REQUEST FOR MORE INFORMATION
Dear Sir:
On August 3, 2011, the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) received your application dated July 28, 2011, to fill or
otherwise impact 2,500 square feet of open water below the normal pool lake level and 7,072 sqaure feet above the
normal pool lake level for the purpose of constructing a free public boating access area with a concrete launch ramp,
floating courtesy dock, and parking area. 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. Per the GC 3693,"if concrete is used during construction, then a dry work area should be maintained to prevent
direct contact between curig concrete and stream water. Water that inadvertently contact uncured concrete
should not be dishcarged to surface waters due to potential for elevated pH and possible aquatic life/fish
kills". Please explain how you will accomplish this during construction especially given the time of year
(October) you propose to start and potential for large rain events.
2. Once obtained, please provide DWQ with the lease agreement from Progress Energy. This project will be put
on hold (at your request) until the agreement is obtained.
Please submit this information within 30 calendar days of the date of this letter. Please send requested
information to DWQ Central Office, Attn: Karen Higgins, 1650 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-
