Re: Section 401 Water Quality Certification application
Dear Mr. Jenkins:
On July 1, 2011, the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (Division) received a copy of your application for a 401
General Water Quality Certification to impact multiple streams and wetlands for the Little Troublesome Creek Mitigation
Project in Rockingham 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.
1. Field visits and discussions with the Division of Water Quality staff as well as other resource agencies in
2009 about this project revealed that this agency had significant concerns about proposed disturbances to
existing forested buffers. Please clarify whether the current design has been modified to address previous
concerns noted by this agency, or if not, please explain why not. If the plans have been modified, please
provide specific details and/or older versions of the design for documentation.
Please respond in writing within 30 calendar days of the date of this letter by sending a copy of this information to Sue
Homewood at the address on this letterhead, and a 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.
This letter only addresses the application review and does not authorize any impacts to wetlands, waters or protected
buffers. Please be aware that any impacts requested within your application are not authorized (at this time) by the
Division. If you have any questions, please contact me at 336-771-4964 or [e-mail].
