Dear Mr. Brame:
On January 20 2017, at your request and in your attendance, April Norton and Sue Homewood conducted
an on-site determination to review features located on the subject properties for stream determinations with
regards to the above noted state regulations. David Bailey with the US Army Corps of Engineers was also
present during the site visit.
The Division acknowledges the areas and boundaries identified as jurisdictional wetlands by the USACE.
The attached map accurately depicts all stream determinations conducted during the site visit.
Please note that at the time of this letter, all perennial stream channels and jurisdictional wetlands found on
the property are subject to the mitigation rules cited above. These regulations are subject to change in the
future. Additionally, the Jordan Lake Buffer Rules apply to streams as shown on the map.
The owner (or future owners) should notify the Division (and other relevant agencies) of this decision in
any future correspondences concerning this property. This on-site determination shall expire five (5) years
from the date of this letter.

the Director. A request for a determination by the Director shall be referred to the Director in writing c/o
401 & Buffer Permitting Branch, 1650 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-1650. Individuals that
dispute a determination by the Division or Delegated Local Authority that "exempts" surface water from
the buffer rule may ask for an adjudicatory hearing. You must act within 60 days of the date that you
receive this letter. Applicants are hereby notified that the 60 -day statutory appeal time does not start until
the affected party (including downstream and adjacent landowners) is notified of this decision. The
Division recommends that the applicant conduct this notification in order to be certain that third party
appeals are made in a timely manner. To ask for a hearing, send a written petition, which conforms to
Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes to the Office of Administrative Hearings, 6714 Mail
