Dear Mr. Green:
On July 10, 2014, at the request of your consultant Mr. Cory Darnell of ECS Carolinas, LLP, Anthony
Scarbraugh conducted an on -site determination to review unnamed tributary (UT) to Flat Swamp located
on the subject property for applicability to the Tar - Pamlico Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 2B .0259). The feature
is labeled as "14- 0638" on the attached map initialed by Mr. Scarbraugh on July 23, 2014. The project is
located at 1800 Claude Green Road near the Town of Robersonville, Martin 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 14 -0638 at
35.83463 N, 77.26184 W and calculated the score to be 22 points. The form states that if the score is
"greater than or equal to 19 points the stream is at least intermittent."
The Division of Water Resources (DWR) has determined that a portion of feature labeled as "14 -0638 on
the attached map, and highlighted in blue is subject to the Tar - Pamlico 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.
