The Speedman Mitigation Bank project consist of approximately 66 acres of privately held land,
which will be placed in a conservation easement. The Mitigation Bank includes forested and
agricultural lands. The site consists of four ditches and three stream reaches. The site will be
planned and designed according to the Consolidated Buffer Mitigation Rule 15A NCAC 02B
.0295, which became effective on November 1, 2015.

Attached are three Google Earth photos of the project site from the years 1993, 2006 and 2016.
Also included are maps with the latest imagery showing the site parcel, proposed conservation
easement, and existing aquatic resources.

Subject: Determination for Applicability to the Neuse Buffer Rules 15A NCAC 02B .0714
Project Name: Speedman Mitigation Bank
Address: Thunder Swamp Rd., Dudley, NC 28333
Location: Lat., Long: 35.250960, -78.092484 Dear Ms. Roland: On September 14, 2023, Shelton Sullivan of the Division of Water Resources (DWR) conducted an on-site review of feature(s) located on the Speedman Mitigation Bank Site at the request of Water & Land Solutions to determine the presence of streams and the applicability of features on the site to the Neuse River Riparian Area Protection Rules, Title 15A North Carolina Administrative Code 02B .0714. Blake Hartshorn with DWR, Daniel Ingram and Kyle Obermiller with Water & Land Solutions were present for the site visit. The Division of Water Resources has determined that the features listed as “subject” in the table below and identified on the attached maps are shown on either the most recently
published County NRCS Soil Survey of and/or the USGS National Map at a scale that incorporates the National Hydrography Dataset High Resolution data at 1:24,000 scale. In addition, the features 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 Nuese 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. The enclosed map(s) depict the feature(s) evaluated and this information is also summarized in the table below.
