Karen
Enclosed are 3 copies of PCN and maps for wetland impact for a residential drive way
crossing a wetland. The enclosed is a fee of $240.00. The drive way impact does not
impact the Neuse Buffers or a stream.
Any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Thank you

Explanation: The feature(k) listed above that are checked "Subject" to the Johnston County Neuse
Riparian Buffer Ordinance (Section 14-393 Johnston County Code of Ordinances) has or have been
approximately shown on either the Soil Survey of Johnston County, North Carolina (1994) or the most
recent version of the 1:24,000 (7.5 minute) quadrangle topographic maps prepared by the United States
Geologic Survey (USGS), and have been located on the property and possess characteristics that qualify
it to be a stream. Each feature that is checked "Not Subject" has been determined not to be a stream or
is not present on the property. '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 IJS Army Corps
of Engineers and/or the North Carolina Division of Water Resources.
