Subject: On-Site Determination for Applicability to the Neuse Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 02B .0714)

Project Name: 5211 Red Mill Road
Site Address / Location: 5211 Red Mill Road, Durham NC 27704

Dear Mr. Truong:

On November 8, 2023, DWR staff, Dorothy Robson, conducted an on-site review of features located on the subject
property 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 Durham County and the 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 Neuse River
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.
