Division of Water Quality 401 Wetlands Unit Attn: Ms. Cyndi Karoly 2321 Crabtree Blvd., Suite 250 Raleigh, NC 27604 G ~~~~~ D ~C~ ~ ~ x!`a!)T Re: Lot 80, Lake Toxaway -Additional Information Transylvania County, NC DWQ Project # 07-1571 Dear Ms. Karoly, This letter is in response to your Request for More Information letter dated September 19, 2007 regarding the project known as Lot 80 (Lake Toxaway) in Transylvania County, NC. Below we have addressed the issues listed in your request. . Information Requested: 1. This Office believes that the house labeled on the plans as house can be moved or reconfigured to avoid the impacts to wetlands. Please revise the plans to avoid the impacts. The house location was chosen in an effort to minimize impacts to waters, and work within existing site constraints (See Attachment 1. Lot 80 -- Site Plan & & Attachment 2. Lot 80 -- Topo Map). Avoiding impact to the large fish supporting stream was our priority, since it is a good quality stream, and it is already crossed by the adjacent road. Therefore, the house and driveway were configured in order to avoid impact to the stream. So the house and driveway needed to be on the south side of the lot; this side is steeper so it requires fill for access. Canton Office PO Box 882 Canton, NC 28716 828-648-8801 828-648-8802 Fax 2. This Office believes that the footpath labeled on the plans as footpath can be moved or reconfigured to minimize the impacts to wetlands. Please revise the plans to minimize the impacts. We will move the footpath to avoid those impacts. 3. Please show elevation contours on your revised plans. See Attachment 2. Lot 80 Topo Map 4. Please submit documentation verifying your approved Trout Variance. We do not have to request a formal trout buffer variance since we will not have to request a Sediment and Erosion Control Plan since the land disturbance will be less than 1 acre. We can therefore assume our variance since it is less than 100'. Please call me anytime if you need further clarification of these issues.
