We received your request for Section 401 Approval related to Project Gateway 85 – Aberdeen Blvd. Extension and
Lineberger Rd. Realignment, DWR # 20210448 version 1 on 2/24/2021.
This project requires a review fee in order to receive written approval and is currently on hold awaiting that fee before
being released for review. Your application is not considered complete until this payment is received and can be
returned as incomplete if the fee is left unpaid or notification of why the fee is being left unpaid is not communicated to
the proper staff.
We will process any form of payment outlined below, however our office staff is utilizing safer at home working
strategies. This means bringing a check directly into the office or mailing a check to our office may result in small delays
in processing. Advance notice of check payment is helpful in reducing the delay times. Online payments are still being
processed as soon as payments clear per normal procedure with electronic check processing incurring no additional
processing fees. Email is the fastest way to reach me if you have any questions or concerns. I would welcome the
chance to help you set up electronic payment as part of your application fee process.
