Subject: On -Site Determination for Applicability to the Neuse Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 02B .0714)
Project Name: Goodwin Crossing — Offsite Sanitary Sewer
Site Address / Location: Between Goodwin and Torredge Roads; Durham, NC 27712
Dear Mr. Robinson:
On April 10, 2024, Cherri Smith, at the request of Sean Stanton with Colliers Engineering & Design,
conducted an on -site review of the streams located on the subject property to determine the
applicability of the above -noted state regulations.
The Division of Water Resources has determined that the streams listed in the table below and
identified on the attached maps are shown on either the most recently published NRCS Soil Survey of
Durham 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 streams identified as "not subject" may be
considered jurisdictional according to the US Army Corps of Engineers and subject to the Clean Water
Act.
