Amy,
Please see attached for the plan set. The Construction Sequence details the work in the wet vs in the dry- UT1 and Black
Creek are intended to be done in the dry (using a pump around), but the Nantahla River is too large to pump around,
and will be worked in the wet. The contractor is requested to do as much work from stream banks as possible to
eliminate sediment entering the stream.
How do we pay the fee?
Thanks,

Cody,
There was no plan set submitted with the PCN application and DWR has not received the required fee. As such, I cannot
proceed with my review. The project will be on hold until you provide an engineered plan set and required fee. Please
upload the plans to Laserfiche if the file is too large to email.
On July 21, 2022, the Division of Water Resources (Division) received your application requesting a 401 Water Quality
Certification from the Division for the subject project. The required fee has not been received yet. Please submit the fee
at your earliest opportunity. 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:
• Please provide an engineered plan set showing all proposed stream and/or wetland impacts. [15A NCAC 02H
0502]

Please discuss if project activities will be performed in the dry. Per Condition 11.8 of GC 4255 (attached), all work
must be done "in the dry". Therefore, dewatering methods will be necessary to temporarily dewater the stream
channel during project activities. Please provide a construction sequence that details the method of dewatering
to be utilized at the site and the sequence of construction events to be followed to ensure compliance with this
condition. In addition, please ensure that the location of the temporary impacts are shown on the construction
drawings and clearly indicated in the revised impact table. [15A NCAC 02H .0506(b), 15A NCAC 02H .0507(c),
and 15A NCAC 02B .0200]
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 October 5, 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 the appropriate fee.
