Subject: Request for Additional Information
Chip Hills Lot 4 Bank Stabilization
Dear Mr. Hills
The Division of Water Resources (Division) has performed a preliminary review of a 401 Water Quality
Certification application submitted for the above referenced 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:
Item 8. In the application proposes 1,045 feet of shoreline stabilization. General permit No.
198200030 conditions prescribe that bulkhead and rip -rap alignments will not extend farther
water ward than an average distance of two (2) feet, maximum distance of five (5) feet from the
normal pool elevation contour and may not extend more than 500 feet along a shoreline.
Provide appropriate information regarding any approval by the Corp of Engineers for the
proposed shoreline stabilization that exceeds 500 feet and additional explanation as to why
1,045 feet of stabilization is needed.
In January, 2007, a 401 WQC was issued for 461 feet of impact for shoreline stabilization at this
location. Please explain if there is any correlation between this existing impact and the new
proposed impact?
If all of the requested information is not received in writing within 30 calendar days of receipt of this letter, the
Division will be unable to approve the application and it will be returned. The return of this project will
necessitate reapplication to the Division for approval, including a complete application package and the
appropriate fee.
