Dear Mr. Anderson,
I called the North Carolina Division of Water Quality today and spoke with Andrew Moore, because I was concerned
that I had not received any correspondence regarding the submitted Shoreline Application 20221440 version one. Mr.
Moore told me that you had sent an e‐mail to me at geolaw@verizon.net on November 18th 2022. I did not find that e‐
mail with a search in my inbox or spam or trash folders??. But Mr. Moore did send a copy of that e‐mail to me today
which I appreciate.
I do want you to know that I did send by USPS registered mail a paper application with all the questions answered to
the best of my ability which is copied above in a compressed PDF file which is enclosed . Let me know if you cannot open
the file.
I hope the questions not answered on the online application
will be answered in the paper application. I had sent the paper application by Registered Mail on ~October 15, 2022 to
Paul Wojoski
DWR‐401 Buffer Permitting Branch
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, NC 27699‐1617
Mr. Moore told me that he did not see that paper application in my file.
I will give you a call next week to clarify the application process. I have also included my telephone numbers below in
case you would like to reach me by phone.
Sincerely,
George Lawrence

Hello,
On October 20, 2022, the Division of Water Resources (Division) received your application requesting a 401 Water
Quality Certification from the Division for the subject project. The Division has determined that your application is
incomplete and cannot be processed. The application is on‐hold until all of the following information is received:
1. The application received for the subject project does not contain information regarding the type of
proposed shoreline stabilization, how work will be conducted, how proposed impacts have been avoided or
minimized, and calculated permanent impacts to surface waters. Please provide a detailed description of
the project. This document should include a detailed description of the proposed impacts to the shoreline
and surface waters, a description of any impacts to the protected Trout Buffer, a description of how work
will be conducted including all measures proposed to ensure compliance with NC Water Quality Standards.
[15A NCAC 02H .0502(a)(9)]
2. Provide a site plan showing the property boundaries, structures (buildings, docks, impervious surfaces, etc.),
location of the shoreline, location of the impacts to the shoreline and/or lake bottom (excavation, dredging,
rip rap, retaining walls, etc.), and the location of any vegetated areas that will be impacted (construction
access corridors, etc.). In most cases the site plans do not have to be professionally prepared. The template
located on pages 4‐5 of the help document linked below may be used to assist with this requirement. [15A
NCAC 02H .0502(a)(9)]

3. General Condition II.4 of GC 4502 requires that all construction activities shall be performed and maintained
in full compliance with G. S. Chapter 113A Article 4 ( Sediment and Pollution Control Act of 1973). Regardless
of applicability of the Sediment and Pollution Control Act, all projects shall incorporate appropriate Best
Management Practices for the control of sediment and erosion so that no violations of state water quality
3
standards, statutes, or rules occur. Design, installation, operation, and maintenance of all sediment and
erosion control measures shall be equal to or exceed the requirements specified in the most recent version
of the North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control Manual.
Plans received with your application do not indicate the location or type of planned erosion control
measures (silt fencing, temporary or permanent ground cover). Please indicate the type and location of all
planned sedimentation and erosion control measures proposed for the control of any sediment and erosion
onsite to ensure compliance with General Condition II.4 of GC 4502. [15A NCAC 02H . 0506( b)( 2); 15A NCAC
02H . 0507( c); 15A NCAC 02B . 0200; 15A NCAC 02B . 0231]
Pursuant to Title 15A NCAC 02H .0502(e), the applicant shall furnish all of the above requested information for the
proper consideration of the application. Please respond in writing within 30 calendar days. If all of the requested
information is not received within 30 calendar days of receipt of this letter, the Division will be unable to approve the
application and it will be denied as incomplete. The denial of this project will necessitate reapplication to the Division
for approval, including a complete application package and the appropriate fee. Please email all requested documents to
