Yes, Durham is holding up the project because they need a NC DWO Letter/Map showing the point where
Neuse River Buffers must be applied. It was my understanding that this had taken place and I observed fla s ig n the
field at the location that the DWO was requiring buffers. The Coros has verified the site and concurred with the
DWO flags that were located at an apparent nick point (groundwater discharge point). The Corps has already deemed
the area up gradient of the flags as ephemeraUnon jurisdictional. The Corps and DWO have already issued permits
for the site. The purpose of the request is to satisfy Durham so that the project can proceed and will not have further
delay.
