Subject: Responsible Period of Time Extension Request
Mayes Meadows Residential Subdivision 401 Water Quality Certification
Mecklenburg County
Corps Action ID# SAW-2021-00907; DWR# 202301100
Dear Ms. Stock,
On August 7, 2023, the Division of Water Resources (DWR) received an application from Bayard Development LLC
for an Individual 401 Water Quality Certification for the Mayes Meadow Residential Subdivision in Mecklenburg
County. On September 5, 2023 the Division requested additional information from the applicant in order to
complete our review. DWR respectfully requests that the reasonable period of time be extended until January 31,
2023. In support of this request, we direct your attention to the following considerations:
(i) Unique or Complex Site Conditions: The proposed project is pending review with the Interagency Review
Team (IRT) for an encroachment to the Unique Places to Save conservation easement. The Division is
unable to certify the project until the conservation easement encroachment has been resolved and
approved by the IRT.
By making this request, DWR does not waive its right to determine that additional information or time is necessary
to process the application. Further, DWR does not waive its right to contest the legality of the Corps' August 7,
2019, Regulatory Guidance Letter, Corps regulations implementing section 401 of the Clean Water Act, or any
actions taken by the Corps pursuant thereto.
We respectfully request that you provide your written concurrence by November 30, 2023.
If you have any questions, please contact Sue Homewood at 336-813-1863 or [e-mail].
Sincerely,
EDocuSigned by:
