Ms. Patricia Smith Hinnant,
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 web based Digital USGS National
Topographic Map https://apps.nationalmap.gov/viewer/ and evaluated for applicability to the Neuse River Basin Riparian Buffer Rules (15A
NCAC 02B .0714). For each stream that is checked "Not Subject" it has been determined to not be at least intermittent, not present on the
property, a wetland area or not represented on the most recent published (1974) NRCS Soil Survey of Wayne County, North Carolina and/or the
Digital USGS National Topographic Map at a scale of 1:24,000 or less. 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.
