Mr. Singer,

The Division of Water Resources has determined that the stream(s) listed as “subject” above and included on the attached map have been
located on the most recent published (1974) NRCS Soil Survey of Pitt County, North Carolina and/or the web based Digital USGS National
Topographic Map https://apps.nationalmap.gov/viewer/ and evaluated for applicability to the Tar-Pamlico River Riparian Buffer Rules (15A
NCAC 02B .0734) . For each stream that is checked “Not Subject” it has been determined to not be at least intermittent, not present on the
property, a dug ditch or not represented on the most recent published (1974) NRCS Soil Survey of Pitt County, North Carolina and/or the Digital
USGS National Topographic Map at a scale of 1:24,000 or less. There may be other streams or features located on the property that were not
assessed and/or that do not appear on the maps referenced above but may be considered jurisdictional according to the US Army Corps of
Engineers and subject to the Clean Water Act.

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 may request a determination by the Director. An appeal request must be made within sixty (60) calendar
days of date of this letter to the Director in writing.

This determination only addresses the applicability to the buffer rules and does not approve any activity within the buffers or
waters. The project may require a Section 404/401 Permit for the proposed activity. Any inquiries regarding applicability to the
Clean Water Act should be directed to the US Army Corps of Engineers Washington Regulatory Field Office at 2407 W 5th St,
