On June 6, 2000, I met with you at the subject property consisting of approximately 96 acres located east of
Ebenezer Church Road (SR 1647) and northeast of US Route 70 (Glenwood Avenue) excluding the
Carmax Property, Wake County. The purpose of this meeting was to determine the applicability of stream
features located on the property to the Neuse River Riparian Buffer Protection Regulations (15A NCAC 2B
.0233).
As a result of this meeting, in addition to information provided within your letter dated 6/9/00, it was
determined that the stream features indicated on the attached "Almo Property / S&EC Project No. 00 -5268"
map provided as an attachment to your letter dated 6/9/00 and initialed by me on 6/14/00 are subject to 15A
NCAC 2B .0233. The map indicates streams (CHA to CHD), including the approximate location of the
start of two streams (NRB 101 & NRB301), subject to the buffer regulations as confirmed and flagged in
the field on 6/14/00. This office recommends that these streams be properly located and identified prior to
any site design to ensure compliance with 15A NCAC 2B .0233.
This letter only addresses the applicability of 15A NCAC 2B .0233(3) and does not authorize any activity
within the protected buffers. 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 me at 733 -9726 or Mr. Steve
Mitchell at 571 -4700.

RE: Neuse River Basin Riparian Buffer Confirmation
Almo Property
Raleigh, Wake County, North Carolina
S&EC Project No.: 00-5268
Dear Bob:
We request written confirmation of the Neuse River Basin Riparian Buffer and channel
determination that you made on the Almo Property during our June 6, 2000 meeting on
site. The subject property consists of approximately 96 acres and is located east of.
Ebenezer Church Road (SR 1647) and-northeast of US Route 70 (Glenwood Avenue)
excluding the Cut= property. Figure 1 — Location Map depicts the location of the
property on the Bayleg NC USGS topographic quadrangle
Five individual channel features (CH A — E) are depicted on the son survey map, two of
which also appear on the USGS map. The property and the aforementioned channel
features aie shown on Figure 2— Wake Co. Son Survey Map.
• During the field meeting one stream feature was examined, and the buffer call at flag
- • NRB101 completed by S&EC was evaluated. The stream origin point was determined by
you to correspond with flag NRB101. The stream origin point of one other feature shown
on the soil survey occurs below where the end of the feature is mapped (Flag NRB301).
The start point of this feature was not evaluated during our site visit. The drainageway
above this stream origin point does not possess a bed and banlc, the bottom is covered
with pine needles, and facultative plants, such as Lycopodium clavatum and Vitis
rotundifolia, are growing in the bottom of the drainage way.:' Photographs 1, 2, and 3
were taken in sequence starting downstream at the stream origin point (Flag NRB301).
The 'remaining three features. on-site were not contested and therefore "determined by
S&EC as subject to the buffer rule. Figure 3 — Site Map shows the locations of the
channel features subject to buffer rule and flags NRB101 and NRB301. •

Please advise if we are still on for our June 12, 2000 meeting at 1 p.m. Additionally, it is
my understanding that you and Dave Penrose will make significance calls in the near
future and advise me of your findings if one of my staff or I cannot accompany you. If
you feel it is necessary, please confirm the stream origin point at flag NRB301 when you
conduct your significance calls. If the enclosed information is adequate for a
determination on buffers without additional site visits, please do so.
If you need additional information or have any questions, call me at (919) 846 -5900.
