REQUEST FOR MORE INFORMATION
Dear Mr. Chadwick:
On June 20, 2007, the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) 401 Oversight/Express Permitting Unit received
your minor variance application dated June 13, 2007, with additional information received on August 8,
2007, regarding your request for a Minor Variance from the Neuse Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 2B .0233)
for the subject property. The DWQ is required to prepare a "preliminary finding" /"finding of fact" as to
whether the variance request meets the requirements of 15A NCAC 02B .0233(9)(a). The DWQ may
attach conditions to a variance approval that support the purpose, spirit and intent of the riparian buffer
protection program. Conditions usually include stormwater management and buffer mitigation.
Additional information will be required before we can proceed with the review of your variance request.
Therefore, unless additional information is provided as described below, we will have to move toward
denial of your request per 15A NCAC 2B .0233 and will place this project on hold as incomplete until we
receive this additional information.
Additional Information Requested:
Buffer Mitigation
Buffer mitigation will be required as a condition if you choose to proceed with the Minor Variance.
If you choose to proceed with a variance, then please provide a buffer mitigation plan pursuant to
15A NCAC 02B .0233. If you choose to pay into a mitigation bank for the required mitigation, please
provide an acceptance letter from the mitigation bank demonstrating they have the available
mitigation credits.
Please respond in writing within three weeks of the date of this letter by sending a copy of this
information to me and to Lauren Cobb of the DWQ Raleigh Regional Office. If we do not hear from you
in writing within three weeks, we will assume that you no longer want to pursue your variance request
