Dear Mr. Harbour:
On April 18, 2000, I met with you to discuss the above referenced project. This project is referenced
by the Raleigh Regional Office as NBRRO 00 -127. The features represented on the Johnston
County Soils and the USGS Edmonson Quad maps were evaluated to determine their subjectivity
to the Neuse Buffer Rule. The feature represented on both maps is a creek and as such is subject to
protection under the Neuse River Basin: Nutrient Sensitive Waters Management Strategy; Protection
and Maintenance of Existing Riparian Areas, Administrative Code T15A:02B.0233 (NCAC 0233).
The pond is depicted on both maps is isolated from the subject body of water (the unnamed
tributary). Therefore, the Neuse Buffer Rules do not apply to the pond. The appropriated buffer
needs to be delineated on the plat map to insure that the substation will not impact the buffer along
the creek.
This letter addresses only the applicability of the Neuse Riparian Buffer Rule. For information
relevant to wetland impacts, please contact the Wetland/401 Unit at 733 -1786. Thank you for your
attention to this matter and if this Office can be of any assistance or if you have additional questions,
please do not hesitate to contact us.
Sincerely,
Steve Mitchell

RE: CP &L /Johnston Co. Site
Dear Mr. Mitchell:
pl
APR 2 Q 2000
DEHNR RALEIGH REGIONAL OFFICE i
Thank you for visiting the CP &L site in Johnston County on April 18. The purpose of
our meeting was to determine if an onsite pond would be subject to the Neuse Buffer
Rule. The USGS quad for the area depicts an intermittent stream flowing from the pond;
however, upon inspection it was agreed that the stream was incorrectly mapped.
Therefore, the pond is not subject to the Neuse Buffer Rule. ESI is requesting a brief
letter from you regarding this issue. I have enclosed a copy of the site survey as you
requested. Please do not hesitate to call me if you have any questions or comments
regarding this project. Thank you for your assistance with this matter.
Sincerely,
