Joey,
You are correct that this project is occurring on the town’s property, however the project area is less than one acre in
size (Approximately 0.3 acres) and does not meet the 10 acre threshold for SEPA according to Session Law 2015‐90
Section 2 G.S. 113A‐9. The project also does not involve any state or federal funding, and therefore does not meet the
10 million dollar threshold, and SEPA does not apply.
Please let me know if that answers your questions or if you need any additional information. I am available via email or
phone any time.
Thank you!

Mr. Prunchak,
On December 8, 2022, the Division of Water Resources (Division) received your application requesting a 401 Water
Quality Certification from the Division for the subject project. 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:
1. The PCN indicates that the project will not involve the expenditure of public funds or the use of public land;
however, the applicant is the Town of Lake Lure and the project will occur on land owned by the Town. Please
clarify whether public funds or lands will be involved. If so, please indicate whether a SEPA environmental
document is required and the status of that document, if applicable. If finalized, please provide a copy of the
SEPA final approval letter. The Division cannot take action on a project for which a SEPA environmental
document is being prepared or under review. [15A NCAC 01C .0107]
Pursuant to Title 15A NCAC 02H .0502(c) and 15A NCAC 01C .0107, the applicant shall furnish all of the above requested
information for the proper consideration of the application. Please provide your response by January 30, 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
2
incomplete. The denial of this project will necessitate reapplication to the Division for approval, including a complete
application package and appropriate fee.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Regards,
Joey
