REQUEST FOR MORE INFORMATION
Dear Mr. Bell:
On October 19, 2007, the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) 401 Oversight/Express Permitting Unit
received your application dated October 19, 2007 regarding your request for a Minor Variance from the
Neuse Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 2B .0233) for the subject property. The Division of Water Quality
(DWQ) is required to prepare a "preliminary finding" /"finding of fact" as to whether the variance request
meets the requirements of 15A NCAC 02B .0233(9)(a). The DWQ may attach conditions to a variance
approval that support the purpose, spirit and intent of the riparian buffer protection program. Conditions
usually include stormwater management and buffer mitigation.
Additional information will be required before we can proceed with the review of your variance request.
Therefore, unless additional information is provided as described below, we will have to move toward
denial of your request per 15A NCAC 2B .0233 and will place this project on hold as incomplete until we
receive this additional information.
Additional Information Requested:
1. Buffer Mitigation .
Buffer mitigation will be required as a condition of the Minor Variance. Please provide a buffer
mitigation plan pursuant to 15A NCAC 02B .0233. If you choose to pay into a mitigation bank
for the required mitigation, please provide an acceptance letter from the mitigation bank
demonstrating they have the ;available mitigation credits.
Please respond in writing within three weeks of the date of this letter by sending a copy of this
information to me and to Lauren Witherspoon of the DWQ Raleigh Regional Office. If we do not hear
from you in writing within three weeks, we will assume that you no longer want to pursue your variance
