Dear Mr. Roessler:
On June 7, 2023, Shelton Sullivan with the Division of Water Resources (DWR) conducted an on -site review of features
located on the subject at the request of Wildlands Engineering, Inc. to determine the applicability of the above -noted
state regulations. Sydni Law with Wildlands Engineering, Blake Hartshorn, Maria Polizzi, and Ryan Hamilton with the

characteristics that qualify them to be at least intermittent streams or water bodies in accordance with the NC Stream
Identification Manual v.4.11. Please be aware that features identified as "not subject" may be considered
jurisdictional according to the US Army Corps of Engineers and subject to the Clean Water Act.
