Thanks Amy. Express was concerned that the stream may have been bufferred and requested a buffer exemption letter.
We are not planning on doing any work in the stream (i.e. culvert extensions, piping, etc.) so no mitigation is necessary.
Part of the parking area is going to be within 35 feet of the channel so we needed to make sure there were no buffer issues.
Please send a buffer exemption letter with project reference Commercial Mechanical Systems, 9400 Old Poole Rd,
Transaction # 157202 to:
City of Raleigh

Mr. Blakely is coordinating the Express Review process.
Thanks again for your help!

Hey Jamie!
You are correct that if the stream feature does not show up on the NRCS hard copy soil survey or the USGS topo, then
the stream feature is not buffered. Did Express just want to know if it was buffered or if it was an
intermittent/perennial for stream mitigation purposes?
Let me know. I can do a buffer exemption letter but I need to know whom to make the letter out to. Thanks.

Amy,
I need a buffer determination on a stream located in Raleigh
behind the property addressed as 5400 Old Poole Rd. The property
can be pulled up on Wake County IMAPS with Pin# 1733-23-6601. I
performed a site visit yesterday and the stream conveyance scored
a 26 on the NCDWQ Stream Classification Form. However, I
researched the most recent USGS topographical maps and the NRCS
Soil Maps, and neither indicate the conveyance as a stream.
The plans for the commercial building were being reviewed by the
City of Raleigh and were kicked out of the Express Review Process
until we receive a buffer determination from DWQ. At the project
site, I noticed a recently built residential house located less
than 25 feet from the same stream on the adjoining property.
Other commercial properties adjacent to the stream also had
parking lots and storage areas within 50 feet of the conveyance.
Since the conveyance is identified on USGS or NRCS maps, I do not
believe the buffer regulations are applicable for this
conveyance.

Re: Buffer request
Can you check on this property and issue a buffer determination?
Thanks.
Topo map:
http://www.topozone.com/map.as ?lat=35.76385&lon=-78.55378&s=25&size=l&u=4&datum=nad27&layer=D
Attached is the NRCS soil survey. The location of the property
is approximately 1200 ft south of the southern tip of Carolina
Lake on the map.
