Creed, P.A. dated: February 2007.
"A portion of this lot has been determined to meet the requirements for designation as a wetland,
stream or protected stream buffer. Any subsequent fill or alteration of this area shall conform to
the requirements of the state rules adopted by the State of North Carolina in force at the time of
