Mr. Walsh,
On November 2, 2023, the Division of Water Resources (Division) received your applicaƟon requesƟng a 401 Water
Quality CerƟficaƟon from the Division for the subject project. The Division has determined that your applicaƟon is
incomplete and cannot be processed. The applicaƟon is on‐hold unƟl all of the following informaƟon is received:
1. The project plans and descripƟon indicate that a pump around system will be used to divert stream flow during
constricƟon. This secƟon of Hominy Creek drains approximately 15.5 square miles, and the Division is concerned
that a pump around system will not be adequate to divert flow around the disturbed area. Please confirm that
the stream’s drainage area and flow rate have been taken into consideraƟon when proposing a pump around
system or provide details for an alternaƟve diversion method. [15A NCAC 02H .0506(b)(2)]
Pursuant to Title 15A NCAC 02H .0502(c), the applicant shall furnish all of the above requested informaƟon for the
proper consideraƟon of the applicaƟon. Please provide your response by January 12, 2024. If all of the requested
informaƟon is not received, the Division will be unable to approve the applicaƟon and it will be denied as incomplete.
The denial of this project will necessitate reapplicaƟon to the Division for approval, including a complete applicaƟon
package and appropriate fee.
Please let me know if you have any quesƟons.
