REQUEST FOR MORE INFORMATION
Dear Sir or Madam:
On November 26, 2007, the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) received your application dated
November 20, 2007, to fill or otherwise impact 1271inear feet of perennial stream and 5,549
square feet of Zone 1 Neuse River basin protected riparian buffers and 3,820 square feet of Zone
2 Neuse River basin protected riparian buffers to construct the proposed residential subdivision.
The DWQ has determined that your application was 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:
1. Per the state General Certification that corresponds with the federal NWP 29 (GC 2705),
a stormwater management plan is required for project that are anticipated to have
impervious cover of equal to or greater than 24 percent. Please provide an accounting of
impervious surface for the entire project that includes the impervious surfaces associated
with both the lots and the rights of way. If the impervious surface areas exceed 24
percent of the total project area, then the project will be required to meet Stormwater
Management Plan (SMP) Requirements for Applicants other than the North
Carolina Department of Transportation, available at:

2. Please provide appropriate diffuse flow measures 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

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.
3. 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 in Item 2 above for the BMP Manual and the BMP
Supplement Forms.
Please submit this information within 30 calendar days of the date of this letter. If we do not
