PO Box 250
N. Wilkesboro, NC 28659
Subject: Proposed improvements to SR 1658 in Ashe County, State Project No. 110.005063.
Dear Mr. Pettyjohn:
The Division of Water Quality has reviewed your submittal fora 401 Water Quality Certification for the
aforementioned project. Review of your application revealed it lacking necessary information required
for making an informed permit decision. The permit application was deficient in the following areas:
• Justification is needed for the 155 feet of riprap listed for SR 1658. The bank is fully vegetated and
appears stable at this point. According to the plans, the road is getting shifted in the opposite
direction.
Therefore, pursuant to 15A NCAC 2H .0507(a)(5), we will have to place the permit application on hold
until we are supplied the necessary information. You have 30 days to respond in writing with the
requested information or notification to this office that the information is forthcoming. If, at the end of
the 30 days, this office has not received this information in writing, we will assume you are withdrawing
your application and it will be returned.
If you have any questions or require additional information, please contact Amy Euliss at [phone]
Sincerely,
