Notes: Stream SA is a stormwater driven channel with groundwater interception. SA beains aooroximately 60' northeast of a larae 60" CMP and the origin of SA. The outlet structure appears to join a 36" RCP heading to a stormwater basin, with high flow events bypassing the RCP and discharging to the dissipater pad. The RCP is blocked by debris however, and all flow from the 60" CMP is discharging to SA. Based on debris piles and wrack lines in the trees, SA reaches very high flood stages on a regular basis.

The channel crosses the sewer easement, and within the easement the banks are approximately 8 -10' higher than the water surface. After the easement, SE drops approximately 10' through a series of step pools to meet the Tar River elevation. Stream SD joins SE north of the easement before SE traverses more step pools and ultimately flows into the Tar River. Upstream of the easement bank depths are 15 -20' deep and 30' wide.

Skvarla, III Secretary DWQ # 12 -1055 Pitt County On -Site Determination for Applicability to the Tar - Pamlico River Riparian Area Protection Rules (15A NCAC 2B.0259) Dear Ms. Reed: On January 28, 2013 at your request, Roberto Scheller of this Office conducted an on -site determination to review a drainage feature located on the subject property for applicability to the Tar - Pamlico Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 2B .0259). The features reviewed are labeled as "SA, SB, SC, SD, and SE" on the attached maps and initialed by me on January 28, 2013. The Division of Water Quality (DWQ) has determined that the features labeled as "SA, SB, SC, SD" on the attached maps, and highlighted in red are not subject to the Tar Pamlico Buffer Rules. It has been determined that the stream features, are not represented on the NRCS Pitt County Soils map or the USGS Topographic map and therefore riparian buffers are not applicable to these features. The Division of Water Quality (DWQ) has determined that the feature labeled as "SE" on the attached maps, and highlighted in blue is subject to the Tar Pamlico Buffer Rules. It has been determined that the upstream features of this drainage have been piped underground. The riparian buffers begin at the pipe outlet, located in a wooded area north of West P Street (N 35° 37' 02.61" W 77° 23' 29.39 "), and continues down gradient into the Tar River as shown on the attached maps. This letter only addresses the applicability to the buffer rules and does not approve any activity within the buffers, Waters of the United States or Waters of the State.
