The Division has determined that your application is incomplete and cannot be processed. The application is on- hold until the following information is received: 1. Please provide the most recent bound and published Wake county soil survey. Please clearly draw or delineate the site boundaries on the soil survey. [15A NCAC 02H .0502(b)] 2. DWR's file review revealed that a portion of the riparian buffers received formal verification by the Division on January 7, 2014, NBRRO# 13-385. However, the buffer determination letter expired on January 7, 2019 and the property boundary depicted on the January 7, 2014 buffer determination letter does not depict the same project boundary submitted in this application. In the Neuse River Basin, intermittent streams, 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.
