REQUEST FOR MORE INFORMATION
Dear Mr. Holdsworth:
On August 17, 2007, the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) received your application dated
August 16, 2007, to fill or otherwise impact 2801inear feet of perennial stream to construct the
proposed single and multi-family residential development. The DWQ has determined that your
application was incomplete and/or provided inaccurate information as discussed below. The
DWQ will require additional information in order to process your application to impact protected
wetlands and/or streams on the subject property. Therefore, unless we receive five copies of the
additional information requested below, we will have to move toward denial of your application
as required by 15A NCAC 2H .0506 and will place this project on hold as incomplete until we
receive this additional information. Please provide the following information so that we may
continue to review your project.
Additional Information Requested:
1. Please re-submit your site plans on full plan sheets at a scale of no smaller than 1"=50',
clearly locating all isolated or non-isolated wetlands, streams, and other Waters of the
State as overlays on the site plan.
2. This Office believes that the seven stream crossings labeled on the plans as Crossing 1-7
can be moved or reconfigured to avoid the impacts to the stream. Please revise the plans
to avoid the impacts.
3. Please provide detailed plan sheets for the proposed road crossings that clearly show the
road and fill slopes.

4. Please provide cross section details showing the provisions for aquatic life passage.
5. The DWQ can require stormwater management plans for developments that have, or are
anticipated to have, 30% or greater of impervious surface area within a WSII (Water
Supply II), HQW (High Quality Waters), or TR (trout) watershed. Furthermore, it is the
DWQ's policy that areas of concentrated development within a project must treat
stormwater runoff. Your project appears to contain areas of concentrated development
and therefore you will need to provide comprehensive stormwater management plans,
including all worksheets and calculations, that utilize extended detention stormwater
wetlands, bioretention areas, or wet detention ponds followed by level spreaders and
forested filter strips.
6. Please provide the location of any proposed stormwater management practices. as
required by GC3627.
Please submit this information within 30 calendar days of the date of this letter. If we do not
receive this requested information within 30 calendar days of the date of this letter, your project
will be withdrawn and you will need to reapply with a new application and a new fee.
This letter only addresses the application review and does not authorize any impacts to wetlands,
waters or protected buffers. Please be aware that any impacts requested within your application
are not authorized (at this time) by the DWQ. Please call Ms. Cyndi Karoly or Mr. Ian
McMillan at 919-733-1786 if you have any questions regarding or would like set up a meeting
to discuss this matter. //~~
