REQUEST FOR MORE INFORMATION
Dear Mr. Green:
On October 11, 2007, the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) received your Pre-Construction
Notification application to temporarily fill or otherwise impact 0.378 acres of 404 Wetland and
68 linear feet of stream to construct the proposed single-family residential structure. The 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 to impact protected wetlands and/or streams on the subject property. Therefore,
unless we receive a copy of the additional information requested below at the DWQ central
office and the Wilmington Regional Office, we will have to recommend moving towards 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.
Additional Information Requested:
Indicate all stream impacts including all fill slopes, dissipaters, and bank stabilization on
the site plan.
2. Indicate all isolated or non-isolated wetlands, streams, or other waters of the State as
overlays on the site plan.
3. Locate any planned sewer lines as overlays on the site plan.
4. Proposed "Wetland Span #1" on the plan sheet labeled "Overall Wetland Impact" appears
to be a stub road that ends abruptly. The DWQ cannot permit impacts for "roads to
nowhere". Explain why this impact is necessary and provide details on the future
development to where "Wetland Span #1" is pointed.
5. Provide detailed engineering drawings describing how utility lines will be installed at the
wetland impact sites listing the depth of placement.

6. Provide a letter of concurrence from the Town of Shallotte for the placement of the utility
lines outside of the 10 foot easement or stating where the utility lines should be placed
within the easement.
7. Explain what is meant by "10 foot utility and sidewalk easement" found on the plan sheets
for wetland spans 1 & 2. Sidewalks cannot be counted as temporary impacts.
8. You do not appear to have avoided and minimized to the greatest extent practicable. Please
explain why the utility impacts cannot be avoided through the use of some sort of
directional boring, to eliminate wetland impacts.
Respond within 30 calendar days of the date of this letter. If we do not receive the above
requested information within 30 calendar days of the date of this letter, we will assume that you
no longer want to pursue this project and we will consider the project as withdrawn.
This letter only addresses the application review and does not authorize any impacts to wetlands,
waters or protected buffers. Please be aware that any impacts requested within your
application are not authorized (at this time) by the DWQ. Please call me at 910-796-7215 or
Ian McMillan at 919-733-1786 if you have any questions regarding or would like to set up a
meeting to discuss this matter.
Sincerely,
i
