Ut to Tar River [030301, 28-(24.7), WSV, NSW]
REQUEST FOR MORE INFORMATION
Dear Sir or Madam:
On Jure 2~; 2007, the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) received your application dated Apri130, 2007
to permanently impact 0.018 acres of 404/wetland, temporarily impact 0.71 acres of 404/wetland,
permanently impact 80 linear feet of perennial stream, and permanently impact 3,600 square feet (ft2) of
Zone 1 of the Tar-Pamlico River basin protected riparian buffers and 4,000 square feet (ftZ) of Zone 2 of
the Tar-Pamlico River basin protected riparian buffers, to construct sewer line improvements at the site.
On July 20, 2007, the DWQ received additional information from you, however, the DWQ has
determined that your application remains incomplete and/or provided inaccurate information as discussed
below. The DWQ will require additional information in order to process your application to impact
protected wetland, streams and/or buffers on the subject property. Therefore, unless we receive the
additional information requested below, we will have to move toward denial of your application as
required by 15A NCAC 2H .0506 and 2B .0233(8) and will place this project on hold as incomplete until
we receive this additional information. Please provide the following information so that we may continue
to review your project.
Additional Information Requested:
1. You indicated in your correspondence dated July 20, 2007, and received by the DWQ on July 20,
2007, that impacts for the project have been reduced. Please submit updated impact tables from
your Pre-Construction Notification application.
As previously requested, DWQ's rules require that we certify that the project will not result in
"cumulative impacts, based on past or reasonably anticipated future impacts, that cause or will
cause a violation of downstream water quality standards" NCAC 2H .0506(b)(4), and therefore,
we requested a qualitative secondary and indirect cumulative impact analysis be performed and
submitted to the DWQ. Alternatively, one way to address this concern is to have the Town of
Louisburg commit to requiring on-site stormwater management measures (such as level
spreaders, bioretention or constructed wetlands) for the additional development when those
parcels are developed. However, the Division is open to other approaches that would give us
the assurance that downstream water quality would be protected from the cumulative impacts of
this project.
