^ 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.
^ 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 is making the suggestion that all associated project maps be submitted as a PDF file on
a CD in addition to two (2) paper copies. DWQ does require five (5) sets of the PCN
application.
® OTHER: DWQ has returned check #2389 for $475. The project impacts have not been noted
on page 8; with that information lacking, DWQ is unable to make a determination as to the
appropriateness of the fee. It may be returned with the requested information.
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and we will consider the project as withdrawn.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.
