Subject: On-Site Determination for Applicability to the Neuse Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 02B .0714)
Project Name: Craven Community College/Timmons Group
Site Address / Location: 35.126519 - 77.159735
Dear Mr. Viet:
DWR staff Brooks Sherman conducted a review of feature(s) located on the subject property at the
request of the Timmons Group to determine the applicability of the above-noted state regulations. As
noted in attached application request, there are no marked streams on the required maps listed below.
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 Craven County
and/or the USGS National Map at a scale that incorporates the National Hydrography Dataset High
Resolution data at 1:24,000 scale. 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
Neuse 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.
