® PERMITTING FEE MISSING/INCORRECT
Dear Mr. Andes:
On September 4, 2007, the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) received your application dated August 29,
2007 for the above referenced project.
® Important notice: 401 Certification/Isolated Wetlands Permits Fee Increase -The North
Carolina General Assembly approved an increase for application fees for all regulatory
programs administered by DWQ, effective July 1, 2007. However, please note that this
does not mean that the increased application fees for the 401 Certification/Isolated
Wetlands Permit Programs will be retro-active to July 1, 2007. The Director of DWQ
determined that the fee increase will specifically become effective for the 401 Program
on September 1, 2007. All applications received as of September 1, 2007 will be subject
to the new fee schedule.
The fee for applications is $240 for projects impacting less than an acre of wetland and less than
150 linear feet of streams (whether intermittent or perennial). For projects impacting one or more
acres of wetland or 150 or more feet of streams (whether intermittent or perennial) the fee is
$570. The correct fee amount to remit is $570.
Please contact the DWQ within three weeks of the date of this letter to verify that you have received this
letter and that you remain interested in continuing to pursue permitting of your project and will be
providing the DWQ the requested information at a later date. Please contact this office in writing. If we
do not hear from you within three weeks, we will assume that you no longer want to pursue this project
and we will consider the .project as returned.
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 Mr. Ian McMillan or me at 919-733-1786 if you have
any questions regarding or would like to set up a meeting to discuss this matter.
