Project Name: Bear Grass Charter School Athletic Field

Dear Mr. Hodges:
On August 2, 2023, Paul Nyarko and Brooks Sherman conducted an on -site review of features located on
the subject property at the request of Phil Hodges to determine the applicability of the above -noted
state regulations.
The Division of Water Resources has determined that streams listed in the table below and identified on
the attached maps are shown on either the most recently published NRCS Soil Survey of Martin County
or most recent copy of the USGS Topographic (at 1:24,000 scale) map(s). Streams that are listed as
"Subject" on the below table have been located on the ground at the site and possess characteristics
that qualify them to be at least intermittent streams in accordance with the NC Stream Identification
Manual v.4.11 and therefore subject to the Tar- Pamlico Buffer Rules. 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.
