Stream A: apped by Kimley-Horn
~ 25' outside of project corridor. It
appears that this stream was originally
mapped as Feature 2, but was relocated
during road construction.
Feature 2: NRCS mapped stream
on the south side of Infinity Road.
Feature not present within corridor.
Feature 1: NRCS mapped stream
on the south side of Latta Road.
Feature not present within corridor,
but begins at culvert outlet south
of Latta Road >100' south
of project corridor.

Notes: Stream SA is an intermittent stream with moderate baseflow. SA is
not deeply incised and is piped under a house and a road. No amphibians or
macrobenthos were observed in the stream. NOAA/NWS report no rain for
Durham within 48 hours of site visit.
