Dear Mr. Andrews,
On September 12, 2001, the Water Quality Committee (WQC) of the Environmental Management Commission
(EMC) approved with the conditions listed below your Major Variance Request to impact approximately 80 feet of
intermittent stream channel and its associated riparian buffers to construct the proposed commercial development as
described within your Major Variance Request dated August 15, 2001. As stated within our letter to you dated August 30,
2001, written concurrence from this office for the use of DWQ General Certification Number 3287 (GC3287) (assuming that
you choose to use the US Army Corps of Engineers (USAGE) Nationwide Permit (NWP) No. 39 to impact the stream) is
required prior conducting the activities approved under the Major Variance. To obtain this written concurrence you will
need to submit seven copies of the Pre-Construction Notification Application Form. (PCN) to this office. A permit
application fee of $200 will be required for the PCN submittal. You can download a digital copy of the PCN and obtain
additional information concerning GC3287 and other certifications from our web site address listed below. In addition, you
most likely will be required to submit a copy of this form to the USACE for approval of NWP39. You should contact the
USACE Raleigh Regulatory Field Office at 919-876-8441regarding this.
Conditions required by the WQC for the approval of the Major Variance include the following.
A final, written stormwater management plan shall be approved in writing by this Office before the impacts specified in
the Major Variance Approval occur. The stormwater management plan must include plans and specifications for
stormwater management facilities designed to remove 85% TSS according to the most recent version of the NC DENR
Stormwater Best Management Practices Manual. The stormwater management plan must include at least a sand filter
stormwater management facility that meets DWQ specifications as required by the WQC. These facilities must be
designed to treat the runoff from the entire project, unless otherwise explicitly approved by the Division of Water
Quality (DWQ). Also, before any permanent building is occupied at the subject site, the facilities (as approved by this
Office) shall be constructed and operational, and the stormwater management plan (as approved by this Office) shall be
implemented. The structural stormwater practices as approved by this Office as well as drainage patterns must be
