Subject: The replacement of Bridge No. 23 over Chinkapin Swamp on SR 1328 (Buncomb Rd) in Bertie County; State Project No,
1713P. I.R.66; DWR project number 20140322
Dear Mr. Willis:
The Division of Water Resources has reviewed your submittal for a 401 Water Quality Certification for the aforementioned project.
Review of your application revealed it lacking necessary information required for making an informed permit decision. The permit
application was deficient in the following areas:
• Stream Impacts. The drainage feature shown being piped in the northwest quadrant of the project is ajurisdictional stream.
These impacts have not been accounted for. Please minimize the impacts to this feature to the maximum extent practicable and
resubmit a PCN and plan sheets showing these impacts. Please also be aware that any pipe on this feature will need to meet the
proper pipe burial requirements.
Therefore, pursuant to 15A NCA,C 21-1.0507(a)(5), we will have to place the permit application on hold until we are supplied the
necessary information. You have 21 days to respond in writing with the requested information or notification to this office that the
information is forthcoming. If, at the end of the 21 days, this office has not received this information in writing, we will assume you
are withdrawing your application and it will be returned. Furthermore, until the information is received by the NC Division of Water
Resources, we request (by copy of this letter) that the US Army Corps of Engineers place the permit application on hold.
If you have any questions or require additional information, please contact Garcy Ward at [phone] or [e-mail].
Sincerely,
for T % mas Reeder
