REQUEST FOR MORE INFORMATION
Dear Mr. Shackeeford:
On October 15, 2007, the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) received your complete application
dated July 13, 2007, to impact 0.025 acres of wetlands and 25501inear feet of protected riparian
buffers to construct the proposed amenity lake for a residential subdivision and golf course. 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 wetland, streams and/or buffers on the subject
property. Therefore, unless we receive the additional information requested below, we will have
to move toward denial of your application as required by 15A NCAC 2H .0506 and 2B .0233(8)
and will place this project on hold as incomplete until we receive this additional information.
Please provide the following information so that we may continue to review your project.
Additional Information Requested:
1. Neuse Riparian Buffer Impacts
The creation of Lake Nina is allowable under the Neuse Riparian Buffer Rules (15A NCAC
2B 0.233 (6) as long as items (4) Zones of the Riparian Buffer and (5) Diffuse Flow
Requirement are met. The project is requesting that portions of the newly established
riparian buffer not meet the requirements of items (4) and (5) of the rule, which is
"Allowable with Mitigation". Utilization of this portion of the rule requires that an
approved mitigation site and plan be approved and the mitigation be implemented prior to
the construction of Lake Nina.
