The Division of Water Resources (DWR) received a Request from Wildlands Engineering, Inc.
(Wildlands) for a Stream Buffer Applicability Determination for a potential mitigation site at the
location described above. A Landowner Authorization Form was provided by Wildlands for the
subject site. On February 26, 2019, DWR staff, along with staff from Wildlands and Division of
Mitigation Services conducted a site visit.
DWR determined that two (2) features on the site, Perry Branch and one Unnamed Tributary to
Perry Branch (UT1) are both streams and are subject to the Neuse River Riparian Buffer Rules
and are both located on the most recently published NRCS Soil Survey of Guilford County, North
Carolina. There are two (2) other Unnamed Tributaries to Perry Branch, UT2 and UT3, that were
determined to be at least intermittent but not subject to the Neuse River Riparian Buffer Rules.
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. Landowners
or affected parties that dispute a determination made bythe DWR may request a determination
by the Director. An appeal request must be made within sixty (60) calendar days of the date of
this letter to the Director in writing.
