Ms. Hager,
On December 30, 2022, the Division of Water Resources (Division) received your application requesting a Buffer
Authorization 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 requests approval to clear 50 square feet within Zone 1 and 30 square feet within Zone 2;
however, a site inspection on November 16, 2022, found that 1500 square feet of Zone 1 and 1580 square feet
of Zone 2 had been cleared. Additional clearing was reported after the site inspection. Please clarify the correct
amount of proposed impacts. [15A NCAC 02B .0611(b)(1)(D)]
2. The application did not include a map showing the location and dimensions of the Catawba Buffer and proposed
disturbances to the Buffer. Please include a map with these items. [15A NCAC 02B .0611(b)(1)(F)]
3. The application did not include the purpose of the disturbance. Please include this item. [15A NCAC 02B
.0611(b)(1)(D)]
4. The application did not include an explanation of why the plan for the activity cannot be practically
accomplished, reduced, relocated, or reconfigured to avoid or better minimize disturbance to the riparian
buffer, preserve aquatic life and habitat, and protect water quality. Please include this item. [15A NCAC 02B
.0611(b)(1)(G)]
5. The application did not include plans for best management practices to be used to control the impacts
associated with the activity, such as ground stabilization techniques to prevent other Buffer impacts or water
quality violations to Lake Hickory. Please include this item. [15A NCAC 02B .0611(b)(1)(H)]
Pursuant to Title 15A NCAC 02B .0611(b)(3), the applicant shall furnish all of the above requested information for the
proper consideration of the application. Please provide your response by February 24, 2023. If all of the requested
information is not received, 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 appropriate fee.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Regards,
Joey
