your project. The Division has determined that your application is incomplete and cannot be processed.
The application is on -hold until all of the following information is received:
1. Please provide more details regarding avoidance and minimization of impacts for this project.
This should include alternative designs and layouts of the road, including access to the project
from Liberty Road. [15A NCAC 02H .0506(f) and (g)]
2. A complete review of the project cannot be conducted until the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has
verified all stream and wetland locations for the entire project. [15A NCAC 02H .0502(a)(7)]
3. Please provide a Jordan Lake Buffer Authorization or Variance from the local delegated
municipality to document that impacts to the protected riparian buffer are in accordance with

6. As indicated under Item C.3.g (Page 13) of the USACE PCN Complete Help File "The stream impact
length should be measured along the centerline of the stream. When proposing a culvert, the
impact length is generally greater than the length of the culvert and associated dissipater since
the existing stream usually has some sinuosity (curvature)." Please verify or correct the stream
impact length as indicated on the PCN form. Please provide updated drawings and application
materials (including Table of Impacts in the PCN form) that properly show the length of impacts
to the jurisdictional stream. [15A NCAC 02H .0502(b)]
7. Please realign the location of the culvert for the road crossing so that it is in better alignment
with the stream channel. [15A NCAC 02H .0506(b)(2)]
8. The Division does not recommend erosion control matting to be used within the stream bed.
Please modify the plans accordingly. If riprap is proposed instead of matting, please clearly show
the impacts on the site plan and submit a riprap installation specification. Riprap must be located
below the stream bed elevation.
9. Per Condition 13 of GC 3890 "all culverts must be placed below the elevation of the stream bed
by one foot for all culverts with a diameter greater than 48 inches and 20 percent of the culvert
diameter for culverts having a diameter less than 48 inches." Please revise your plans to meet
this Condition or request an exemption from this Condition and provide justification for the
exemption request. [15A NCAC 02H .0506(b)(2) and .0502(b)]
10. Per Condition 6 of GC 3890, all work must be done "in the dry'. Therefore, dewatering methods
will be necessary to temporarily dewater the stream channel during pipe installation. Please
provide a construction sequence that details the method of dewatering to be utilized at the site
and the sequence of construction events to be followed to ensure compliance with this condition.
In addition, please ensure that the location of the temporary impacts are shown on the
construction drawings and clearly indicated in the revised impact table. [15A NCAC 02H
.0502(b)(3)]
11. Please complete Section E of the PCN form for the entire residential development.
12. Please provide an approved stormwater management plan from Guilford County. The approved
plan may include conceptual approval for future phases, however stormwater from the road
must be considered as part of the entire project and if this is a High Density project then
stormwater from the road must be appropriately treated.
Pursuant to Title 15A NCAC 02H .0502(e) the applicant shall furnish all of the above requested
information for the proper consideration of the application. If all of the requested information is not
received in writing within 30 calendar days of receipt of this letter, the Division will be unable to approve
the application and it will be returned. The return of this project will necessitate reapplication to the
Division for approval, including a complete application package and the appropriate fee.
