A Landowner Authorization Form was provided by RES. On April 12, 2019, DWR staff, along with Jeremy Schmid from RES conducted a site visit. DWR determined that the two features on the site, Climax Creek and one Unnamed Tributary to Climax Creek are both streams and are subject to the Jordan Lake Riparian Buffer Rules and are both located on the most recently published NRCS Soil Survey of Guilford County, North Carolina and shown on the most recent copy of the USGS Topographic map at a 1: 24,000 scale. There is one other Unnamed Tributary (UT2) to Climax Creek that was determined to be at least intermittent but not subject to the Jordan Lake Riparian Buffer Rules. It important to note that most of the features listed in the table above have been modified by earthen dams, culverting, and underground piping. Therefore, many of the features could not be observed. There may be other streams or features located on the properties and on the included maps that may be subject to the buffer rules or 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.
