Dear Mr. Posey:
On July 26, 2007, the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) received your After-the-Fact
application dated July 15, 2007, to fill or otherwise impact 383 linear feet of perennial stream
(283 linear feet permanent impact and 1001inear feet intermittent impact), to construct the
proposed residential development. On September 20, 2007, the DWQ received additional
information from you, however, the DWQ has determined that your application remains
incomplete and/or provided inaccurate information. as discussed below. The DWQ will require
additional information in order to process your application to impact protected wetlands and/or
streams on the subject property. Therefore, unless we receive five copies of the additional
information requested below, we will have to move toward denial of your application as required
by 15A NCAC 2H .0506 and will place this project on hold as incomplete until we receive this
additional information. Please provide the following information so that we may continue to
review your project.
Additional Information Requested:
In our August 6, 2007, Request For More Information letter to you, we wrote, "your
proposed stream Crossing No. 4 appears to be aligned at approximately 45° and Impact
No. 7 appears to be at 60°. Please reconfigure your proposed stream cros-sing and Impact
No. 7 to show them aligned approximately perpendicular (between 75° and 105°)." Your
resubmission shows a relocation of the stream at Impact no. 7. This will not be allowed.
Please redesign you plans to address this issue.
