Dear Jordan Burbage:
On December 20, 2023, Blake Hartshorn of the Division of Water Resources (DWR) conducted
an on -site review of feature(s) located on the Hazel's Ford Mitigation Bank Site at the request
of Eco Terra to determine the presence of streams and the applicability of features on the site
to the above noted state regulations. Jordan Burbage with Eco Terra was 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 Orange 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 subj ect to the Jordan
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
