Dear Dennis Christopher Goss and Wilbur Mearl Goss, Jr.:

On April 17, 2024, Chris Smith conducted an on-site review of features located on the subject property
with AJ Kamal from S&EC 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 Wake and
Chatham County and/or the most recent copy of the USGS Topographic (at 1:24,000 scale) map(s).
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 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.
