Dear Mr. Woody:

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:

^ 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.
^ Incorrect permitting fee amount. Please see above item. Your cheek # for $
is herein enclosed for fee correction. DWQ does not retain any payment unless it is in the
correct amount.
^ A request for a modification of an issued permit requires re-submission of five (5) application
sets and appropriate fee. We have herein returned your modification request.
^ Application was missing pages or sections of information. See Other section below.
® OTHER: On page 8 of the PCN application, item # 3 adds up to 30501inear feet of stream
impact; however, the cumulative impacts indicates +/- 2000 linear feet. Please supply a
correct and matching stream impact number.
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 project and will be
providing the DWQ the requested information at a later date. Please contact this office in writing and

we will assume that you no longer want to pursue this project and we will consider the project as
withdrawn.

or protected buffers. Please be aware that any impacts requested within your application are not
authorized (at this time) by the DWQ. Please call Mr. Ian McMillan or Ms. Cyndi Karoly at 919-733-
