PROJECT REVIEW IN TEMPORARY ABEYANCE
Dear Mr. Keefe:
On March 22, 2012, the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) received your
application dated March 14th to impact an additional 0.35 acres of Zone 1 on
the subject property. DWQ has concerns regarding the available buffer
mitigation on the Mussel Run restoration site. Recent site visits to the restoration
site have raised concerns regarding the success of the stream restoration and
therefore the riparian buffer credits available. The DWQ will require additional
information in order to process your application. Therefore, unless we receive
the additional information requested below, we will have to move toward return
of your application as required by 15A NCAC 2H .0506 and 15A NCAC 2B.0233.
This 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:

It appears that the stream restoration at the Mussel Run restoration site
which was part of the required mitigation for impacts at Cutter Creek
Subdivision may not have met its stream restoration success criteria. It is
necessary to coordinate with the USACE and DWQ regarding evaluation of
the mitigation site proposed to be utilized for additional buffer impacts. Until
the success of the stream restoration is determined, DWQ cannot process
any application to increase impacts utilizing this site as mitigation.
Please respond within 30 days of the date of this letter by contacting me in
writing at the DWQ Washington Regional Office. This may be accomplished by
email.
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
DWQ. Please call Amy Adams or Anthony Scarbraugh of the Washington
Regional Office at 252 - 946 -6481 if you have any questions regarding or would like
to set up a meeting to discuss this matter.
incerely,
