SUBJECT: PROJECT ON HOLD FOR
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Alligator Bay Subdivision
DWQ Project # OS-2220
Onslow County
Dear Mr. Haire:
On January 9, 2006, the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) in the Wilmington Regional
Office (WiRO) received your application dated December 15, 2005 from Central Office to
review for the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) impacts/concerns. DWQ has determined that
your application was incomplete and/or provided inaccurate information as discussed below.
The DWQ will require additional information in order to process your application for potential
impacts of 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:
Please provide a copy of the signed Jurisdiction Determination signed by The Corps
of Engineers. It is the understanding of this Office that you are doing additional work
in the wetlands adjacent to Alligator Bay (re-evaluating the additional high grounds
within this area). Please note that DWQ wants to process the application as an entire
project and if there are additional plans for this area they will need to be included in
the application
2. Please show that all lots will be buildable without additional impacts to wetlands
including driveway crossings for access to high ground. This Office is concerned that
additional impacts will be needed for lot access on lots # 15, 43, 44, 45, 66, 79, and
282 in particular. If additional impacts to wetlands will be required to make all the
lots buildable, you will need to add this amount to your permit application.

In additional this Office is concerned about the small wetland finger that remains on
Impact F, with such a small amount of wetlands remaining on the one side of the road
crossing we consider it as being impacted.
4. Please provide a draft copy of the preservation language, restrictive covenants, deed
restrictions, deed notifications or preservation language (if required by the Corps) that
will protect the remaining wetlands on the property from impacts.
5. Please show profile views (to scale) of the impacts proposed to wetland/waters. The
cross sections provided with the application do not show the cross sections of the
proposed pipes in the road crossings (impacts A, B, E, H, I) per the conditions stated
in GC# 3404. Please indicate on the profile views how the fill is to be kept in place
(side slopes (3:1), retaining walls, etc...).
6. Please provide a full size map for the project (the 11X17 map provided makes it
difficult to see all the impacts).
7. Please revise the PCN and plans accordingly and submit a copy to this office, the 401
Oversight Office, and the USACE.
Please respond in writing within three weeks of the date of this letter by sending a copy
of the information to Joanne Steenhuis and to Ian McMillan, 401 Oversight/Express Review
Permitting Unit, 2321 Crabtree Blvd., Raleigh, NC 27604-226. If we do not hear from you
within three weeks, we will assume that you no longer want to pursue this project and we will
consider the project as withdrawn. If you have any questions, please feel free to call Noelle
Lutheran or me at [phone].
Sincerely, ~ 7
