DWQ has placed this project on hold as incomplete until we receive this additional information and/or

^ Lack of permitting fee. Please note that beginning January 1, 1999, the N.C. General
Assembly passed legislation requiring payment of a fee for a11401 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. Please remit $475 to begin the review and approval process.
^ Incorrect permitting fee amount. Please see above item. Your check # 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.
® DWQ requires five (5) complete application sets to begin the review and approval process.
Please submit three (3) more application sets along with the requested fee.
® OTHER: In accordance with WQC #3631 (NW 18), wetland impacts of greater or equal to 1/3
of an acre east of I-95 and 1/10 of an acre west of I-95 require written notification to and
approval by the Division of Water Quality. All impacts, regardless of whether they are
permanent or temporary, are figured into the total. A tally of the area of impacts on page 6 of
the application reflects 0.384 acres thereby requiring a fee.
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. If we
do not hear from you within three weeks, we will assume that you no longer want to pursue this project
and we will consider the project as withdrawn.
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 Mr. Ian McMillan or me at 919-733-1786 if you have
any questions regarding or would like to set up a meeting to discuss this matter.
