draw or delineate the site boundaries on the soil survey. [15A NCAC 02H .0502(b)]
2. In the Neuse River Basin, intermittent stream's, perennial streams, lakes-, ponds and
estuaries depicted on USGS maps and NRCS'soil survey maps are subject to the Riparian
Buffer Rules. Impacts to the riparian buffers—must be identified on your plans [15A
NCAC 02B.0233 (8)(b)(iv)]. If a stream is depicted on either map it is subject to the
riparian -buffers. [Note: if the permittee believes the maps inaccurately depict surface
waters he or she must consult the Division' to' secure. a -formal on-site
