Re: Permit Application for proposed culvert replacement on SR 1548 in Chatham County
DWQ No. 021878
Dear Mr. Rosser:
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:
• The project as presently designed proposes a significant realignment of the existing road at Site 1. The new
alignment will result in significant impacts. However, the application presents no discussion that explains the
need for the additional impacts.
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. Furthermore, until the information is received by the NC Division of Water
Quality, we request (by copy of this letter) that the US Army Corps of Engineers place the permit application on
hold.
Hopefully, we can work together to expedite the processing of your permit application. If you have any questions or
require additional information, please contact John Hennessy at 919-733-5694.
