Wetlands may be present within and adjacent to the project area. Contact the City of Durham
Planning Department (Dennis Doty 919-560-4137) to determine if your project is subject to
wetland set back regulations.
Explanation: The feature(s) listed on the attached Table 1 have been located on the Soil Survey
of Durham County, North Carolina and/or the most recent copy of the USGS Topographic map at
a 1:24,000 scale, or was determined to be subject per section 8.5(B)(4) of the Durham Unified
Development Ordinance. Each feature that is checked "Not Subject" has been determined not to
be a stream. Features that are checked "Subject" possess characteristics that qualify it to be a
stream. There may be other streams located on your property that do not show up on the maps
referenced above but, still may be considered jurisdictional according to the US Army Corps of
Engineers (USACE) and the Division of Water Resources (DWR), or both.
