REQUEST FOR MORE INFORMATION
Dear Sirs:
On September 25, 2008, the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) received your application dated
September 11, 2008, with additional information received by DWQ on November 5, 2008, December 12,
2008 and December 29, 2008 to impact 10,464 square feet (ft) of Zone 1 protected riparian buffers and
14,134 square feet of Zone 2 (ft) protected riparian buffers to construct the proposed canal, boardwalk,
trails from the lots and walkway to the boat docks and fishing platform. 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 place this project on hold as incomplete until we receive this
additional information. If we do not receive the requested information, your project will be formally
returned as incomplete. Please provide the following information so that we may continue to review your
project.
Additional Information Requested:
1. The elevation of the top of the stream bank does not appear to be correctly stated in the Level
Spreader Supplement Form. It appears that the buffer down slope of the level spreader becomes
quite steep. If the filter strip is too steep, please either redesign the riparian buffer to have
appropriate slopes or relocate the level spreader to a location where the filter strip slopes are
appropriate.
2. Zone 2 of the riparian buffer downslope of the level spreader must be allowed to secede to forest
vegetation. Therefore, this portion of the riparian buffer must be accounted for as forest
vegetation in the level spreader lip length.

revegetate the riparian buffer.
