Mr. Winston,

I apologize for the delay in responding. I’ve been in the field all week.

Comment 1: Please find revised drawings with a pump around detail attached. If there are any more details you
need in this regard please let me know.

Comment 2: As to your second comment regarding the Plan Sheet L4.2, I believe that sheet was designed to
illustrate the general topographic relief throughout the site as opposed to any sort of source of wetland hydrology.
There is a very slight topographic gradient from North to South in Wetland 1 as the plan sheet details. Wetland-1
does not contain surface water flow. The majority of the wetland has no evidence of prolonged surface water in
Wetland 1 such as sparsely vegetated concave surface of sediment deposits on plants, etc. The hydrology in
Wetland-1 is predominantly sub-surface. There are a few hydrology sources to Wetland-1 but the predominant
source is early growing season shallow groundwater. Precipitation, rare flood flows from Boring Mill Branch, as
well as stormwater runoƯ from State maintained roads adjacent to the property are also minor sources of
hydrology. A DOT pipe directs some Brevard Road stormwater to the southern portion of Wetland 1. The driveway
being constructed will not cut oƯ any sources of hydrology to the southern part of the wetland, as there are no
surface water sources from the north.

Comment 3: I believe Cynthia Herron responded with the correct email but here it is again.

Please call me if you need any clarification on any of these matters.

Mr. Moore,

On March 15, 2024, the Division of Water Resources (Division) received your applicaƟon requesƟng a 401 Water Quality
CerƟficaƟon from the Division for the subject project. The Division has determined that your applica Ɵon is incomplete
and cannot be processed. The applicaƟon is on-hold unƟl all of the following informaƟon is received:

1. The Division requires that work in streams be conducted so that the flowing stream does not come in contact
with the disturbed area in order to prevent turbidity within the stream. Please explain and provide plans for how
this will be accomplished for the installaƟon of the culvert within NWW-1 Boring Mill Branch, such as with a
pump around system. [15A NCAC 02H .0506(b)(2); 15A NCAC 02H .0502(a)(9)]

2. The project proposes to fill a porƟon of wetland Wet-1 for the construcƟon of a driveway, with porƟons of Wet-
1 remaining north and south of the driveway aŌer project compleƟon. Plan sheet L4.2 shows that pre-
development drainage flows from north to south within Wet-1, which would be interrupted by the proposed
driveway. No culvert is proposed beneath the proposed driveway that would maintain the exisƟng hydrologic
condiƟons. Please explain how the proposed driveway will not lead to secondary impacts by altering the
hydrology, and therefore removing the exisƟng uses, of the southern porƟon of Wet-1. If secondary impacts will
occur, please include them in the impact total and miƟgaƟon calculaƟon. [15A NCAC 02H .0502(b)(3)]

3. Mr. Herron’s email address is listed as both [e-mail] and [e-mail] within
the applicaƟon. Please clarify which email address is correct. [15A NCAC 02H .0502(a)(2)]

Pursuant to Title 15A NCAC 02H .0502(c), the applicant shall furnish all of the above requested informa Ɵon for the
proper consideraƟon of the applicaƟon. Please provide your response by June 7, 2024. If all of the requested
informaƟon is not received, the Division will be unable to approve the applicaƟon and it will be denied as incomplete.
The denial of this project will necessitate reapplicaƟon to the Division for approval, including a complete applicaƟon
package and appropriate fee.

Please let me know if you have any ques Ɵons.
