On, April 15, 2015, the Division of Water Resources (Division) received your application dated
April 1, 2015, requesting a 401 Individual 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:
Please provide more cletails regarding avoidance and minimization of wetland impacts
for this project. [15A NCAC 02H .0506(f) and (g)]
The proposed wetland impact to extend Curran Court does not appear to be
necessary to provide buildable lots since buildable lots are available on Cottage
Field! Lane that do not involve additional wetland impacts. Please provide
additional information as to why it is necessary for this project at this time.
2. Title 15A NCAC 02H .0506 requires that a proposed activity has no practical alternative
by demonstrating that, considering the potential for a reduction, in size, configuration, or
density of the proposed activity and all alternative designs, the basic project purpose
cannot be practically accomplished in a manner which would avoid or result in less
adverse impact to wetlands. Because the preferred alternative involves the greatest
amount of wetland impact, the Division cannot review this alternative until the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) determines that this alternative is the least
environmentally damaging practical alternative (LEDPA). Please provide
correspondence from the USACE indicating which alternative is selected as the LEDPA.
