Subject: REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
High Hampton Redevelopment
Dear Mr. Schultz:
On August 10, 2020, the Division of Water Resources — Water Quality Programs (Division) received your
application fee to complete your request dated July 13, 2020 for a modification to the Individual Water
Quality Certification #WQC004212 issued by the Division on May 12, 2020 for your project. The
modification is requesting an after -the -fact approval for an additional 122 linear feet of stream impacts
and 0.02 acres of wetland impacts that have occurred beyond those approved in WQC#004212.
Upon review of your request, the Division has determined that your application is incomplete and
cannot be processed. The application is on -hold until all of the following information is received:
The modification application indicates that the new impact areas being requested were
previously proposed as impacts for golf holes 1 through 9. The application also notes that
through redesign these areas were proposed to be avoided. Please provide a copy of the
original detailed design of golf holes 1 through 9 which shows impacts to the areas noted in the
modification request, and a copy of the revised detailed design of golf holes 1 through 9 which
shows avoidance of impacts to the areas noted in the modification request. The Division is
unclear how the current proposal meets avoidance and minimization when the approved design
avoids impacts to these areas.
2. The Division is unclear how unexpected inconsistencies with contours align with proposed and
revised impacts/designs. Please further explain the unexpected inconsistencies which occurred
and explain how these inconsistencies are unique to this site within the project. In order to
ensure compliance with the Individual Water Quality Certification issued by the Division, it is
required that you provide a detailed list of all approved impacts indicating which impacts have
occurred to date. For any impacts that have not occurred as of the date of this letter, you are
