Sinai tract located at 2301 Mount Sinai Road. Exhibit 1 and Exhibit 2 identify the property on the most recent USGS Topographic Map and NRCS Orange County Soil Survey. Surface waters shown on either exhibit are potentially subject to Federal, State and Local regulation. PROCEDURES During the evaluation, Soil Services traversed the site establishing areas meeting the criteria for a jurisdictional wetland/waters based on the procedures set forth in the US Armv Corps of En�ineers (USACE) Wetlands Delineation Manual (Januarv 1987—Final Report�. Areas with the presence of hydric soils, wetland hydrology and hydrophytic vegetation were flagged and sequentially labeled. Other jurisdictional (surface)waters such as streams, lakes and ponds were also identified and are subject to regulation by the USACE. The NC Division of Water Quality (DWQ) also regulates surface waters that appear on the USGS Topographic Map and/or the NRCS County Soil Survey. Some watersheds, such as the Neuse and Tar-Pamlico, have additional riparian buffer requirements restricting uses directly adjacent to these waters. Surface waters were flagged and sequentially labels using DWQ field techniques. See the Results and Regulations sections for detailed information.
