REQUEST FOR MORE INFORMATION
Dear Mr. Carlisle:
On January 31, 2007, the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) received your After-The-Fact application
dated January 23, 2007 to impact 0.092 acres of 404/wetland to construct the proposed road 3 crossings
and bridge to provide access to the southwest portion of the subject property. The DWQ has determined
that your application was incomplete and/or provided inaccurate information as discussed below. The
DWQ will require five copies of the 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:
Per Condition No. 6 of General Certification 3404 (Nationwide 14), "Additional site-specific
stormwater management requirements may be added to this Certification at DWQ's discretion on
a case-by-case basis for projects that have or are anticipated to have impervious cover of greater
than 30 percent. Site-specific stormwater management shall be designed to remove 85% TSS
according to the latest version of DWQ's Stormwater Best Management Practices manual at a
minimum.
Additionally, in watersheds within one mile and draining to 303(d) listed waters, as well as
watersheds that are classified as nutrient sensitive waters (NSW), water supply waters (WS), trout
waters (Tr), high quality waters (HQW), and outstanding resource waters (ORW), the Division
shall require that extended detention wetlands, bio-retention areas, and ponds followed by
forested filter strips (designed according to latest version of the NCDENR Stormwater Best
Management Practices Manual) be constructed as part of the stormwater management plan when
asite-specific stormwater management plan is required.
Alternative designs may be requested by the applicant and will be reviewed on a case-by-case
basis by the Division of Water Quality. Approval of stormwater management plans by the

Division of Water Quality's other existing-state stormwater programs including appropriate local
programs are sufficient to satisfy this Condition as long as the stormwater management plans
meet or exceed the design requirements specified in this condition. This condition applies unless
more stringent requirements are in effect from other state water quality programs.
• Unless specified otherwise in the approval letter, the final, written stormwater management plan
shall be approved in writing by the Division of Water Quality's Wetlands Unit before the impacts
specified in this Certification occur.
• The facilities must be designed to treat the runoff from the entire project, unless otherwise
explicitly approved by the Division of Water Quality.
• Also, before any permanent building or other structure is occupied at the subject site, the
facilities (as approved by the Wetlands Unit) shall be constructed and operational, and the
stormwater management plan (as approved by the Wetlands Unit) shall be implemented.
• The structural stormwater practices as approved by the Wetlands Unit as well as drainage
patterns must be maintained in perpetuity.
• No changes to the structural stormwater practices shall be made without written authorization
from the Division of Water Quality."
Therefore, since your project contains over 30 percent impervious surface, you will need to
will need to provide the DWQ, at a minimum, a conceptual stormwater BMP plan which is
designed to treat and remove 85 percent TSS from the entire site.
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 Ken
Averitte of the DWQ Fayetteville 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
authorized (at this time) by the DWQ. Please call Ms. Cyndi Karoly or Mr. Ian McMil n at 919-733-
1786 if you have any questions regarding or would like to set up a meeting to discu~)~s matter.
