Subject: North Carolina Division of Water Quality 401 Water Quality Certification ON HOLD ACTION regarding
the proposed rail spur from the NCRR mainline to the Spirit Aerosystems site within the NC Global
TransPark in Lenoir County, TIP U-2928.
DWQ Project No. 19970093 v.2
Dear Ms. Waddell:
This letter is in reference to the application dated July 1, 2009 for the proposed rail spur from the NCRR mainline to
the Spirit Aerosystems site within the NC Global TransPark in Lenoir County. The purpose of the permitting
process is to solicit public input on the proposed reasonable and feasible alternatives. At this time, the NCDWQ has
not received an approved Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) statement. Once a FONSI statement has been
approved by the Federal Highway Administration, it must be distributed through the State Clearinghouse for
comment. Until this process is complete, pursuant to 15A NCAC 2H .0507 (a), this application is not considered
complete and does not qualify as the formal application for a 401 Water Quality Certification. Therefore, our 60-
day time limit has not been activated. We look forward to working with you in the future.
If you have any questions, please contact David Wainwright at [phone].
Sincerely,
gv/?
