On August 6, 2014, at the request of your consultant Mr. Cory Darnell of ECS Carolinas, LLP, Anthony
Scarbraugh conducted on -site determinations to review unnamed tributaries (Uts) to Deep Creek located
on the subject property to determine if the features would be considered streams using the NC Division of
Water Resources Stream Classification Form. The features are labeled as "14 -0604 A and 14 -0604 B" on the
attached maps initialed by Mr. Scarbraugh on August 13, 2014. The project is located to the southeast of
Pops Lane and NC Highway 45 SE near the Town of Ahoskie, Hertford County.
The Division of Water Resources (DWR) has determined that a portion of features labeled as "14 -0604 A,
and 14 -0604 B" on the attached maps, and highlighted in red are not considered streams. The feature
"14 -0604 A" begins on -site at approximately 36.36159 N, 76.91548 and continues until a junction with
feature "14 -0604 B" The feature labeled as "14 -0604 B" starts onsite at approximately 36.35938 N,
77.91431 W and continues to the northeast offsite.
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. Landowners or affected parties that dispute a determination made by the DWR
or Delegated Local Authority that a surface water exists may request a determination by the Director. A
request for a determination by the Director shall be referred to the Director in writing c/o Karen Higgins,
DWR 401 & Buffer Permitting Unit, 1617 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699 -1650. Individuals that

Applicants are hereby notified that the 60 -day statutory appeal time does not start until the affected party
(including downstream and adjacent landowners) is notified of this decision. DWR recommends that the
