On November 14, 2007, the DWQ received additional information from you, however, the DWQ has determined that your application remains incomplete and/or provided inaccurate information as discussed below. The DWQ will require additional information in order to process your application to impact protected wetlands and/or streams on the subject property. Therefore, unless we receive five copies of 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: Please provide appropriate diffuse flow measures for the Neuse Buffer crossing per Chapter 8 of the NC Division of Water Quality Stormwater Best Management Practices Manual. If level spreaders are proposed to meet the diffuse flow requirement, then please provide one completed Level Spreader Supplement Form for each proposed level spreader (make sure to include the Required Items Checklist with all required items attached.) The BMP Manual and Level Spreader Supplement Form are available at: http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/su/bmp forms.htm. 2. If the site is not appropriate for level spreaders, please provide an alternative BMP that removes a minimum of 30 percent of total nitrogen. Please design the BMP per the requirements of the BMP Manual and provide a BMP Supplement Form for each proposed BMP. See the web site above for the BMP Manual and the BMP Supplement Forms. 3. Please show how stormwater in from the road will be conveyed to the wetlands conservation area on the south side of the project at the site of the crossing.
