RE: 401-Water Quality Certification and Neuse River Buffer Rules Compliance
Request
Park at Langston
Cary, Wake County, North Carolina
S&EC Project no.: 5968
DWQ Project no.: 020831
Dear Mr. Dorney,
In reference to your letter dated July 10`h, 2001 (received by S&EC on July 16th, 2002-
see attached), our client, Barker Realty, does not intend to withdraw the 401-Water
Quality Certification application and Neuse River Buffer Compliance request for the Park
at Langston.
As requested in NC-DWQ's initial correspondence regarding the project (see attached
letter dated June 4th, 2002), S&EC forwarded information provided by the project
engineer (CH Engineering) to address stormwater discharge/diffuse flow through buffers.
Since this information was determined to be inadequate by NC-DWQ, the project
engineer (CH Engineering) will resubmit the requested calculations and plans
demonstrating that diffuse flow through the buffers will be achieved directly to NC-
DWQ. Therefore, please do not consider the application withdrawn-rather, it should be
considered to be on administrative hold pending the receipt of additional information that
will allow the continued processing of the permit application.
Please call me if you require any additional information, or email me at
j cooperna,sand ec. com.

Dear Mr. Cooper:
On May 24, 2002 the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) was notified by receipt of your
application regarding your plan to fill wetlands for the purpose of providing roadway and sewer access
for the residential subdivision in Wake County. Approval from DWQ is required to disturb these areas.
Please provide 7 copies of the following information and refer to the DWQ # listed above in your reply.
In particular as described in 15A NCAC 2B .0502, we will require you to locate all streams and ponds
on the property. Please show these on maps of suitable scale (for instance 1" = 100 feet) so we can
begin to determine your projects' compliance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500.
1. Your plans indicate stormwater discharge that will not flow in a diffuse manner through
buffers. Please provide plans and calculations to show that diffuse flow shall be achieved.
2. Please provide table referenced in item # XI.
Please telephone me at 919-733-1786 if you have any questions or would require copies of our
rules or procedural materials. This project will remain on hold as incomplete in accordance with 15A
NCAC 2H .0505(c). The processing time for this application will begin when this information is
received. If we do not hear from you by writing within three (3) weeks we will assume you no longer
want to pursue the project and will consider it withdrawn.

DW O # 020831
The Division of Water Quality has reviewed your response, received June 26, 2002, to our request for
additional information regarding your application fora 401 Certification and Neuse Buffer Rutes Approval, received May
24, 2002, for the subject project.
In previous correspondence dated June 4, 2002, this Office requested that you provide plans and calculations
to show that diffuse flow of stormwater would be provided in the Neuse Riparian Buffers in compliance with 15A NCAC 2B
.0233 (5). Only one plan page was provided that indicated some kind of level spreader for one of the five listed stormwater
outlets. No calculations were provided to show that this level spreader is adequately sized, and no topographic
information was provided to show that the slopes were adequate to accept the flow. No calculations or (readable) plans
were provided for the other outlets. This information was needed by DWQ in order for us to decide whether this project is
approvable.
Since the requested information was not provided, we are hereby returning the subject application. As such,
this application is withdrawn. Should you decide to reapply you must provide seven copies of an application and
supporting documentation as well as the appropriate fee.
If you have any questions please contact Todd St. John at 919-733-9584 or John Dorney at 919-733-9646 if
you have any questions.
