Jeff,

On September 13, 2021, the Division of Water Resources (Division) received your application
requesting a 401 Water Quality Certification from the Division for the subject property. The Division
has determined that your application is incomplete and cannot be processed. The application is on-
hold until the following information is received:

1. The proposed stream and wetland impacts are based on a 50 foot road corridor. However, in
order to meet avoidance and minimization requirements for a 401, please provide road
construction plans and details that demonstrate impacts are minimized to the maximum
extent practicable. This should include fill/cut slope limits, typical road section, etc. [15A NCAC
02H. 0506(b)(1)]

2. The project corridor is described as 948 linear feet x 50 feet. It is the Division’s understanding
that projects with greater than 1 acre of disturbance require a stormwater permit with
Buncombe County. Section E 2b of the PCN states that this project does not require a
stormwater management plan. Please contact Stormwater Administrator Victoria Hoyland
with Buncombe County Planning to determine if your project requires a stormwater permit.
[15A NCAC 02H. 0506(b)(3)] She can be reached at 828-250-4584 or via email at
[e-mail]. Ms. Hoyland was also copied on this email.

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
October 17, 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 complete application and the
appropriate fee.

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
