Project # 20171099)
Bill and Alan,
Thanks for driving down last week and meeting me and Andrea to discuss the subject project. As we discussed on-site,
there is some additional information I will need to process the 401 Water Quality Certification. The Division will place
the project on hold until the following items are addressed:
Condition 11.9. of Water Quality General Certification 4087 requires that all work in streams be conducted so that
the flowing stream does not come in contact with the disturbed area. Please explain how you plan to meet this
condition. If this condition cannot be met, please describe the construction techniques and sequencing that will
be used to minimize turbidity and sedimentation during in -stream construction activities.
During the site visit, several design changes were discussed and agreed upon. Please re -submit the design
drawings showing the revisions or provide a narrative description of the design changes including station
location.
Pursuant to Title 15A NCAC 02H .0502(c), the applicant shall furnish all of the above requested information for the
proper consideration of the application.
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
Thanks,
Andrew W. Moore, P.G.
