Dear Mr. Matthews:
G?
On March 7, 2011, the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) received your application dated March 3, 2011
to impact 100 square feet (ft) of Zone 1 protected riparian buffers and 0 square feet (ft) of Zone 2
protected riparian buffers to remove bamboo and pampas grass and replace with mulch and boxwood
bushes. 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 place this project on hold as
incomplete until we receive this additional information. If we do not receive the requested information,
your project will be formally returned as incomplete. Please provide the following information so that we
may continue to review your project.
Additional Information Requested:
1. There appears to be mature trees in the area of proposed clearing and mulching. Please clarify
whether those trees are being proposed for removal.

once planted. Please revise your plan sheets to remove the excess mulch.

color). If the plans are too large to store in TIFF fomat, they can be stored in PDF format.
Please respond in writing within 30 calendar days of the date of this letter by sending a copy of this
information to me. 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, acid include a
specific timetable delineating when the requested materials will be provided. If we do not hear from you
