Mr. Romaniszyn,
On February 1, 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 application did not include a discussion of the measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts to
wetlands through project design. Please include a narrative of the design choices made with regard to wetland
impacts, including a discussion of why impacts cannot be further reduced or avoided. [15A NCAC 02H
.0506(b)(1)]
2. The project plans do not include details of the proposed wetland fill. Please provide a detailed plan of the
proposed wetland impacts, including design considerations for the stability of the fill material to ensure
additional impacts will not occur. [15A NCAC 02H .0502(a)(9); 15A NCAC 02H .0506(b)(3)]
3. The project plans do not include the proposed temporary impact to the stream for utility installation. Please
include this in project plans. [15A NCAC 02H .0502(a)(9); 15A NCAC 02H .0506(b)(2)]
Pursuant to Title 15A NCAC 02H .0502(c), the applicant shall furnish all of the above requested information for the
proper consideration of the application. Please provide your response by April 7, 2023. If all of the requested
information is not received, the Division will be unable to approve the application and it will be denied as 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
