Dear Mr. Byrne:
On March 30, 2007, the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) received your application for the above
referenced project. The DWQ has determined that your application was incomplete and/or provided
inaccurate information as discussed below. The DWQ will require additional information in order to
process your application to impact protected wetlands and/or streams on the subject property. DWQ has
placed this project on hold as incomplete until we receive this additional information or fee. Please
provide the following information so that we may continue to review your project.
Additional Information Requested:
^ Water Quality Certification, See I. Processing, Item 2.. Please state which Permit
(Nationwide, Regional or General) number you intend to use. You may want to contact the
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USAGE) to determine which permit they will allow you to
use.
^ DWQ requires the name of an individual shown as "Owner/Applicant" to set up the project.

^ Lack of permitting fee. Please note that beginning January 1, 1999, the N.C. General
Assembly passed legislation requiring payment of a fee for all 401 applications. The fee for
applications is $200 for projects impacting less than an acre of wetland and less than 150
linear feet of streams. For projects impacting one or more acres of wetland or 150 or more
feet of streams, the fee is $475.
^ Incorrect permitting fee amount. Please see above item. DWQ does not retain any payment
unless it is in the correct amount.
^ OTHER:
Please contact the DWQ within three weeks of the date of this letter to verify that you have received this
letter and that you remain interested in continuing to pursue permitting of your project and will be
providing the DWQ the requested information at a later date. Please contact this office in writing. If we
do not hear from you within three weeks, we will assume that you no longer want to pursue this project
and we will consider the project as withdrawn.
This letter only addresses the application review and does not authorize any impacts to wetlands, waters
or protected buffers. Please be aware that any impacts requested within your application are not
authorized (at this time) by the DWQ. Please call Mr. Ian McMillan or me at 919-733-1786 if you have
any questions regarding or would like to set up a meeting to discuss this matter. /f
