Dear Mr. Mc Intyre:
I have reviewed the material sent to this on March 8, 2000. The features represented on the Wake County Boils and
the UBGc. maps were evaluated to determine their subjectivity to the Neuse Buffer We This specific project is
referenced by this Office as NBRRO 00-049.
It was determined that the there is a named creek (Poplar Creek), an unnamed tributary and a pond represented on
the maps that. are present on the ground and therefore subject to the Neuse River Basin: Nutrient Sensitive Waters
Management 8trategy; Protection and Maintenance of Existing Riparian Areas, Administrative Code T15A:025.0233
(NCAC 0233). It was determined that the feature that emanates from the pond becomes an intermitted stream, and
therefore subject to the Neuse River Basin: Nutrient Sensitive Waters Management Strategy; Protection and
Maintenance of Existing Riparian Areas, Administrative Code T15A:025.0233 (NCAC 0233) . These features are
delineated on the materials received

Re: Reply to the Division of Water Quality's December 17, 2003 letter
Rutledge Landing Subdivision
Knightdale, Wake County, North Carolina
Dear Mr. Domey:
This letter is in response to your letter dated December 17, 2003 (copy attached), which
requested additional information for the proposed Rutledge Landing Subdivision. The
following restates your questions as shown on your letter and then provides our response.
1. Stream Feature on Inset A
You are proposing to pipe and fill over 400 feet of surface water depicted as a
"stream " on your `Inset A " impact map. It appears that the feature is shown as
an intermittent stream on the Wake County Soil Survey. The DWQ Raleigh
Regional Office staff have informed the DWQ Wetlands /Unit staff that this stream
was not evaluated during their March 8, 2000 on -site determination. Please
contact Mr. Steve Mitchell with the Raleigh regional Office to request an on -site
determination of this stream feature as to its subjectivity to the Neuse Buffer Rule.
Although S &EC did not conduct the buffer determination field meeting or do any of
the fieldwork, a buffer determination was conducted on site. Mr. Steve Mitchell of
the Raleigh Regional Office met with Mr. Mac McIntyre on March 8, 2000. The
results of that meeting are discussed in the attached letter from Mr. Mitchell and
shown on the attached map. Both the letter and the map were provided to me by Mr.
McIntyre and were referenced in the original cover letter for the PCN. According to
Mr. McIntyre the feature in question was evaluated and determined not to be subject
to the buffer rules.

2. Avoidance /Minimization
If the stream is not determined to be subject to the Neuse Buffer Rules, then please
provide additional justification as to why there is no practical alternative to avoid
or minimize the proposed impacts.
Please see the attached response from Mr. McIntyre. In brief, the road crossing is
required to provide an outlet for the northern section of the subdivision. The location
of this crossing is being determined by the location of the existing road stub within
the existing portion of Rutledge Landing. Also, according to Mr. McIntyre Wake
County and the Town of Knightdale have already approved this plan. Except for
culverted driveway crossings the intermittent stream is being avoided within the
individual lots (i.e. no lot fill)
Please call if you have any questions or require further explanation.
Sincerely,
Sean Clark
