Re: Section 401 Water Quality Certification application
Dear Mr. Noland:

DWQ# 10-0852
Wilkes County
On October.18, 2010, the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (Division) received a copy of your application for a
401 General Water Quality Certification to temporarily impact 20 feet of Moravian Creek for the Wilkes Community
College Sewer Replacement Project in Wilkesboro, NC in Wilkes County. Additional information is required in order
that we may determine your project's compliance with 15A NCAC 2H.0500. The Division will require this information
in order to process your application to impact protected wetlands and/or streams on the subject property. Therefore, we
will place this project on hold as incomplete until we receive this additional information, and if we do not receive the
additional information requested below, we will have to move toward denial of your application as required by 15A
NCAC 2H.0506. Please provide the following information so that we may continue to review your project.
Per the requirements of GC 3819, all work must be done "in the dry". Therefore, dewatering methods will be
necessary to temporarily de-water the stream channel during pipe installation. Please provide a construction
sequence that details the method of dewatering to be utilized at the site and the sequence of construction
events to be followed to ensure compliance with this condition.
Please provide a construction sequence and details (plans/drawings) that detail the restoration of the
temporary impact area upon completion of the project.
Please respond in writing within 30 calendar days of the date of this letter by submitting two copies of this information;
one copy should be submitted to Sue Homewood at the address on this letterhead, and one copy to Ian McMillan N. C.
Division of Water Quality, Wetlands/401 Certification Unit, 1650 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-1650. If you
will not be able to provide the requested information within that timeframe, please provide written confirmation that you
intend to provide the requested information, and include a specific timetable delineating when the requested materials will
be provided. If we do not hear from you in 30 calendar days, we will assume that you no longer want to pursue this
project and we will consider the project as returned.
