Project Name: Jumping Jack Creek Mitigation Site
Address: 7678 Stricklands Crossroads Road, Four Oaks, NC
Location: Lat., Long: 35.376255,-78.468870
Dear Ms. Hogarth:
On March 5, 2024, 2023, Shelton Sullivan of the Division of Water Resources (DWR)
conducted an on -site review of feature(s) located within the proposed easement of the
Jumping Jack Creek Mitigation Site at the request of Wildlands Engineering, Inc. to
determine the presence of stream/water features on the site and the applicability of
those to the Neuse River Riparian Area Protection Rules, Title 15A North Carolina
Administrative Code 02B .0714. Kaitlyn Hogarth with Wildlands Engineering, Inc, and
Samantha Wooten, Jennie Emmons, and Cat Ortero with DWR were also 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" or "not evaluated" may be considered jurisdictional
according to the US Army Corps of Engineers and subject to the Clean Water Act.
