Re: Section 401 Water Quality Certification application
Dear Mr. Robertson:
On July 10, 2008, the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (DWQ) received an "after the fact" application
for a 401 General Water Quality Certification to impact 139 linear feet of stream to construct a road crossing for
the White Sulphur Springs Subdivision near Mount Airy 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. The Division has been made aware that the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) has
indicated that this project will not qualify for a Nationwide Permit as it is currently proposed.
This issue will require resolution before the Division can process your permit application.
Please respond in writing within 30 calendar days of the date of this letter by sending a copy of this information
to Sue Homewood at the address on this letterhead, and a copy to Ian McMillan N. C. Division of Water
Quality, Wetlands/401 Certification Unit, 1650 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-1650. If you will not
be able to provide the requested information within that timeframe, please provide written confirmation that you
intend to provide the requested information, and include a specific timetable delineating when the requested
materials will be provided. If we do not hear from you in 30 calendar days, we will assume that you no longer
want to pursue this project and we will consider the project as returned.
