REQUEST FOR MORE INFORMATION
Dear Mr. Thorp:
On February 27, 2007, the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) received your application dated February
25, 2007 to impact 5,154 square feet (ft2) of Zone 1 protected riparian buffers and 2,842 square feet (ft2)
of Zone 2 protected riparian buffers to construct the proposed pond. 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 wetland, streams
and/or buffers on the subject properly. Therefore, unless we receive the additional information requested
below, we will have to move toward denial of your application as required by 15A NCAC 2H .0506 and
2B .0233(8) 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:
Water Quality Certification
Please verify with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USAGE) if a permit is required for this
activity. Please state which Permit (Nationwide, Regional or General) number you intend to use if
applicable.
2. Preconstruction Notification (PCN) Form
You have submitted your information on an old version of the PCN form. Please resubmit 3 copies
your information on the March 2005 PCN form. You can download this format the following web

Buffer Impacts
In the table of uses in the Neuse Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 02B.0233(6}) ponds in a natural drainage
way are considered allowable if diffuse flow is provided through the buffers and a Zone 1 and Zone
2 planted buffer is established around the newly created pond.
• Please submit a detailed planting plan (which shall include a plan sheet showing the
location of the vegetation to be planted, a list of species to be used and when your one-time
fertilization in the buffers will occur). Noe Carolina

Also, please include details on the diffuse flow measure you will use at the site to ensure
stormwater is directed as diffuse flow through the newly created buffers. Be sure to include
all applicable worksheets and operation and maintenance agreements.
If you do not plan on replanting a buffer around the proposed pond, mitigation will be required. You
must submit a mitigation plan if you choose this option. If you plan to pay into a mitigation bank for
the buffer mitigation, you must submit an acceptance letter from the mitigation bank that states they
have the credits available.
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
authorized (at this time) by the DWQ. Please call Cyndi Karoly or Amy Chapman at 919-733-1786 if
you have any questions regarding or would like to set up a meeting to discuss th~,s matter.
