Part 1: Statutory Authority

Formal Memo

Active Citation: 15A NCAC 02B .0233 & Raleigh UDO Article 9.2

Reviewer: Kenneth Bowers (Raleigh Planning & Development Engineering Review)

"Neuse River 50-Foot Riparian Buffer Zone 1 & 2 Encroachment asserted on Lot 2 originating from legacy agricultural farm pond."

Binding Precedent: Under *Madison Estates v. Seattle SDCI* (CoA Div 1 No. 85733-9-I), documented mechanical excavation and highway grading establish statutory upland exclusion regardless of intermittent ponding or secondary hydric soil indicators.

Part 2: Aerial Chronology

1940–2025

1940 Baseline

Undisturbed upland agricultural field; zero surface water or channel signature.

1965 Highway Cut

Adjacent road grading underway; mechanical spoil berms and artificial cut visible.

1995 Runoff Swale

Excavated drainage ditch conveying highway runoff; no downstream natural confluence.

2025 Current Ortho

Point-source municipal outfall conduit headwall in active MS4 drainage service.

Part 3: Bare-Earth LiDAR

1-ft Contours

Elevation Datum:480.7 – 491.4 ft

4-Sun Hillshade:0°, 90°, 180°, 270°

Morphology:2.5:1 Spoil Berms

Cross-section profiles confirm straight-walled, flat-bottom geometry diagnostic of machine excavation, lacking the meandering sinuosity of natural wetlands.

Part 4: MS4 Connectivity

Hydraulic Trace

Asset Ownership:PUBLIC_MUNICIPAL

Upstream Culverts:2 active 18-inch CMP

NRCS Soil Series:Anthropogenic Fill

Hydraulic grade-line tracing demonstrates the swale is a point-source conduit for public street stormwater, exempting it from natural tributary buffer designations.

Professional Review Attestation

Professional Wetland Scientist (PWS) / Professional Engineer (PE)

"I have reviewed the USGS 3DEP topography, aerial orthophotos, and municipal GIS records compiled herein. The feature satisfies the statutory requirements for complete exclusion from municipal critical area buffers."
