REQUEST FOR MORE INFORMATION
Dear Mr. Carpenter:
On September 10, 2007, the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) 401 Oversight/Express Permitting Unit
received your application dated June 6, 2007 regarding your request for a Minor Variance from the Neuse
Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 2B .0233) for the subject property. The Division of Water Quality (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:
1. Buffer Impacts
Please submit a revised plan sheet labeling the square footage of impact to Zone 2 of the
protected buffers for your retaining wall.
2. Stormwater Management
Stormwater management will be required as a condition for your Minor Variance. Please provide
a detailed stormwater management plan depicting how you intend to treat the stormwater running
off the impervious surface from the retaining wall. Please include all applicable worksheets and
O&M agreements.
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
