On April 19, 2007, the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) received your application dated April 3, 2007, for the
above referenced project. 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. Your project will be placed 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:
® Water Quality Certification, See I. Processing, Item 2.. Please state which Permit (Nationwide,
Regional or General) number you intend to use. You may want to contact the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers (USAGE) to determine which permit they will allow you to use. The Asheville Regulatory
Field Office number is: [phone].
^ DWQ requires the name of an individual shown as "Owner/Applicant" to set up the project.

DWQ is unable to review this project without noted or corrected impacts reflected.
® Lack of permitting fee. Please note that beginning January 1, 1999, the N.C. General Assembly passed
legislation requiring payment of a fee for all 401 applications. The fee for applications is $200 for
projects impacting less than an acre of wetland and less than 150 linear feet of streams. For projects
impacting one or more acres of wetland or 150 or more feet of streams, the fee is $475.
