Dear Mr. Burbage:
On January 27, 2023, Shelton Sullivan of the Division of Water Resources (DWR)
conducted an on -site review of feature(s) located on the New Farm Site at the request
of Eco Terra LLC 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
