Subject: On -Site Determination for Applicability to the Neuse Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 02B .0714)
Project Name: NCRR Industrial (DWR#20240060)
Site Address / Location: 35.639504,-78.434902 (Corner of Hwy 42 & US 70 Business W)

Dear Trish Haver:
On April 3, 2024, Zach Thomas conducted an on -site review of features located on the subject
property at the request of Perry Isner with Wetlands and Waters, Inc. and in coordination with
the review of 401/Buffer application DWR#20240060, 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 Franklin 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 Neuse 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.
