REQUEST FOR MORE INFORMATION
Dear Sir or Madam:
On September 25, 2007, the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) received your application dated
September 18, 2007, to fill or otherwise impact 245 linear feet of intermittent stream and 14,882
square feet of Zone 1 Neuse River basin protected riparian buffers and 10,868 square feet of
Zone 2 Neuse River basin protected riparian buffers to construct the proposed commercial
development. The DWQ has determined that your application was incomplete and/or 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 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:
Your proposed fill of a buffered stream cannot be permitted as designed without a Major
Variance approval from the Environmental Management Commission (EMC), which
would not be likely. Therefore, this Office recommends you re-design your project to
avoid these impacts and re-submit a revised PCN and plans at a scale of no smaller than
1 "=50' which include the location of proposed stormwater BMPs and existing site
conditions (all surface waters, Zone 1 and Zone 2 buffers, sewer lines, utility lines and
topographic contours).
