BISER Secretary RICHARD E. ROGERS, JR. Director Kaitlyn Hogarth Wildlands Engineering, Inc. khogarthOwildlandseng.com NORTH CAROLINA Environmental Quality March 24, 2023 Project 20220425 Version 2 Wayne County Subject: Determination for Applicability to the Neuse Buffer Rules 15A NCAC 02B .0714 Project: Hatch's Hill Mitigation Site Address: Baker Chapel Church Rd., Mount Olive, NC Location: Lat., Long: 35.219267,-78.065682 Dear Ms. Hogarth: On November 8, 2022, February 21, 2023, and March 1, 2023, Shelton Sullivan of the Division of Water Resources (DWR) conducted an on -site review of feature(s) located on the Hatch's Hill Mitigation Site at the request of Wildlands Engineering, Inc. to determine the presence of stream features and the applicability of these to the Neuse River Riparian Area Protection Rules, Title 15A North Carolina Administrative Code 02B .0714. The enclosed map(s) depict the feature(s) evaluated and this information is also summarized in the table below. Features were evaluated for being ephemeral, at least intermittent, and for subjectivity to the Neuse River Riparian Area Protection Rules. Streams or features that are considered "Subject" have been located on the most recently published County NRCS Soil Survey and/or the most recent copy of the USGS Topographic (at 1:24,000 scale) map(s), have been located on the ground at the site, and possess characteristics that qualify them to be at least intermittent. Features that are considered "Not Subject" have been determined to not be at least intermittent, not present on the property, or not depicted on the required maps. This determination only addresses the applicability to the buffer rules within the proposed property boundary or proposed easement and does not approve any activity within buffers or within waters of the state. There may be other streams or features located on the property or adjacent property that were not evaluated or do not appear on the maps referenced above. Any of the features on the site may be considered jurisdictional according to the US Army Corps of Engineers and subject to the Clean Water Act. The following table lists the features observed for determination during the DWR site visits. See the attached maps for reference.
