Director Division of Water Quality February 16, 2006 DWQ Project # 05-2070 Wake County CERTIFIED MAIL: RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED Mr. Michael Whitehead MacGregor Development Company 201 Sannon Oaks Circle, Suite 201 Cary, NC 27511 Subject Property: Weavers Pond Subdivision Beaverdam Creek [030402, 27-27, C, NSW] REQUEST FOR MORE INFORMATION Dear Mr. Whitehead: On November 16, 2005, the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) received your application dated November 16, 2005, to impact 0.494 acres of wetland, 237 linear feet of stream and 21,632 square feet of Zone 1 protected Neuse River basin riparian buffer and 14, 435 square feet of Zone 2 protected Neuse River basin riparian buffer to construct the proposed residential subdivision. On February 14, 2006, the DWQ received additional information from you. However, the DWQ has 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 DWQ still maintains that the road crossing labeled as "Road D - Crossing #3" on the plans does not appear to be necessary for development of the site as currently proposed. Please eliminate the road crossing and submit revised plans for this area. Additionally, in your correspondence to the DWQ dated February 14, 2006, you indicated, "this crossing is needed for internal connectivity, to insure safety due to the number of lots served and to accommodate future development to the northern portion of the property." Based on the submitted plans, the DWQ believes this impact and the impact labeled "Future Impact" to be unnecessary. The DWQ also has concerns with cumulative impacts associated with the "Future Development", and avoidance and minimization issues with the citing of lots adjacent to the pond located within the "Future Development" area.
