Figured anything out yet?
Based on the elevations, at the % line there should be no way the waters would be tidal .... the elevation of the low spot
based on Lidar topo is elevation 35.

Attached is pdf showing the aerial image along with Lidar Topo that I generated. I drew a % mile radius circle from the
pond outlet.
Let me know if you need anything else.

Hey Mark,
Thanks for the email. Can you provide an aerial and topo map with a % mile radius around the project area? Based on
Google Earth, it appears the source to Cypress Branch may be close to HWY 17.

Can you tell me where the upper reach of Cypress Branch is located. Gulf Stream Steel is looking at doing an Industrial
Park behind and beside their facility in Holly Ridge.
Attached is a pdf of the preliminary plan.
As you can see below, the interactive map has us farther than % mile from Cypress Branch.

Mark,
The extent of the SA waters has not been digitized and, as noted by the disclosure at the top of that website, this
mapping tool is only a guide:
Please check with the DEQ Regional Office if the location is near an important boundary (such as SA Waters) so the
location and applicable design requirements can be verified.
The Division of Water Resources is responsible for confirming the extent of the SA waters. I believe that Robb Mairs
covers Onslow County. Please confirm the extent of the SA waters with him.

Dear Mark:
ROY COOPER
Governor
MICHAEL S. REGAN
Secretary
LINDA CULPEPPER
Interim Director
On January 18, 2018 and again on January 23, 2018, at your request, Joanne Steenhuis and Robb Mairs, NC Division
of Water Resource (NCDWR) staff, conducted an on-site determination to determine the ephemeral/intermittent (E/1)
points of stream sources to Cypress Branch at the Camp Davis Industrial Park. The enclosed aerial photograph with
drawing depicts the approximate E/I points and sample location, and whether a feature has been determined to be a
stream or not. This drawing has been signed and is valid for 5 years.
This on-site determination shall expire five (5) years from the date of this letter. Landowners or other affected
parties that dispute a determination made by DWR or a delegated Local Authority may request a determination
by the Director. An appeal request must be made within sixty (60) calendar days of the date of this letter or
from the date the affected party (including downstream and/or adjacent owners) is notified of this letter. A
request for determination by the Director shall be referred to the Director in writing c/o Karen Higgins, DWR
401 & Buffer Permitting Unit, 1617 Mail Center, Raleigh, NC 27699.1617.
This determination is final and binding unless you ask for a hearing within 60 days. The owner/future owners should
notify the Division (including any other local, state and federal agencies) of this determination concerning any future
correspondence regarding the subject property. This project may require a Section 404/401 Water Quality Certification
for the proposed activity. Any inquiries should be directed to Robb Mairs of DWR at 910.796.7215 and Rachel Capito
of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers at 910.251.4487.
Please contact Robb Mairs at 910.796.7215 or Robb. Mairs anncdenr.gov if you have any questions or concerns.
