Re: Analysis of Significant Difference in Stream Determinations made by
Landis, PLLC and NCDEQ-RRO
Dear Mr. Zimmerman:
The following report is intended to provide you with an objective analysis for the
reason(s) of the difference in stream determinations made by Barrett L. Kays,
Senior Soil & Earth Scientist of Landis, PLLC and NCDEQ-RRO. This letter
report will help your staff correct the NCDEQ-RRO stream determination on the
Hidden Hollow Subdivision property in Durham County, NC.
Background: On February 3, 2014, Danny Smith of NCDEQ-RRO issued a
"Surface Water Determination Letter" (NBRRO#14-027 Durham County)
regarding the Hidden Hollow Subdivision, 3310 Gibson Road, Durham, NC. The
letter was not addressed or received by the property owners until last month.
Based upon my conversations with NCDWR-RRO staff, they did not take any
field notes or pictures to support the technical basis for their February 3, 2014
stream determination. This total absence of any field notes or pictures makes it
extremely difficult for us to determine the actual basis of the DWR-RRO's
determination letter. This almost total lack of factual documentation is most

telephone 919.696 6930
troubling to the property owners and it denies his ability to question anything in
the determination letter without hiring an independent expert.
The property owners requested that Barrett L. Kays, Senior Soil & Earth Scientist
of Landis, PLLC conduct a detailed investigation of some of the streams on the
property. The investigations by Dr. Kays showed that some of the streams
classified as intermittent are in fact ephemeral streams. Based upon the these
additional investigations and on behalf of the property owners, I am requesting a
"Determination by the Director" and further that Dr. Kays be allowed to attend any
subsequent site meetings of the NCDEQ.
Contested Stream Determinations: Based upon the DWR-RRO's stream
determination letter dated February 4, 2014, we believe that we are contesting
the determinations for Feature A, A2, C, D, and E as shown on the letter and
maps attached to the letter. However, Feature A2 is not shown on any of the
maps attached to the letter. The February 4, 2014 stream determination letter
refers to start and stop locations on Feature A, A2, and C. These three locations
are unknown in that they are not shown on any of the maps attached to the letter.
In addition the determination letter erroneously refers to the features located on a
map from the Soil Survey of Wake County, North Carolina. The site is located in
Durham County and not Wake County.
Winter Climatic Comparison of 2014 and 2015: Attached is an Excel spread
sheet of records obtained from the State Climatic Office of North Carolina. It
contains daily records of minimum temperature and total daily precipitation. We
have highlighted in yellow those days when the minimum temperature was 28° F
or less. We have also added column E through H to summarize the rainfall data.
1. Winter Period — The last day of 28° F or less temperature in 2014 was
March 27th and in 2015 it was March 29th. Therefore, both years are
1
comparable in terms of minimum temperatures. Further both the DWR-
RRO's determination and Dr. Kays' determination were conducted in the
winter period.
2. Winter Average Daily Precipitation — In 2014 DWR-RRO conducted its
determination on February 4th and the average daily rainfall year to date
was 0.0631 inches. In 2015 Dr. Kays conducted his determination on
March 13th and the average daily rainfall year to date was 0.1127 inches
or 179 -percent greater than 2014. Therefore, it was almost twice as wet
leading up to Dr. Kays' determination, as compared to the DWR-RRO's
determination.
3. 5 -Day Antecedent Rainfall — In 2014 DWR-RRO's determination was
made on February 4th and the 5 -day antecedent rainfall was 0.0109 -
inches. In 2015 Dr. Kays' determination was made on March 13th and the
5 -day antecedent rainfall was 0.1110 -inches. Therefore, on both dates
there was likely no stormwater runoff affecting the conditions on the small
tributary streams on the subject property.
4. Stream Flows — The DWR-RRO's file contain no information as to any flow
in the subject streams. On the date of Dr. Kays' determination, he
observed no flow in the subject streams. At this time, based upon the fact
that in each year the 5 -day antecedent rainfall was quite low, our
assumption is that there was no flow in any of the subject streams at the
time of both of the determinations.
Climate Conclusion: Based upon the climatic data, we conclude (1) that likely
there was no flow in any of the subject streams at the time of the two
determinations, (2) that the 5 -day antecedent rainfall indicates that there was no
stormwater runoff into either of the subject streams at the time of the two
determinations, and (3) that the average daily rainfall year to date for Dr. Kays'
2
determination was almost twice as much as prior to the DWR-RRO's
determination. Therefore the "water table" should be the same elevation or
higher at the time of Dr. Kays' determination as compared to the time of the
DWR-RRO's determination, or conversely that the "water table" elevation should
have been the same or lower at the time of the DWR-RRO's determination.
Basis for Determination: The rules for identification of subject stream are
contained in the definitions of streams according to 15A NCAC 02B .0233 Neuse
River Basin: Nutrient Sensitive Waters Management Strategy: Protection and
Maintenance of Existing Riparian Buffers. In 2005 NCDENR DWQ established a
guidance document'. In 2010 NCDENR (now DEQ) established a revised
guidance document2. Neither guidance document has been promulgated in the
department's rules. The stream definitions in the subject rule provide the only
promulgated regulatory basis for stream determinations. The definition of
intermittent stream in the rule "means a well-defined channel that contains water
for o ily part of the vanr fimically during the winter andspring when thea uatic
bed is below the water table. The flow maybe heavily su lemented b
stormwater runoff. An intermittent stream often lacks the biological and
h drolo ical characteristics commonly associated with the conveyance of water".
The only element of this definition that is measurable is the reference that
"channel contains water for only part of the year, typically during the winter and
spring when the aquatic bed is below the water table". Looking more specifically
at this definition:
Identification Methods for the Origins of Intermittent and Perennial Streams, Version 3.1,
dated February 28, 2005, NCDENR, DWQ
2 Methodology for Identification of Intermittent and Perennial Streams and Their Origins,
Version 4.11, dated September 1, 2010, NCDEQ, DWR.
3
I. 15A NCAC 02L .0102 defines "Water table" and it "means the surface of
the saturated zone below which all interconnected voids are filled with
water and at which the Pressure is atmos heric" 3.
a. The procedure in determining the depth to ground water table as
referenced in the department's 2005 guidance document was not
conducted on February 2, 2014 according personnel conversation
on October 13, 2015 with Ms. Sara Knies, DEQ-RRO. She
indicated that she made a determination of hydric soils along the
stream channel and used this as a basis for your stream
determination as described in the 2010 guidance document. The
areas of hydric soils seem inconsistent with the preliminary
jurisdictional wetland determination completed by Mr. Scott
Mitchell, PE, LSS and dated April 3, 2014, in that there are no
wetlands mapped along the vast majority of the intermittent stream
channels on the property. Ms. Knies also indicated that she did not
fill out any data sheets or have notes beyond what is contained in
the February 3, 2014 determination letter and attached maps. This
means that there is no way to review her actual procedure and
technical basis for her determination of each of the features.
b. The suggested procedure in the department's 2005 guidance
document states that:
"Indicators of a current water table can be observed by digging a
bore hole in the adjacent floodplain approximately two feet from the
streambed. The presence of water standing in the hole above the
3 Atmospheric pressure — means the pressure controlled by the atmosphere such as +29.9
mm -bars of pressure. Compare that with pressure of -0.001 mm -bars of pressure in a wet
soil in a hydric soil that appears wet, but in fact is in height well above the water table or
saturated zone that is at +29.9 mm -bars. Saturation occurs when the water is at
atmospheric pressure and most often water in soils is at negative pressures.
4
elevation of the channel bottom after waiting for at least 30 minutes
(longer for clay soils) indicates the presence of a water table. This
procedure appears to be consistent with the definition of "water
table" in the Rules. This procedure was not done in the February 3,
2014 site visit according to personnel conversation with Ms. Sara
Knies. Rather she used the hydric soils approach in the 2010
guidance document, but it is clear that the 2010 guidance is
inconsistent with the definition of "water table" and "intermittent
stream" in the Rules.
c. The presence of hydric soil indicators above the elevation of the
channel bottom in floodplain soils adjacent to the channel does not
necessarily indicate the presence of a seasonal high water table in
that the wetness in the soil may be not be at atmospheric pressure
(as required in the definition of "water table"). It also does not
necessarily mean that the water table is above the aquatic bed for
any period of the year. The seasonally high water table is not the
same as the "water table" as defined in the Rules which must be at
atmospheric pressure.
d. Landis, PLLC used the procedure described in the 2005 guidance
document and came to a very different determination than NCDEQ-
RRO did using the 2010 guidance document.
Conclusion: The DWR has changed its guidance document about
"water table" determination so that the 2010 version of the guidance
document does no longer conforms to the definitions of "intermittent
stream" and "water table" in the Rules.
2. "Part of the year, typically during the winter and spring" in the definition of
"intermittent stream" in the Rules — means for some reasonable time
5
during the winter and spring. During the winter the "water table" is
normally fairly constant although there is some variation on year to year
based upon rainfall. The water table is lowered by evapotranspiration
starting in the late winter and early spring, therefore the water table is
usually at its highest in the late winter before the drawn down begins. The
Soil Survey of Durham County lists the growing season based upon 28° F
to start March 30 for 50% of years.
a. The stream determination in 2014 was conducted on February 3,
which qualifies as during the winter.
b. The stream determination in 2015 was conducted on March 13,
which also qualifies as during the winter.
Conclusion: The time of year of the investigation by DEQ-RRO in 2014 and
by Landis, PLLC in 2015 are correct.
3. Ms. Knies indicated that she used the definition of hydric soils in order to
determine the depth to the seasonally high water table. When the
seasonally high water table fluctuates above the water table it can be due
to any of the following reasons.-
a.
easons:
a. The zone of saturation appears to have risen by capillary action
(negative pressures far below the atmospheric pressure) to cause
redoximorphic depletions in the unsaturated zone above the water
table. By the definition of "water table" in the Rules this does not
constitute a rise of the water table or saturated zone.
b. The zone of saturation appears to have risen by capillary action
(negative pressures far below the atmospheric pressure) to cause
redoximorphic concentrations in the unsaturated zone above the
water table. By the definition of "water table" in the Rules this does
not constitute a rise of the water table or saturated zone.
6
c. The zone of saturation appears to have risen by lateral seepage
down the valley slopes and toward the stream but has not affected
a rise in the saturated zone. By the definition of "water table" in the
Rules this does not constitute a rise of the water table or saturated
zone. Typical there is a dry soil zone between the water table and
the lateral seepage has not yet moved down to the water table.
d. The zone of saturation appears to have occurred by a perched
water table above a heavy clay subsoil layer. It is a temporary wet
zone prior to its movement downward to the saturated zone or
water table. By the definition of "water table" in the Rules this does
not constitute a rise of the water table or saturated zone. Typically
there is a zone between the perched water table and the actual
water table that has neither redoximorphic depletions nor
concentrations.
Because these four conditions frequently occur without any rise in the
actual water table, basing the determination on the seasonally high water
table often leads to very erroneous stream determinations.
Conclusion: The determination of seasonally high water conducted by
DEQ-RRO is not meant to determine the rise of the actual "water table" as
defined in the Rules. In addition the DEQ-RRO does not have any data
for their determination of the seasonally high water table. The procedure
used by Landis, PLLC to determine the depth to actual water table is the
correct procedure determine the depth to the "water table" for an
"intermittent stream" both as defined in the Rules.
Finding of Fact: In order to accurately make an intermittent stream
determination according to the Rule definition of "intermittent stream" (1) it must
7
be a measure of the depth to the actual water table pursuant to the definitions of
"water table" and "intermittent stream" (see procedure on page 16 of 2005
guidance document), (2) determinations for Durham County must be made in the
winter and spring before March 30 for them to be accurate, and (3) a
determination based upon hydric soils and assumption of depth to seasonally
high water are not allowed in the Rules and can be erroneous (as the procedure
is described on page 26-27 in the 2010 guidance document).

1. Borinq Location — B-1 — is located on north side of the lower portion of a
tributary stream shown on the attached topographic map. A boring was
conducted with a hand auger adjacent to the stream on March 13, 2015 at
1:20 PM. The depth of water in the unlined auger hole was measured as
approximately 1.9 -feet below the stream bed at 4:00 PM. Mr. Scott Mitchell's
preliminary wetland map does not show any wetlands along the stream
channel and no hydric soils were found to be present. The soils present are
consistent with upland soils and are mapped as WsE — White Store Series,
moderately well drained upland soils in the Soil Survey of Durham County,
NC. WsE is not a hydric soil. The stream is an entrenched stream in the
uplands and has a slope of approximately 1 -percent.
The elevation of the water table was checked later in the spring on April 24,
2015 to determine if any significant draw down had occurred since March 13,
2015. The water table was found to be at approximately the same depth
below the aquatic bed in the adjacent stream channel.
This stream channel is shown as Feature C in the DWR-RRO's delineation
letter and as more specifically shown on the larger attached topographic map
from its confluence with Feature D.
Conclusion: The stream channel adjacent to B-1 is an ephemeral stream
and is not an intermittent stream because the water table is below the aquatic
bed for a significant period in the winter and spring, and that there were no
hydric soils present.
2. Borinq Location — B-2 — is located on the south side of the middle portion of
a tributary stream shown on the attached topographic map. A boring was
conducted with a hand auger adjacent to the stream on March 13, 2015 at
2:30 PM. The depth of water in the unlined auger hole was measured as
approximately 2.0 -feet below the stream bed at 4:12 PM. Mr. Scott Mitchell's
preliminary wetland map does not show any wetlands along the stream
channel and thus no hydric soils were present. The soils present are
consistent with upland soils and are mapped as WsE & WsC — White Store
Series, moderately well drained upland soils in the Soil Survey of Durham
12
County, NC. WsE is not a hydric soil. The stream is an entrenched stream
and has a slope of approximately 1 -percent.
The elevation of the water table was checked later in the spring on April 24,
2015 to determine if any significant draw down had occurred since March 13,
2015. The water table was found to be at approximately the same depth
below the aquatic bed in the adjacent stream channel.
This stream channel is shown as Feature C in the DWR-RRO's delineation
letter and as more specifically shown on the larger attached topographic map
from its confluence with Feature D.
Conclusion: The stream channel adjacent to B-2 is an ephemeral stream
and is not an intermittent stream because the water table is below the aquatic
bed and that there were no hydric soils present.
3. Boring Location — B-3 — is located on east side of the middle portion of a
tributary stream shown on the attached topographic map. A boring was
conducted with a hand auger adjacent to the stream on March 13, 2015 at
3:45 PM. The depth of water in the unlined auger hole was measured as
approximately 1.5 -feet below the stream bed at 4:20 PM. Mr. Scott Mitchell's
preliminary wetland map does not show any wetlands along the east side of
the stream channel and thus no hydric soils were present. The soils present
are consistent with upland soils and are mapped as WsE — White Store
Series, moderately well drained upland soils in the Soil Survey of Durham
County, NC. WsE is not a hydric soil. The stream is an entrenched stream
along the edge of the uplands. The map does show some wetlands along
smaller streams in the bottom area west of this stream.
The elevation of the water table was checked later in the spring on April 24,
2015 to determine if any significant draw down had occurred since March 13,
2015. The water table was found to be at approximately the same depth
below the aquatic bed in the adjacent stream channel.
This stream channel is shown as Feature D in the DWR-RRO's delineation
letter and as more specifically shown on the larger attached topographic map
from the eastern property line down to its confluence with Feature C. The
lower segment of Feature D which is below its confluence with Feature C is
not contested because it was correctly delineated as intermittent by DWR-
RRO's determination letter.
13
Conclusion: The stream channel adjacent to B-3 is an ephemeral stream
and is not an intermittent stream because the water table is below the aquatic
bed and that there were no hydric soils.
4. Boring Location — B-4 — is located on the east side of a minor tributary
stream shown on the attached topographic map. A boring was conducted
with a hand auger adjacent to the stream bed on March 13, 2015 at 3:45 PM.
The depth of water in the unlined auger hole was measured as approximately
1.0 -feet below the stream bed at 4:20 PM. Mr. Scott Mitchell's preliminary
wetland map does show wetlands along the stream channel, therefore it is
likely that there are hydric soils in the lower portion of the stream channel.
The elevation of the water table was checked later in the spring on April 24,
2015 to determine if any significant draw down had occurred since March 13,
2015. The water table was found to be at approximately the same depth
below the aquatic bed in the adjacent stream channel.
This stream channel is shown as Feature A in the DWR-RRO's delineation
letter and as more specifically shown on the larger attached topographic map
from the eastern property line down to its confluence with Feature D. Note
Feature A2 location is unknown in that it is not shown on any of DWR-RRO's
delineation maps.
Conclusion: The stream channel adjacent to B-4 is an ephemeral stream
and is not an intermittent stream because the water table is below the aquatic
bed. Even though there are hydric soils present along the stream, the "water
table" as defined in the Rules should take presence because the definition of
"intermittent stream" in the Rules specifically requires the water table to be at
or above the aquatic bed in the winter and spring. In addition, the hydric soils
are indicating a "seasonally high water table" which is not the "water table" as
defined in the Rules.
