REQUEST FOR MORE INFORMATION
Dear Sir or Madam:
On May 22, 2006, the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) received your application dated May
18, 2006, to impact 0.12 acres of wetland and 490 linear feet of perennial stream to improve
Bowen Boulevard. 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 resubmit your plans for relocating 155.5 linear feet of an unnamed tributary to
Brushy Fork Creek. The present proposal is for the relocation to consist of a rip rap lined
channel for the entire length. The existing stream has good form and function, which will
be lost with the use of a rip rap lined channel. This Office believes the City of Winston-
Salem can utilize natural stream channel design for this relocation. Please resubmit your
plans showing a properly designed natural channel. In addition, please include a
stolmwater management plan, which will ensure that stormwater is not discharged via
pipe directly into the relocated channel.
Please contact the DWQ within three weeks of the date of this letter to verify that you have
received this letter and that you remain interested in continuing to pursue permitting of your

from you within three weeks, we will assume that you no longer want to pursue this project and

waters or protected buffers. Please be aware that any impacts requested within your application
