CERTIFIED MAIL - RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED
Dr. Greg Thorpe, PhD., Manager
Planning and Environmental Branch
North Carolina Department of Transportation
1598 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina, 27699 -1598
Subject: Proposed replacement of Bridge Nos. 29 and 30 over the Little Yadkin River on US 52 in Stokes County,
Federal Aid Project No.BRNHS- 52(25), TIP No. B -4645.
Dear Dr. Thorpe:
The Division of Water Quality has reviewed your submittal for a 401 Water Quality Certification for the
aforementioned project. Review of your application revealed it lacking necessary information required for making
an informed permit decision. The permit application was deficient in the following areas:
• Condition no. 9 of GC 3893 states that "Bridge deck drains shall not discharge directly into the stream" On
January 3, 2013, the Division requested a statement be added to the Stormwater Management Plan discussing
the presence or absence of deck drains. However, this request has not been answered. Please provide
documentation in the Stormwater Management Plan regarding deck drains.
Therefore, pursuant to 15A NCAC 2H .0507(a)(5), we will have to place the permit application on hold until we are
supplied the necessary information. You have 21 days to respond in writing with the requested information or
notification to this office that the information is forthcoming. If, at the end of the 21 days, this office has not
received this information in writing, we will assume you are withdrawing your application and it will be returned.
Furthermore, until the information is received by the NC Division of Water Quality, we request (by copy of this
letter) that the US Army Corps of Engineers place the permit application on hold.
If you have any questions or require additional information, please contact Amy Euliss at (336) 771 -4959 or
amy. euliss &cdenr. gov.
Sincerely,
. Charles Wakild
