*E/1/P = Ephemeral/Intermittent/Perennial
The Division of Water Resources has determined that the streams listed above and included on the attached map(s)
have been located on the most recent published NRCS Soil Survey of PITT 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 Neuse River
Riparian Buffer Rule. Each stream that is checked "Not Subject" may have been determined to be at least
intermittent, perennial or present on the property but do not appear on either the most recent published NRCS Soil
Survey of PITT County, nor on the most recent copy of the USGS Topographic map. Therefore, the lower portion of
drainage feature "i" is subiect to the Neuse River Riparian Buffer Rules, while the upper portion of feature "1" and
features "2 — 5" are not subject to the Neuse River Riparian Buffer Rules. 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 date of this letter to the Director in writing.

This determination is final and binding as detailed above, unless an appeal is requested within sixty (60) days.
This determination only addresses the applicability to the buffer rules and does not approve any activity within any
buffers, streams or wetlands. The project may require a Section 404/401 Permit for the proposed activity. Any
inquiries regarding applicability to the Clean Water Act should be directed to the US Army Corps of Engineers
