Tyson,
On April 29, 2021, the Division of Water Resources (Division) received your application requesting a 401 Water Quality
Certification from the Division for the subject project. The Division has determined that your application is incomplete
and cannot be processed. The application is on -hold until all of the following information is received:
1. Please provide documentation or correspondence from the City of Asheville that demonstrates the requirement
to install the sidewalk along Pinecroft Road. [15A NCAC 02H .0506(b)(1)]
2. Perhaps I am missing something, but I am not following the numbers listed in Figures 6.1 and 6.2. There are call -
outs on both figures that propose 163 feet of culvert for the sidewalk, but the permanent stream impact
requested for the sidewalk is 149 feet. Why is the culvert length for the sidewalk longer than the stream impact
length by 14 feet? The table on Figure 6.2 indicates 190 feet of net impacts (219 (new pipe)-29 (existing
pipe)=190), but a total of 177 feet of new stream impacts are listed on the figure and in the impact table in the
PCN resulting in an apparent discrepancy of 13 feet. The PJD request indicates 190 feet of stream in the review
area. From the figures it appears that all, or nearly all, of the stream in the review area is proposed to be placed
in a culvert. Please clarify the apparent discrepancy in these numbers. [15A NCAC 02H .0502(a)(6)]
Pursuant to Title 15A NCAC 02H .0502(e), the applicant shall furnish all of the above requested information for the
proper consideration of the application. Please provide your response by May 26, 2021. If all of the requested
information is not received, the Division will be unable to approve the application and it will be denied as incomplete.
The denial of this project will necessitate reapplication to the Division for approval, including a complete application and
the appropriate fee.
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
