SUBJECT: PROJECT ON HOLD FOR
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON
TOPSAIL COVE SUBDIVISION
DWQ PROJECT # 020712
Pender County
This Office has reviewed your application and has conducted a site visit and is placing your project on hold until
we receive the following additional information:
1) An overall site plan that shows avoidance and minimization for wetland impacts for the
wetlands indicated, on the signed plat by the Corps of Engineers, as Wetlands "B", "D", "F",
"H"and "G". Why must these wetlands be impacted? There looks to be enough width for a
driveway to access these lots and on "G" the placement of the house could be moved to avoid
any wetland impacts.
2) On what is shown as wetland "C" on the drawing labeled as Figure 2 Topsail Cove
Development Plan is actually a contiguous wetland on the signed plat by the Corps. Please
define the minimal impact needed for the development of the lot.
3) These separated wetlands can continue to function if you work with the stormwater section of
water quality and allow water to sheet flow into these areas. Please address how you will
continue to promote the viability of these wetlands as shown on the Plat as wetland "B" and
possibly wetlands "B", "D", "F","H" and "G".
4) Restrictive covenants are to be placed on remaining wetlands. A sample deed notification is
located on our website at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetiands/download.htmi.

Please respond within three weeks of the date of this letter by sending a copy of the information to myself and to
Cyndi Karoly, Raleigh Wetlands Unit [phone]. 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that you no longer want to pursue this project and we will consider the project as withdrawn. If you have any questions,
please feel free to call me at [phone].
