The streams are labeled as on the attached USGS and USDA Soils map. Staff certified to determine stream origin points per the North Carolina Department of environment and Natural Resources (NC DENR) Division of Water Quality (DWQ) Surface Water Identification Training and Certification (SWITC) observed the features in question. The Town of Morrisville has determined that the streams labeled as “Feature A”, “Feature B” and “Feature E” on the attached map are at least intermittent, and are subject to the 50’ Buffer Rule.

Each feature that is checked “Not Subject” has been determined not to be a stream or is not present on the property. Features that are checked “Subject” have been located on the property and possess characteristics that qualify it to be a stream. 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 US Army Corps of Engineers and/or to the Division of Water Resources.
