2. Materials
Your application requests the use of river rock for stabilization_ The removal of
river rock from stream consfiitutes a violation of North Carolina General Statutes via
the removal of best use of that particular stream segment_ Additionally, the use of
smooth river rock on shoreline stabilization does not provide the aquatic habitat
that rip-rap provides. Lastly, river rock generally is not large enough to stabilize a
shoreline due to it's general size_ You must modify your plan to eliminate the use
of river rock and choose a suitable stabilizing material for your project_
Please respond within ten {10) business days of the date of this letter by sending this
informs#ion to me in writing and Kevin Barnett of the DWQ Asheville Regional Qffice. If
we do not hear from you within ten {10) business days, we will assume that you no
longer wait to p~:~rsue this project and w° will consider the project a5 withdrawn_
This letter only addresses the application review and does not authorize any impacts to
wetlands, waters ar protected buffers. Please be aware that any impacts requested
within your application are not authorized (at this time) lay the DWQ. Please call Ms.
Cyndi Karaly or Mr. John Dorney at 919-733-1786 if you have any questions regarding
or would like to set up a meeting to discuss this matter.
