The Division of Water Resources has determined that two of the streams listed above have been located on the most recently published NRCS Soil Survey of Chatham County, North Carolina and/or the most recent copy of the USGS Topographic map at a 1:24,000 scale and were evaluated for applicability to the Jordan Riparian Buffer Rule. Maps are provided with this letter and were initialed by Niki Maher on August 10, 2017. Each feature that is checked "Not Subject" has been determined to not be at least intermittent or not present on the property or not depicted on the required maps. 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. An appeal request must be made within sixty (60) calendar days of the date of this letter to the Director in writing.
