DWQ Project # 001231
You have our approval to construct a pedestrian bridge over Steep Hill Creek in Wake County which will impact 10 feet
of stream channel and the associated riparian buffers, as you described in your application received by the Division of Water
Quality on September 15, 2000. After reviewing your application, we have decided that this project is covered by Neuse
Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 2B .0233). In addition, you should get any other federal, state or local permits before you go ahead
with your project including (but not limited to) Sediment and Erosion Control, Coastal Stormwater, Non-Discharge and Water
Supply Watershed regulations.
This approval is only valid for the purpose and design that you described in your application. If you change your
project, you must notify us and you may be required to send us a new application. If the property is sold, the new owner must
be given a copy of this approval letter and is thereby responsible for complying with all conditions.
If you do not accept any of the conditions of this approval, you may ask for an adjudicatory hearing. You must act
within 60 days of the date that you receive this letter. To ask for a hearing, send a written petition, which conforms to Chapter
150B of the North Carolina General Statutes to the Office of Administrative Hearings, P.O. Box 27447, Raleigh, N.C. 27611-
7447. This approval and its conditions are final and binding unless you ask for a hearing.
This letter completes the review of the Division of Water Quality under the Neuse River Buffer Rules. If you have any
questions, please telephone John Dorney at 919-733-9646.

On September 15, 2000, your application for 401 Water Quality Certification for a
project in Wake County was received by the N.C. Division of Water Quality. Please note
that beginning January 1, 1999, the N.C. General Assembly passed legislation requiring
payment of a fee for all 401 applications. Your application is being returned since no
payment was received with the package. The fee for applications is $200 for projects
impacting less than an acre of wetland and less than 150 linear feet of streams. For
projects impacting one or more acres of wetland or 150 or more feet of streams, the fee is
$475. In order for DWQ to review and process your request, you must send a check in
the appropriate amount made payable to the N.C. Division of Water Quality attached to
the application.
Please call Robert Ridings or Cyndi Karoly at 919-733-1786 or visit our web site
at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwet]aiids if you have any questions.
