Dear Ms. Annino,
I am writing in response to your review comments related to the above listed project. We have minimized
the permanent impact by lessening the length of rip rap to the immediate locations of the water and sewer
utility crossings on the right bank only for a total permanent impact of 25 linear feet. This total permanent
impact length matches the length listed in the original PCN form and will provide adequate protection for
the pipelines. We have also made changes to address the comments in the September 23, 2021 NCWRC
letter. For review, please find attached revised Figures 2 and 3 which illustrate the revisions and changes
made. I have also attached Figure 1 for reference, which was included in the original submittal, but has
not changed. Please feel free to call on my cell or email me if you need anything further to complete the
review of this project. Thanks again for the deadline reminder, Victor
Regards,

Subject: DWR 20070741 Wade Hampton Golf Club - Request for Additional Information
On September 10, 2021, the Division of Water Resources (Division) received your application requesting
a 401 Water Quality Certification from the Division for the subject project, with the appropriate fee
received on September 13, 2021. The Division published the Public Notice on September 15, 2021, with
the Public Notice Comment Period ending on October 16, 2021. 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:
. The project proposes to replace existing water and sewer utility lines below the Whitewater River

(C; Tr) streambed via an open trench cut, with work performed in the dry. The submitted plans
also propose to impact the Whitewater River streambanks with approximately 40 LF of rip -rap
bank stabilization at the utility line crossing location. The Division considers the application of rip
rap rock to streambanks to be a permanent impact.
Please revise the submitted PCN and submitted impact plan sheet to account for the above
mentioned additional permanent impacts to streambanks at the site. The Division would consider
the current proposed plan to have a permanent impact of 40 linear feet.
• Please provide more details regarding avoidance and minimization of proposed rip rap impacts on the
left bank of the Whitewater River for this project. [15A NCAC 02H .0506(b)(1)]
The submitted plans appear to show existing erosion on the NC 107 side (right bank) of the stream and
shows existing native vegetation on the left bank, which doesn't appear to be eroding. This office believes
that the rip rap proposed for the left bank of the Whitewater River does not appear to be necessary, as
the streambanks are currently vegetated and stable. There also appears to be adequate space available
to stabilize the left bank of the Whitewater River after construction using native woody vegetation. Please
eliminate the rip rap on the left bank or provide additional information as to why it is necessary for this
project.
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 respond in writing within 30 calendar
days. If all of the requested information is not received within 30 calendar days of receipt of this letter, 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
package and the appropriate fee.
