Dear Ms. Karoly:
We are submitting the additional information requested from written
correspondence on June 26, 2006. We are requesting for NC Division of Water
Quality (NCDWQ) written approval under Section 401, Clean Water Act, 33 USC 1344.
This will assist in compliance with Water Quality Certification (WQC) 3402 and it's
accompanying Nationwide Permit (NWP) 39. We have addressed your included written
comments in the following paragraphs.
1. Level Spreaders -Earthen level spreaders are not an acceptable
diffuse flow structure. Please revise your plans showing an
approvable level spreader device.
According to the current DWQ October 10, 2001 "Draft Level Spreader
Design Options Version 1.0," the proposed earthen level spreaders meet all of the
criteria outlined. The engineering plans submitted on April 21 clearly show the
materials and specifications for each level spreader on Drawing C3 (Storm
Drainage and Erosion Control Plan). Immediately after construction, the level
spreaders will be seeded with permanent erosion control seed to facilitate
stabilization. According to the previously signed and submitted "Operation and
Maintenance Agreement" for the on-site stormwater structures, the level spreaders
will be regularly monitored and maintained to ensure sheet flow into the Neuse
River Buffer areas.
Additionally, according to rules [15A NCAC 2H .0507 (A)], if final action is not
taken within 60 days, the Certification is waived unless DWQ has objected in writing to
your application. The above level spreader information was previously submitted.
Therefore, the 401 Water Quality Certification's time limit for final action has passed.
