Box 765 <br /> Hillsborough, NC 27278 <br /> Re: Orange County Unified Development Ordinance Surface Water ldentification <br /> Jordan Lake Unprotected Watershed <br /> PI N: 9881-15-7138 <br /> To Whom It May Concern: <br /> This letter serves as confirmation of an on-site surface water identification made by Orange <br /> County Erosion Control Division staff for the referenced parcel. Orange County enforces a <br /> stream buffer along streams and water features in the County per the Orange County <br /> Unified Development Ordinance (see Section 6.13 Stream Buffers). <br /> The evaluation showed that the parcel in question has (2) water features subject to <br /> buffer regulations. The water features are noted on the attached aerial photo and will <br /> require a 65' or 80' undisturbed buffer along both sides, as calculated per the <br /> referenced Ordinance regulations. These undisturbed buffer areas shall be measured <br /> from the top of the stream bank, outer edge of wet, marshy areas, or outer edge of the <br /> floodplain where applicable. In the instance where a water feature has braided stream <br /> segments with channels running parallel to one another, the buffer shall be measured <br /> from the outermost bank on either side. See below for examples of how the buffer is to <br /> be measured in varying situations: <br /> S:\\ErosionControlDivision\2012\CapeFear\060812.PIN9881.15.7138.JJF <br />
