Subject:Johnson, 5735 DREAM VIEW POINT - Request for Additional Information
On August 03, 2022, the Division of Water Resources (Division) received your application requesting a 401 Water Quality
Certification from the Division for the subject 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:
1. A portion of the subject property is located within the NC Catawba Buffer. As such, impacts within 50 ft to the
Lake are subject to NC Catawba Buffer Rules and must secure a Buffer Authorization from the NC Division of
Water Resource. Plans received with your application do not indicate the location of proposed impacts to the
Catawba Buffer. Please submit a site plan and locate all protected riparian buffers as overlays on the site plan,
clearly showing Zone 1 and Zone 2 of the Catawba Buffer. [15A NCAC 02B .0611(b)(1)(f)]
2. The shoreline stabilization application proposes impacts of 7500 square feet of impacts within the Catawba
Buffer. Please provide the total amount of temporary and permanent disturbance within Zone 1 and Zone 2 of
the Catawba Buffer. Ensure to indicate construction access corridors on revised site plans. [15A NCAC
02B .0611(b)(1)(f)]
3. Aerial imagery indicates the buffer zone on this parcel is currently forested. The plan received on August 03,
2022 proposes 7500 square feet of impacts to the Catawba Buffer. The Catawba Buffer within all temporary
construction access corridors and temporary disturbed areas must be restored to pre‐construction topographic
and hydrologic conditions and replanted with comparable vegetation within two months of when construction is
complete. Plans do not indicate replanting planned for this area. Please provide a replanting plan for all areas
with proposed temporary impact. The replanting plan should include a list of tree and understory species,
planting locations identified on a map, and a maintenance schedule to ensure the plantings survive.
Pursuant to Title 15A NCAC 02H .0502(e), the applicant shall furnish all of the above requested information for the
proper consideration of the application. Please respond in writing within 30 calendar days. If all of the requested
information is not received within 30 calendar days of receipt of this letter, the Division will be unable to approve the
application and it will be denied as incomplete. The denial of this project will necessitate reapplication to the Division
for approval, including a complete application package and the appropriate fee. Please be aware that you have no
authorization under the Section 401 of the Clean Water Act for this activity and any work done within waters of the
state may be a violation of North Carolina General Statutes and Administrative Code.
