Jeff,
On July 26, 2022, the Division of Water Resources (Division) received your application requesting a 401 Water Quality
Certification from the Division for the subject project. Additional information in support of the project was received
August 25, 2022. 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. The response to request 3 does not adequately demonstrate how hydrology will be maintained in the wetlands
not proposed for impact. It's not clear how the project will be able to allocate run off to the wetlands while
meeting post -construction stormwater requirements. Please provide additional clarification. If it is not
adequately demonstrated that hydrology will be maintained in the wetlands not proposed for impact, the
Division will consider that a secondary impact that will be counted toward impact totals. [15A NCAC 02H
.0506(b)(3)]
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 provide your response by September 29, 2022. If all of the requested
information is not received, 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 appropriate fee.

Andrew,
Thank you for the comments. Please see below for our response to each comment in order below:
1. The Pre -Construction Notification (PCN) is un-signed. Please provide a signed PCN. [15A NCAC 02H .0502(a)(11)]
Response: Signed PCN form is attached.
2. Please provide addition information regarding how many vehicles are anticipated to be stored on the property
and how it was determined that 34.2 acres of parking surface area is required. [15A NCAC 02H .0506(b)(1)]
Response: The storage capacity projections could vary from 3,500 on average to 5,100 vehicles at peak times.
34.2 acres allows the capacity of 5,100 vehicles with the current layout of storage rows and drive isles.
3. Please describe how wetland hydrology will be maintained in the wetlands and streams downgradient of the
proposed wetland fill areas as well as in the wetland upgradient of proposed impact W4, particularly considering
stormwater will be routed away from the streams and wetlands not proposed for impact. [15A NCAC 02H
.0506(b)(3)]
Response: The wetland hydrology (for wetlands not proposed for impact) will be maintained by allocating runoff
from the proposed site to the wetland that would be equal to the pre -development flow. The remainder of the
runoff from the site would flow into the drainage basins on site to be treated to ensure the wetlands not
proposed for impact would remain as they were pre -development. More detailed clarification (i.e. stormwater
plan and grading plan) will be provided during the design process.
4. Please provide a figure depicting the location of the stormwater basin outlets. [15A NCAC 02H .0502(a)(9)]
Response: Please see attached stormwater exhibit.
We believe these responses adequately address DWR concerns. Please do not hesitate to call if you have any additional
questions.
Thank you,
