REQUEST FOR MORE INFORMATION
Dear Mr. Parris:
On November 19, 2007, the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) received your application
to stabilize 330 linear feet of an un-named tributary to Cane Creek along your property.
The DWQ has determined your application to be incomplete and/or provided inaccurate
information as discussed below. The DWQ will require the below specified additional
information in order to process your application to impact protected wetlands and/or
streams 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 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. Purpose of Proposed Work

Under Section VII of your application you stated that the activity was "necessary to
stabilize the bank of a stream adjacent to a parking lot and building. Only the area
adjacent to these features was stabilized."
At the time of the issued Notice of Violation, rip-rap extended far beyond the paved
area to beyond where the Car-Wash facility was later constructed. You must
explain why "stream bank erosion protection" was needed for a facility, which did
not exist.
2. Stormwater
Under Section X of your application, you state that the addition of rip-rap
stabilization would only increase the impervious area by a minimal amount. As this
site is near 90% impervious, some form of stormwater collection and treatment
must be retrofitted in order to protect existing surface water standards.
Please respond by January 15, 2008 by sending 5 copies of the requested information
to both the 401 Permitting Unit at:
Mrs. Cyndi Karoly
401 Permitting Unit
1650 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, NC 27699-1650
And a single copy to the Asheville Regional Office at:
Kevin Barnett
Surface Water Protection Section
2090 US HWY 70
Swannanoa, NC 28778
If we do not hear from you by January 15, 2008 of your receipt of this letter, we will
assume that you no longer want to pursue this project and we will consider the project
as withdrawn. Additionally, we will assume that all un-permitted stabilization will be
removed and the stream bank restored.
