On November 14, 2019, the Division of Water Resources (Division) received your application requesting a 401 Water
Quality Certification from the Division for the subject project. The Division has determined that your application is
incomplete and cannot be processed. The application is on hold until the following items are addressed:
1. Please provide the Division a copy of your response to the December 4, 2019 comment email from the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers. [15A NCAC 02H .0506(b)]
2. Please provide the Division a copy of the approved jurisdictional determination map for the 445-acre parcel.
[15A NCAC 02H .0502(a)(9)]
3. Please provide additional details regarding how in -stream work, particularly the drilled piers for the bridge and
the investigative drilling, will be conducted so that the flowing stream does not come in contact with the
disturbed area as required in Condition 11.9 of General Water Quality Certifications 4132 and 4135. [15A NCAC
02H .0506(b)(3)]
4. Please explain why the gravel road access from the south cannot be improved to provide suitable access to

anticipated high flows of the river? If so, provide documentation of the analysis. If not, please provide
documentation that demonstrates that the causeway material will not move during storm events resulting in
unauthorized impacts. [15A NCAC 02H .0501 and .0502]
Pursuant to Title 15A NCAC 02H .0502(c), the applicant shall furnish all of the above requested information for the
