The Division of Water Resources has determined that the streams listed above and included on the
attached map have been located on the most recent published NRCS Soil Survey of MARTIN 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 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.
This on-site determination shall expire five (5) years from the date of this letter. Landowners or affected
parties that dispute a determination made by the DWR may request a determination by the Director.
