Subject: Reasonable Period of Time Extension Request - Raleigh Road Sewer Outfall; Wilson
County; Corps Action ID# SAW-2023-01059; DWR# 20231626
Dear Mr. Lastinger,
On November 27, 2023, the Division of Water Resources (DWR) received an application from Southbury Development,
LLC for an Individual 401 Water Quality Certification for the Raleigh Road Sewer Outfall in Wilson County. On February
5, 2024, and March 15, 2024, the DWR requested additional information from the applicant and continues to work with
the applicant to resolve water quality related concerns. The applicant and consultants are working with their engineers
to update design maps and impact totals to provide a response to the information requested by DWR.
In accordance with the Final 2023 Clean Water Act Section 401 Water Quality Certification Improvement Rule, Section
121.6(e), (e) The Federal agency and certifying authority may agree in writing to extend the reasonable period of time for
any reason, provided that the extension shall not cause the reasonable period of time to exceed one year from the date
that the request for certification was received. As such, DWR respectfully requests that the reasonable period of time be
extended until July 24, 2024.
By making this request, DWR does not waive its right to determine that additional information or time is necessary to
process the application in accordance with Corps regulations implementing section 401 of the Clean Water Act, or any
actions taken by the Corps pursuant thereto.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you,
