On -Site Determination for Applicability to the Jordan Lake Riparian Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 2B .0267)
Dear Ms. Bradsher:
On December 14, 2015, at the request of Melonie Allen with Division of Mitigation Services (DMS) and in
her attendance, Sue Homewood conducted an on-site determination to review features located on the
subject property for stream determinations with regards to the above noted state regulations. Lindsay
Crocker with DMS was also present during the site visit.
Stream 1 as shown on the attached map prepared by DMS and located on the Rockingham County Soil
Survey is subject to the Jordan Lake Buffer Rule. Please note that Stream 1 ends as it enters a significant
wetland area as shown on the attached map. The feature labeled as Stream 3 and shown on the attached
map prepared by DMS is not subject to the Jordan Lake buffer Rule and was not reviewed at the time of
the site visit. The feature labeled as Stream 2 on the attached map prepared by DMS was determined not
to be present onsite and the feature labeled as Stream 4 on the attached map was determined to be a
wetland drainage pattern.
Please note that at the time of this letter, all intermittent and perennial stream channels on the property
that are approximately shown on either: the most recent version of the published Rockingham County
Soil Survey; or the most recent version of the 1:24,000 scale USAGS topographic map are subject to the
rules as cited above. These regulations are subject to change in the future. 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 and/or to the Division of Water Resources
