Subject: On-Site Determination for Applicability to the Tar-Pamlico Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 02B .0734)

Project Name: Oxford Hunt Property
Site Address / Location: 6055 Tabbs Creek Road, Oxford, NC 27565

Dear Mr. Chapman:

On December 12, 2023, Michael Hall of the Division of Water Resources, Raleigh Regional Office
conducted an on-site review of features located on the subject property with Cory Darnell of Sage
Ecological Services, Incorporated, 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 Granville
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 BASIN 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.
