify the DWR (and other relevant .agencies) of this decision in any future
correspondences concerning this property. This on -site determination shall expire five (5) years from
the date of this letter.
