Subject: Request for Additional Information for McConnell Rd -McConnell Ridge Residential
Development - Guilford County - DWR# 20231170
Brad,
The above noted project has been reassigned to me to distribute some workload. I have conducted a review and require
additional information on the items noted below. Please submit a complete response within 30 days of receipt of this
application. Please note that the application will be considered "on hold" until submittal of a complete response.
1. The plan sheet labeled Overall McConnell Ridge Stream Impacts does not appear to include all jurisdictional
features. Specifically, wetland DWE does not appear to be shown and lot/fill development appears to be
proposed which may impact this feature. Please provide an overall development plan sheet showing current
and future proposed development with all jurisdictional features shown. The Division understands that future
development areas are conceptual in nature.
2. Please provide a stream restoration detail for the areas of temporary stream disturbance for open cut sewer line
installation.
3. Pursuant to 15A NCAC 02H.0506(b) "a 401 Water Quality Certification may only be issued upon determining that
the proposed activity will comply with state water quality standards which includes designated uses, numeric
criteria, narrative criteria and the state's antidegradation policy, as defined in rules of 15A NCAC 02B .0200... In
assessing whether the proposed activity will comply with water quality standards, the Division shall evaluate if
the proposed activity: (2) would cause or contribute to a violation of water quality standards; (3) would result in
secondary or cumulative impacts that cause or contribute to, or will cause or contribute to, a violation of water
quality standards. Based on the current proposed plan the Division believes there is potential for indirect
impacts to stream SC as all surface flow to this stream appears to be routed to a SCM which would discharge
into Stream DSA. Please either, include indirect impacts to this stream within the impact table and provide
mitigation as appropriate, provide hydrologic calculations to document that surface flow will continue to
support the existing function of the stream, or provide a monitoring plan that will document existing conditions
and post construction conditions stream DSA.
Thanks,
Sue Homewood (she/her/hers)
