"Is, 100 tY , lip
On behalf of Corium, LLC, A Subsidiary of Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Carolina, PO Box 2291,
Durham, NC 27707, this letter is to officially appeal and to dispute the determination made by City of
Durham, on June 29, 2015 in the above captioned matter.
Specifically, this appeal is related to feature "Si". "S1" is not a stream because it is and has been a
structured stormwater detention and filtering device in place since about 1990.
I respectfully appeal and request your elimination of feature "Si" as an intermittent feature.
Sincerely,
Philip N. Post, P.E., PLS

Explanation: The feature(s) listed on the attached Table 1 and 2 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(8)(4) of the Durham
Unified Development Ordinance. Each feature that is checked "Not Subject" has been
determined not to be a stream or is not present on the property. Features that are checked
"Subject" have been located on the property and 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.
This on-site determination shall expire five (5) years from the date of determination in this
letter. Landowners or affected parties that dispute a determination made by the City of
Durham may request a determination by the N.C. Division of Water Resources. An appeal
request must be made within sixty (60) calendar days of the date of this letter or from the
date the affected party (including downstream and/or adjacent owners) is notified of this
letter. A request for a determination by the DWR shall be referred to DWR in writing c/o
Karen Higgins, Surface Water Protection Section, 1650 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC
27699-1650.

The petition may be faxed to the OAH at (919) 431-3100, provided the original and one copy of
