October 31, 2014. This on -site determination supersedes the determination issued on July 28, 2014. The
project is located on the northeast intersection of Hill Loop Road and NC Highway 13 near the Town of

At your request, Mr. Scarbraugh conducted on -site determinations as stated above. During his review, he
evaluated the streams using the DWR Stream Classification Form. He evaluated the stream reach 14 -0597

0597 B at 35.44151 N, 77.86405 W and calculated the score to be 16.5 points. The form states that if the
score is "greater than or equal to 19 points the stream is at least intermittent."

on the attached maps, and highlighted in blue is subject to the Neuse Buffer Rules. The portion of the
feature labeled as "14 -0597 A" and highlighted in red and circled on the attached maps, is not subject to
