Re: Permit Application for the proposed improvements to SR 1152 (Holly Springs Road) in Wake County
DWQ No. 030420
Dear Mr. Nance:
The Division of Water Quality has reviewed your submittal fora 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:
• The project proposes new impacts to 521inear feet of stream at Site 1. In accordance with 15A NCAC 2B
.0233, this project is subject to the diffuse flow requirements for impacts to Neuse River Riparian Buffers.
Please provide a new design that shows how NCDOT plans to provide diffuse of stormwater at non-erosive
velocities through the riparian buffers.
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. 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.
Hopefully, we can,work together to expedite the processing of your permit application. If you have any questions or
require additional information, please contact John Hennessy at 919-733-5694.
