Good afternoon Kim,
The DWR has reviewed the above referenced project and the information contained in the
application lacks the information necessary to ensure that the project design has avoided and
minimized impacts to surface waters and wetlands to ensure any remaining surface waters or
wetlands, and any surface waters or wetlands downstream, continue to support existing uses during
and after project completion, in accordance 15A NCAC 02H .0506 (b)(1).
Specifically the wetlands crossings B & C have not been designed with pipes to ensure the hydrologic
connectivity of the wetlands is maintained. As proposed the road and associated wetland fill will
sever connectivity in the wetlands and therefore is not consistent with the wetlands standards found
in 15A NCAC 02B .0231.
Additionally discussions with your staff indicate the scope of the project is changing and additional
impacts may be proposed that are not presented in this permit application. The DWR is placing the
project on hold until the above requested information is provided. Any updated impact maps and
associated application documents should also be submitted that demonstrate the full scope of work
proposed. Please feel free to call or email me if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Holley Snider .•" ,><((((2>•' .•.,,..><((((°>.•—
