recent published NRCS Soil Survey of Edgecombe 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 Tar -
Pamlico 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.

affected parties that dispute a determination made by the DWR may request a determination by
the Director. An appeal request must be made within sixty (60) calendar days of date of this letter
to the Director in writing.
