Subject: Hwy. 16, Garmon Site
Dear Mr. Garmon:
The Division of Water Quality (DWQ) received your application fora 401 Water Quality Certification for
the subject project on August 29, 2006. Mr. Alan Johnson of this office has reviewed the application and the
following information is needed by this office in order to complete our review:
a) A site plan for the development. The application states the impact is for future development, this is
not sufficient.
b) A detailed diagram (plan view, cross section, and profile) for any proposed stream crossing(s) at the
development. The design for the road crossings needs to show how the low/base flow stream
channel immediately upstream and downstream of the culvert will be maintained. A seal inside the
culvert and construction of a floodplain bench may be required to prevent over widening of the
channel.
c) A topo map of the site.
d) Stream impacts 1501inear feet or greater require mitigation. Documentation of acceptance to the
Ecosystem Enhancement Program or the submittal of a stream restoration plan is required prior to
issuance of a 401 certification.
e) Stream channel in which the streambed was "prepared" for the placement of culverts but will not be
utilized must be restored. If this is the case, please submit a plan for restoring the stream channel.
f) The stormwater basin observed in the stream during the site visit by DWQ is not allowed. The site
plan should show the basin relocated where it is no longer "on-line".
Pursuant to 15A NCAC 2H .0507(h), please be advised that this project will be placed on hold until such
time as the requested information has been received. In addition, this office is requesting that the Army Corps
of Engineers withhold processing the 404 permit until the requested information is provided.
