Below is the attached summary from Patrick Baker about the ditches along Tebo Rd. we are wishing to
clean out in efforts to improve the overall drainage of the Tebo /County Line Rd. area.
`,Ditch #1 - Does NOT appear as a stream on the USGS topo map or the most recent version of the NRCS
soil survey map. Based on my interpretation of the Neuse Buffer Rules, because this ditch does not
appear as a stream on either of these maps it is NOT subject to the rules. Once it reaches the woods it
DOES appear as a stream, so I wouldn't go any further than the treeline without first having an on -site
determination completed by the NC Division of Water Resources or other individual approved to make
stream determinations. As far as wetlands are concerned, based on past conversations with the US Army
Corp of Engineers, it is our understanding that existing drainage ditches can be cleaned out to their
original debth and spoil place on the original spoil pile without any issues. Weyerhaeuser should be very
familiar with this issue since they clean out alot of existing ditches on their woodland now.
Ditch #2 - DOES appear on the NRCS soil survey map as a stream and a portion appears on the USGS
topo map as a stream. This means that this ditch MAY be subject to the Neuse Buffer rules and an onsite
determination by the NC Division of Water Resources or other authorized person is recommended before
any construction activities are completed. One other issue to consider is that the timber on this tract was
,.recently cut. It has been my experience that no reputable logger will cut timber along a potential stream
t without having a stream determination completed prior to harvest. 1 would recommend that the individual
you spoke to about the ditching speak to the Weyerhaeuser representative in charge of timber harvest
r' "operations and see if this ditch has already had a stream determination completed. Potential wetland
issues are the same as discussed above for ditch #1.
Ditch #3 - DOES appear on the USGS topo map as a stream and may be subject to the Buffer
Rule however, the timber on both sides of this ditch has also recently been clear cut meaning that it is
likely that this ditch was previously determined to not be subject to the buffer rule. Also, this ditch is very
straight which indicates that it is completely man -made. Man -made ditches are also not supossed to be
subject of the buffer rule unless they are modified natural streams. This ditch does not appear to be a
modified natural stream however I am not authorized to make that decision. Wetland issues are the same
as discussed above for ditch 1 & 2.
It appears to me that ditch #1 is free and clear to be cleaned out to the woods line however 1 recommend
a closer look into #2 & 3 and that an on -site determination be completed before construction activities if
one has not apready been done.

Our office would like to clean out the three identified ditches in coordination with Weyerhaeuser Co. to
improve the drainage in the surrounding area. This would involve removing debris and some vegetation if
necessary and grade work.
