Good afternoon,
The prerequisites for the culvert have made the project too expensive and I've decided to take advantage of a right of
way offered by the neighbors who own the private drive alongside the property. At this time I accept the denial of the
application and understand it will need to be reapplied to in the future in needed.
Thank you,
Antonio Carangelo

Mr. Carangelo,
On June 9, 2023, 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. Please provide a map that delineates the boundaries of the land proposed to be utilized by the
applicant in carrying out the activity; the location, dimensions, and type of any structures
erected or to be erected on the lands for use in connection with the activity; and the location
and extent of the receiving waters, including wetlands within the boundaries of the lands. [15A
NCAC 02H .0502(a)(9)]
2. All work in or adjacent to streams shall be conducted so that the flowing stream does not come
in contact with the disturbed area. Therefore, dewatering methods will be necessary to
temporarily dewater the stream channel during culvert installation. Please provide a
construction sequence that details the method of dewatering to be utilized at the site and the
sequence of construction events to be followed to ensure compliance with this condition. [15A
NCAC 02H .0506(b)(3)]
3. Please provide a culvert cross section detail showing the provisions for aquatic life
passage/culvert burial that demonstrates the culvert will meet condition 11.11 of 401 Water
Quality General Certification 4256. [15A NCAC 02H .0506(b)(2) and (3)]
4. The Division is in receipt of attachment 4j provided with the Pre -Construction Notification,
which is referenced in section C.4i. of the PCN. However, the details provided in the attachment

do not match the narrative description of the project. Please explain the discrepancy including
culvert length, diameter, whether a rip rap pad is proposed at the culvert outlet, whether there
is an existing culvert that will be replaced, etc. [15A NCAC 02H .0502(a)(9)]
5. It appears that access to the parcel could be provided by sharing a driveway with an adjacent
parcel. Please explain why access to the property cannot be provided through a shared driveway
thereby avoiding the stream impact. [15A NCAC 02H .0506(b)(1)]
Pursuant to Title 15A NCAC 02H .0502(e), the applicant shall furnish all of the above requested
information for the proper consideration of the application. Please provide your response by August 11,
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.
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
