provided inaccurate information as discussed below. The DWQ will require additional information in
order to process your application to impact protected wetlands and/or streams on the subject property.
Therefore, unless we receive five copies of the additional information requested below, we will have to
move toward denial of your application as required by 15A NCAC 2H .0506 and will place this project on

^ Lack of permitting fee. Please note that beginning January 1, 1999, the N.C. General
Assembly passed legislation requiring payment of a fee for all 401 applications. The fee for
applications is $200 for projects impacting less than an acre of wetland and less than 150
linear feet of streams. For projects impacting one or more acres of wetland or 150 or more
feet of streams, the fee is $475.
^ DWQ is making the suggestion that all associated project maps be submitted as a PDF file on
a CD in addition to two (2) paper copies. DWQ does require five (5) sets of the PCN
application.
® OTHER: A review of the application reflects a .OS acre of wetland impact thereby making it
subject to written concurrence by DWQ as a NW 12. Based on the Water Quality Certification
(WQC) #3625 item 6 states: "Impacts to any stream length in the Neuse, Tar-Pamlico,
Randleman and Catawba River Basins (or any other river basins with Buffer Rules in effect at
the time of application) requires written concurrence from DWQ in accordance with 15A
NCAC 2B.0233, .0259, .0250 and .0243. Please remit $200 permitting application fee to
begin the review and approval process.
Please contact the DWQ within three weeks of the date of this letter to verify that you have received this
letter and that you remain interested in continuing to pursue permitting of your project and will be
providing the DWQ the requested information at a later date. Please contact this office in writing. If we
do not hear from you within three weeks, we will assume that you no longer want to pursue this project
and we will consider the project as withdrawn.
This letter only addresses the application review and does not authorize any impacts to wetlands, waters
or protected buffers. Please be aware that any impacts requested within your application are not
authorized (at this time) by the DWQ. Please call Mr. Ian McMillan or me at9-733-1786 if you have
any questions regarding or would like to set up a meeting to discuss this matt
