Dear Ms. Knight:
On June 12, 2006, the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) received your application dated June 12, 2006,
to impact 0.00115 acres of wetland restore a wetland at the subject property. 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 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 application included details of your proposal to plug a channel in order to facilitate wetland
restoration onsite. We assume that this is being performed for compensatory mitigation. If so,
please provide five (5) copies of the actual mitigation plan so that we can determine what portion
qualifies for wetland restoration, or if there is a combination of restoration, creation, enhancement
and preservation for future credit purposes. Is this mitigation work associated with a specific
project involving wetland impacts? Please note that your mitigation plan must include details of
hydrological, vegetative and soils data (empirical where applicable) involved in planning, as well as
a 5-year monitoring plan.
Please contact the DWQ within three weeks of the date of this letter to verify that you have received this
letter and that you remain interested in continuing to pursue permitting of your project and will be
providing the DWQ the requested information at a later date. Please contact me in writing and Eric Kulz
of the DWQ Raleigh Regional Office. If we do not hear from you within three weeks, we will assume
that you no longer want to pursue this project and we will consider the project as withdrawn.
This letter only addresses the application review and does not authorize any impacts to wetlands, waters
or protected buffers. Please be aware that any impacts requested within your application are not
