Jeff,
On January 25, 2022, the Division of Water Resources (Division) received your application requesting a 401 Water
Quality Certification from the Division for the subject project. 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:
1. Stream impact S1 is proposed in an area of stream that contains a significant meander. It appears that the
impact associated with this crossing could be minimized by moving the crossing slightly downstream, or farther
upstream above the meander. Please revise the plans to minimize the impact by avoiding the meander or
provide a detailed explanation of why this plan for the activity cannot be reconfigured to better minimize
impacts to the stream. [15A NCAC 02H .0506(b)(1)]
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 March 7, 2022. 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 a complete application
package and appropriate fee.
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
