November 20, 2007, to impact 6180 square feet (ft2) of protected riparian buffers to construct a
road on the subject property. This request was submitted in part to fulfill the requirement of a

Tar-Pamlico Riparian Buffer 15A NCAC 2B .0259. 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
wetland, streams and/or buffers 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 1 SA NCAC 2H .0506 and 2B .0259(8) 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.
