Dear Mr. Dalton:
On September 7, 2021, the Division of Water Resources (Division) received your application requesting a
401 Water Quality Certification and Jordan Buffer Authorization from the Division for the subject
project.
The Division had determined that your application is incomplete and cannot be processed.Therefore on
September 23, 2021 the Division put the project On Hold and sent a letter to you requesting additional
information in order to continue the application review. Shortly after,the US Corps of Engineers
Raleigh Regulatory Office also placed the project On Hold, with a request for more information sent
October 6, 2021.
The Division's request stated that if the applicant must provide the required information within 30 days.
As of today, no information has been received by the Division. Therefore, pursuant to Title 15A NCAC
02H .0507(a)(3) and 15A NCAC 02B.0267,we are denying the permit application. Furthermore, we
request that the US Army Corps of Engineers continue keeping the permit application on hold. Once you
have addressed the needed requirements of both the Division of Water Resources and the US Army
Corps of Engineers,you will need to reapply to the Division for approval including a complete application
package and appropriate fee.
Please be aware that you have no authorization under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act, nor under
the Jordan Riparian Buffer Rules,for this activity.Any work done within waters of the state would be a
violation of North Carolina General Statutes and Administrative Code.
