Dear Mr. Blair:
On April 23, 2007, the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (DWQ) received your application for a
401 General Water Quality Certification to cumulatively impact 144 linear feet of an unnamed tributary to
Hamby Creek in order to construct a road crossing and a sewer line crossing to serve the proposed Harris
Farms residential subdivision located on Fisher Ferry Road near Thomasville in Davidson County. Based
on the information provided in your application, additional information is required in order that we may
determine your project's compliance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500. Unless otherwise specified, please provide
five (5) copies of the following information:
1. In Section I., Processing, Item 1, please indicate if you are seeking a Section 404 Permit from
the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers, and if so, please indicate in Item 2 which Permit
(Nationwide, General, or Regional) you are requesting from the Corps.
2. Based on information you have provided in Section XL, Stormwater, the total impervious
surface of your project at buildout (~4.0 acres) will exceed 30% of the total project area 010.2
acres). Therefore, a final, written stormwater management plan must be approved in writing by
this Office before the impacts specified in this authorization occur, per condition No. 4 in
General Certification 3631. Please provide a comprehensive stormwater management plan that
includes plans and specifications for stormwater management facilities which are appropriate
for surface waters that are classified as Class C. These facilities must be designed to remove, at
a minimum, 85% Total Suspended Solids according to the most recent version of the NC DENR
Stormwater Best Management Practices Manual. These facilities must be designed to treat the
runoff from the entire project unless otherwise explicitly approved by the Division of Water
Quality.
