Dear Mr. Fischer:
On April 5, 2023, the Division of Water Resources (DWR) received a request from Davey Resources
Group on behalf of Medical Park Partners, LLC, to appeal an on -site Stream Determination made by
DWR. On April 27, 2023, Stephanie Goss and Shelton Sullivan of DWR conducted an on -site
inspection of the feature on the site in accordance with the standardized "Methodology for
Identification of Intermittent and Perennial Streams and Their Origins" which includes the North
Carolina Stream ID Manual Version 4.11. Christian Preziosi and John Perry of Davey Resource Group
accompanied DWR during the site visit.
The enclosed maps depict the feature evaluated and this information is also summarized in the table

This letter only addresses the applicability of the stated regulations on the features identified
on the subject property and/or within the proposed project area. This letter does not approve
any activity within waters of the state. There may be other regulated waters, streams or other
features located on the property or adjacent property that do not appear on the maps
referenced above. Any waters, streams, or other features on the site, including the features
identified in this letter, may be considered jurisdictional according to the US Army Corps of
Engineers and subject to the Clean Water Act. Please note that the DWR acknowledges all
areas and boundaries identified by the US Army Corps of Engineers as jurisdictional waters
and/or wetlands.
The following table lists the features observed and evaluated for the appeal determination during the

Dear Mr. Wellons:
On January 25, 2023, DWR staff, Holley Snider and Michael Meilinger, conducted an on -site review of

regulations.
The attached maps depict the location of the features that were evaluated during our site visit. The
attached initialed and dated sketch accurately depicts all Division stream determinations conducted
during the site visit. The stream feature labeled with a purple line starting at the pin location at
34.73160,-76.77514 shows the ephemeral/intermittent point of this feature. Downstream of this point
has been identified as a jurisdictional stream.
This on -site determination shall expire five (5) years from the date of this letter. The owner (or future
owners) should notify the Division (and other relevant agencies) of this decision in any future
correspondences concerning this property. Landowners or affected parties that dispute this
determination made by the Division may request a determination by the Director of Water Resources.

days of the date of this letter to the Director in writing.
