20230715)
Melissa,
On May 19, 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:
The PCN for the subject project was signed by you and lists the project applicant (i.e. the project owner and
entity responsible for compliance with the water quality certification) as Commonwealth Development
Corporation of America. Title 15A NCAC 02H .0502(a)(11) requires an agent authorization letter if an agent signs
the application on behalf of an applicant. In this case, as the applicant is not the property owner, the landowner
authorization signed by Carl and Kathleen Stamm does not satisfy the requirements of the aforementioned
administrative code. Please provide an agent authorization form signed by Commonwealth Development
Corporation of America granting you signature authority, or alternatively, confirm Carl and Kathleen Stamm are
the project owners.
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 replacement. 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. According to the state stormwater permitting map, it does not appear that the City of Brevard has a state -
delegated local government stormwater program. Therefore, our 401 & Buffer Permitting Branch will be
responsible for reviewing the proposed Stormwater Management Plan (SMP). Please provide a complete SMP
including all appropriate supplemental forms, O&M agreements, calculations, drawings, etc., that complies with
the requirements of the State Stormwater Program. The Stormwater Design Manual and applicable forms may
be found on the DEMLR's website at https://deg.nc.gov/about/divisions/energy-mineral-land-resources/energy-
mineral-land-permit-guidance/stormwater-bmp-manual. Please also submit the application form SWU-101;
however, the application fee and last two signature pages of this form are not required and may be omitted. The
SMP package (electronic files) may be submitted via our online portal or emailed to our 401 Stormwater
Engineer, Chonticha McDaniel at chonticha.mcdaniel@deg.nc.gov. Please feel free to contact her directly if you
have any questions regarding this matter. [15A NCAC 02H .0506(b)(3)]
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 July 14, 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.
