Pender County
Donald R. van der Vaart
Secretary
On March 16, 2015 and April 20, 2015, at the request of Cory Darnell of ECS, Joanne Steenhuis of the
Division of Water Resources (DWR) Wilmington Regional Office (WiRO) went to the site to
determine /confirm a stream call. The stream is as shown on Figure 5 Flagging location map (attached)
provide by Cory Darnell of ECS.
The soils amp and the USGS topographic map show the stream flowing in a southerly direction paralleling
the property boundary to the west. In the field, it was found that the stream has been ursurped by a ditch
and in the SW corner of the property it continues in a man -made feature and continues under US Highway
117 at the SE corner and connects to another UT to Burgaw Creek. The stream follows two sides of the
property from data points indicated as SA1 (at the NW corner of the property) to SA29 (to the SE corner of
the property). Please note that the stormwater section may require a 50 foot buffer from the stream.
This on -site determination shall expire five (5) years from the date of this letter. Landowners or other
affected parties that dispute a determination made by DWR or a delegated Local Authority may request
a determination by the Director. An appeal request must be made within sixty (60) calendar days of the

notified of this letter. A request for determination by the Director shall be referred to the Director in
writing c/o Karen Higgins, DWR 401 & Buffer Permitting Unit, 1617 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC
27699 -1617.
This determination is final and binding unless, as detailed above, you ask for an appeal within sixty (60)
calendar days.
The owner /future owners should notify the Division (including any other local, state and federal agencies)
of this determination concerning any future correspondence regarding the subject property. This project
may require a Section 404 Permit /401 Water Quality Certification for the proposed activity. Any inquiries
should be directed to the Joanne Steenhuis of DWR at 910.796.7306 and to Emily Greer of the U.S. Army
