Dear Mr. Ward and Mrs. Schoepf-Ward:

Subject: Buffer Determination Letter
NBRRO #21-334
Wake County
On October 13, 2021, Alys Hannum of the Division of Water Resources (DWR) Raleigh Regional Office
conducted an on -site review of the features located on the 3500 Willow Bluff Dr. property at the request
of Mike Um, to determine the applicability of features on the site to the Neuse River Riparian Area
Protection Rules, Title 15A North Carolina Administrative Code 02B .0714.
The enclosed map(s) depict the features evaluated, and this information is also summarized in the table
below. Features were evaluated for subjectivity to the Neuse River Riparian Buffer Rules. Features that
are identified as "Subject" have been located on either the most recent published NRCS Soil Survey of
Wake County, North Carolina and/or the most recent copy of the USGS Topographic map (at 1:24,000
scale), have been located on the ground, and possess characteristics that qualify them to be at least
intermittent streams. Features that are identified "Not Subject" are not located on either of the required
maps, have been determined to not be at least intermittent, or are not present on the property.
There may be other streams or features located on the property that may be considered
jurisdictional according to the US Army Corps of Engineers and therefore subject to the Clean
Water Act. This project may require a Section 404/401 Permit for proposed activity within buffers
or within waters of the state. Any inquiries should be directed to the US Army Corp of Engineers
(Raleigh Regulatory Field Office) at (919)-554-4884.

Expiration of Acceptance: 1/1/2023
Project: J & G TRANSMOGRIFY HOMES (WILLOW BLUFF) County: Wake
The purpose of this letter is to notify you that the NCDEQ Division of Mitigation Services (DMS) is willing to
accept payment for compensatory mitigation for impacts associated with the above referenced project as
indicated in the table below. Please note that this decision does not assure that participation in the DMS in -
lieu fee mitigation program will be approved by the permit issuing agencies as mitigation for project impacts.
It is the responsibility of the applicant to contact permitting agencies to determine if payment to the DMS will
be approved. You must also comply with all other state, federal or local government permits, regulations or
authorizations associated with the proposed activity including G.S. § 143-214.11.
This acceptance is valid for six months from the date of this letter and is not transferable. If we have not
received a copy of the issued 404 Permit/401 Certification within this time frame, this acceptance will
expire. It is the applicant's responsibility to send copies of the permits to DMS. Once DMS receives a copy
of the permit(s) an invoice will be issued based on the required mitigation in that permit and payment must
be made prior to conducting the authorized work. The amount of the in -lieu fee to be paid by an applicant is
calculated based upon the Fee Schedule and policies listed on the DMS website.
Based on the information supplied by you in your request to use the DMS, the impacts for which you are
requesting compensatory mitigation credit are summarized in the following table. The amount of mitigation
required and assigned to DMS for this impact is determined by permitting agencies and may exceed the
impact amounts shown below.
