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)]" Atlas Response to Soil Survey: Please see the enclosed digital copy of the Wake county soil survey that includes the project boundary. "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 the 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. [Note: If the permittee believes the maps inaccurately depict surface waters he or she must consult the Division to secure a formal on-site determination.]" ATLAS Environmental, Inc. 712 English Tudor Lane Charlotte, North Carolina 28211 704-512-1206 (o) / 828-712-9205 (m) www.atlasenvi.com / Offices in Asheville and Charlotte W Atlas Response to Buffer Determination: Please see the enclosed USGS map, photograph location map, and representative photographs taken on May 23, 2019. The USGS map depicts two streams within the project boundary. The Wake County soil survey depicts five streams within the project boundary. The Corps approved delineation concurred that one stream was located within the project boundary. The stream which is in the middle of the property is perennial at the lower reach and intermittent at the upper reach. The submitted project plans include the requested buffer impacts located along this stream. Included is a photograph location map and photographs that were taken on site last week (May 23, 2019) in the locations where the USGS and/or Wake County soil survey depicts streams that are in fact wetlands in the field. Atlas requests an updated buffer determination. "3. Please provide documentation for review that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has verified all stream, wetland, and/or open water locations for the project. [15A NCAC 02H .0502(a)(7)]" Atlas Response to Corps Jurisdictional Determination: Please see the enclosed Corps 404 and approved delineation approval for the project. James conducted a site visit on March 6, 2018. The 404 and delineation approval were issued April 26, 2019. Please let me know if you have any questions. I reached out to Stephanie on May 20, 2019 for a permit approval update which was day 55 of DWR's time period for permit review. I received an email and link from Stephanie on May 21, 2019 that included the request for additional information (day 56). The applicant had not received the certified letter the day I forwarded the additional information request to him (May 21, 2019). If a DWR field review is necessary for the buffer determination I request a site meeting as soon as possible given the timing of the additional information request outlined above.

Further, an AJD, a proffered individual permit (and all terms and conditions contained therein), or individual permit denial can be administratively appealed pursuant to 33 C.F.R. Part 331. If, during an administrative appeal, it becomes appropriate to make an official determination whether geographic jurisdiction exists over aquatic resources in the review area, or to provide an official delineation of jurisdictional aquatic resources in the review area, the Corps will provide an AJD to accomplish that result, as soon as is practicable. This PJD finds that there "may be" waters of the U.S. and/or that there "may be" navigable waters of the U.S. on the subject review area, and identifies all aquatic features in the review area that could be affected by the proposed activity, based on the following information: SAW -2014-00116 SUPPORTING DATA.

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 0213.0233 (8)(b)(iv)]. If a stream is depicted on either map it is subject to the riparian buffers.
