Re: Paymexlt of Invoices for Public Notice
Dear Mr. Lineberger:
Attached herein is an invoice received from The Highlander of Highlands, NC requesting
payment for legal advertising. The newspaper published a Public Notice for an application for an
Isolated Wetlands Permit for the proposed Dillsboro Dam removal in Jackson County. As you know,
we put public notices in several local papers in late June, 2007
Please note that in accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .1303(1), an applicant for an Individual
Certification (for instance, for FERC licenses) shall pay to the department the costs of advertising public
notices required by 15A NCAC 2H .1303 of the Isolated Wetland Rules. We have not yet received a bill
from The Highlander for the public notice. If you would like to expedite the process, please contact The
Highlander, remit payment to them and forward a copy of the payment to the Division of Water Quality
at 2321 Crabtree Boulevard, Suite, 250, Raleigh, NC 27604 and refer to the DWQ # listed above.
Please be aware that an Certification for this project will not be issued until payment has been
made for the attached Public Notice. In addition, our 60 day processing time will formally start upon
receipt of notification of payment for the public notices. If you have any questions please contact me at
919-733-9646.
