Dear Ms. Hoerle:
On March 12, 2024, the Division of Water Resources (Division) received your application
requesting a 401 Individual Water Quality Certification and Neuse Buffer Authorization from
the Division for the subject project. The Division has determined that your application is
incomplete and cannot be processed. The application is on -hold until all of the following
information is received:
1. If the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE)requests a response to any comments
received as a result of the Public Notice, please provide the Division with a copy of your
response to the USACE.
2. The table of Neuse Buffer Impacts provided on Page 15 and 16 of the application shows
no mitigation amounts required under the column "Required Mitigation". Please
correct this information for our records.
3. The construction sequence for the relocated buffer indicates that matting will be
utilized on slopes exceed 3H:1V. The cross section shown on the Proposed Conditions
(Stream F) Sheet 3 of 5 indicates that the designed slopes will be 2H: 1V. Please clarify.
4. Please revise the buffer relocation plan to clearly indicate that any erosion control
matting used within the riparian buffer will be biodegradable and will not include nylon
mesh.
