Dear Mr. Knowles:
On May 2, 2014, at your request, Mr. Roberto Scheller of this Office conducted an on -site determination of drainage
features located on the subject property. The drainages were reviewed for applicability to the Tar - Pamlico Buffer Rules
in accordance with (15A NCAC 2B .0259). The features are labeled as "S 1, S 2, S 3, S 4" on the attached maps and
initialed on May 5, 2014.
The Division of Water Resources (DWR) has determined that the features labeled as "S 1, S 3, and S 4" on the attached
maps and highlighted in red are not subject to the Tar - Pamlico Buffer Rules. The feature labeled as "S 2" on the
attached maps and highlighted in blue is subject to the Tar - Pamlico Buffer Rules. The stream determinations are as
illustrated on the attached maps and marked on the ground with yellow DWQ flagging.
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. Landowners or affected parties that dispute a determination made by the DWR or Delegated Local Authority that

a determination by the Director shall be referred to the Director in writing c/o Karen Higgins, 1650 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, NC 27699 -1650. Individuals that dispute a determination by the DWR or Delegated Local Authority that
"exempts" a surface water from the buffer rule may ask for an adjudicatory hearing. You must act within 60 days of the
date that you receive this letter. Applicants are hereby notified that the 60 -day statutory appeal time does not start
