CERTIFIED MAIL: RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED

Subject Property: Rolesville Public Sewer Outfall
Ut to Harris Creek [030402, 27-26, C, NSW]
REQUEST FOR MORE INFORMATION
Dear Mr. Shearon:
On March 1, 2007, the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) received your application dated February 26,
2007, (with more information received on March 7, 2007), to fill or otherwise impact 53 linear feet of
perennial stream and 3,448 square feet of Zone 1 Neuse River basin protected riparian buffers and 52,155
square feet of Zone 2 Neuse River basin protected riparian buffers to construct the proposed residential
subdivision. 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 five copies of 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:
Please provide a 1 "=50' scale site plan of the impact areas that clearly shows the contours of the
stream.
As you probably know, DWQ's rules require that we certify that the project will not result in
"cumulative impacts, based on past or reasonably anticipated future impacts, that cause or will
cause a violation of downstream water quality standards" NCAC 2H .0506(b)(4). In reviewing
your plans, it appears installation of this proposed sewer improvement project is in response to
additional growth within several tracts. With respect to cumulative impacts, the Preconstruction
Notification (PCN -Section XIV, of the March 2005 version) form for the project asks,
"Will this project (based on past and reasonably anticipated future impacts) result in additional
development which could impact nearby downstream water quality? Yes or No If yes, please submit a
qualitative or quantitative cumulative impact analysis in accordance with the most recent North Carolina
Division of Water Quality policy posted on our website at:

Although, you have partially addressed this question within your submitted PCN, in reviewing
your plans, it appears installation of this proposed sewer improvement project is in response to
additional growth within several tracts, therefore, there may be additional wetland and stream
impacts in order to develop these parcels and the stormwater from these developments have the
may cause a violation of downstream water quality standards.
Therefore, we will place this project on hold for incomplete information until the cumulative
impacts of this project are adequately addressed. Alternatively, one way to address this concern
is to have the Town of Rolesville commit to requiring on-site stormwater management measures
(such as level spreaders, bioretention or constructed wetlands) for the additional development
when those parcels are developed. However, the Division is open to other approaches that would
give us the assurance that downstream water quality would be protected from the cumulative
impacts of this project.
Please contact the DWQ within three weeks of the date of this letter to verify that you have received this
letter and to provide us with a date that we may expect to receive this requested information. If we do not
receive this requested information within one week of the date you indicate it will be forthcoming, your
project will be withdrawn and you will need to reapply with a new application and a new fee. Please
contact me in writing and Lauren Cobb 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
authorized (at this time) by the DWQ. Please call Ms. Cyndi Karoly or Mr. Ian Millan at 919-733-
1786 if you have any questions regarding or would like to set up a meeting to di ss this matter.
