REQUEST FOR MORE INFORMATION
Dear Mr. Poats:
On September 28, 2007, the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) received your application dated
September 3, 2007, to fill or otherwise impact 0.0075 acres of open waters below the normal
pool lake level, and impact 495 square feet of Zone 1 Catawba River basin protected riparian
buffer and 0.00 square feet of Zone 2 River basin protected riparian buffer to construct a
bulkhead along 165 linear feet of shoreline at the subject property. The DWQ has determined
that your application was 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:
1. Please indicate on drawing where construction access will be.
2. Please indicate on map where stabilization is being requested. According to the map
scale, lake frontage appears to be greater than the requested 165 linear feet.
Please submit this information within 30 calendar days of the date of this letter. If we do not
receive this requested information within 30 calendar days of the date of this letter, your project
will be withdrawn and you will need to reapply with a new application and a new fee.
This letter only addresses the application review and does not authorize any impacts to wetlands,
waters or protected buffers. Please be aware that any impacts requested within your application
