Subject Property: Silver Creek Subdivision
Modification to issued 401
® PERMITTING FEE MISSING/INCORRECT
Dear Mr. Silver:
On December 3, 2007, the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) received your application dated November
20, 2007 for the above referenced project. The DWQ has determined that your application was
incomplete and/or provided inaccurate information or lacked a fee as discussed below. Please provide the
following information and/or fee so that we may continue to review your project.
Additional Information Requested:
® Lack of permitting fee. Please note that beginning July 1, 2007, the N.C. General Assembly
passed an increase for application fees for all regulatory programs administered by DWQ. The
director of DWQ determined that the fee increase would specifically become effective for the
401 Program on September 1, 2007. Applications received as of September 1, 2007 with
insufficient funds to meet the legislation will be return.
The fee for applications is $240 for projects impacting less than an acre of wetland and less
than 1501inear feet of streams whether intermittent or perennial). For projects impacting one
or more acres of wetland or 150 or more feet of streams (whether intermittent or perennial),
the fee is $570.
® A request for a modification of an issued permit requires re-submission of five (5) application
sets and appropriate fee. DWQ acknowledges receipt of the appropriate sets. Based on the
impacts reflected in the application, the correct fee is $570.
Please contact the DWQ within three weeks of the date of this letter to verify that you have received this
letter and that you remain interested in continuing to pursue permitting of your project and will be
providing the DWQ the requested information at a later date. Please contact this office in writing. If we
do not hear from you within three weeks, we will assume that you no longer want to pursue this project
and we will consider the project as returned.
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
