Re: Section 401 Water Quality Certification application
Dear Mr. von Isenburg:
On July 8, 2008, the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (DWQ) received an application for a 401
General Water Quality Certification to impact 112 linear feet of stream to construct a road crossing for the
Ingleside Subdivision near Pilot Mountain in Surry County. Additional information is required in order that we
may determine your project's compliance with 15A NCAC 2H.0500. The DWQ will require this information
in order to process your application to impact protected wetlands and/or streams on the subject property.
Therefore, we will place this project on hold as incomplete until we receive this additional information, and if
we do not receive the additional information requested below, we will have to move toward denial of your
application as required by 15A NCAC 2H .0506. Please provide the following information so that we may
continue to review your project.
1. Please provide a profile view and cross section of the proposed stream culverts. Please also
submit detailed drawings indicating pipe burial and pipe alignment.
2. Per the requirements of GC 3705, please enumerate all temporary impacts (in addition to
permanent impacts already indicated) to the stream channel and any wetland areas. Temporary
impacts include areas of disturbance necessary for proper pipe installation, as well as any
impacts from temporary erosion control measures expected to be installed within any
jurisdictional areas. Please note that temporary impacts should be minimized to the maximum
extent practical.
