The Division of Water Resources has determined that the stream listed above and included on the attached map(s)
have been located on the most recent published NRCS Soil Survey of CRAVEN County, North Carolina and/or the
most recent copy of the USGS Topographic map at a 1:24,000 scale and evaluated for applicability to the Neuse River
Riparian Buffer Rule. Each stream that is checked "Not Subject" has been determined to not be at least intermittent
or not present on the property. Streams that are checked "Subject" have been located on the property and possess
characteristics that qualify them to be at least intermittent streams. There may be other streams or features located
on the property that do not appear on the maps referenced above but may be considered jurisdictional according
to the US Army Corps of Engineers and subject to the Clean Water Act.
