Dear Dr. Thorpe:
The Division of Water Quality (DWQ) 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:
• An Indirect and Cumulative Analysis is required for review of the project. Please provide the DWQ a
copy of the analysis.
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 @ncdenr.gov.
Sincerely,
Charles Wakild
Director
