REQUEST FOR MORE INFORMATION
Dear Mr. Longo:
On October 17, 2006, the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) received your application for a Major
Variance dated October 9, 2006 with additional information received on January 19, 2007 to impact 102
square feet of Zone 1 of the protected riparian buffer and 1,088 square feet of Zone 2 of the protected
riparian buffer for the already constructed portion of the house and driveway and to construct the
proposed staircase, deck and sunroom/patio at the above referenced site. 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 1 SA 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:
1. The Operation and Maintenance agreement that you provided for your proposed rain barrels was
not signed. Please complete and return the attached O&M agreement.
2. Please reconfigure your plans to avoid the impacts to Zone 1 of the buffers for the proposed deck
and staircase and to avoid or minimize the impacts to Zone 2 of the buffers for the proposed
sunroom.
Please respond within three weeks of the date of this letter by sending this information to me in writing
and Mike Horan 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withdrawn.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
