REQUEST FOR MORE INFORMATION
Dear Mr. Farrell:
On December 19, 2005, the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) received your application dated
December 14, 2005, to impact 145 linear feet of stream and 25,080 square feet of protected
Neuse River basin riparian buffer to construct the proposed residential subdivision and road. On
February 13, 2006, the DWQ received a revised application dated February 13, 2006, to impact
130 linear feet of stream and 12,176 square feet of protected Neuse River basin riparian buffer to
construct the proposed residential subdivision and road. On February 13, 2006, representatives
from the DWQ met representatives from Froehling & Robertson to discuss the project. Based on
this meeting, the DWQ 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 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. The proposed on-site stormwater BMP will need to be re-engineered as a constructed
wetland, and as discussed at the meeting, discharge velocities from the constructed
wetland should be attenuated so as not to negatively impact the stream bank stability.
2. The proposed stream impact will be re-evaluated to determine if armoring of the stream
bank at that location or possible relocating of the stream would be better options for this
crossing.
