Permitting Fee
® PERMITTING FEE MISSING/INCORRECT
Dear Mr. Shackelford:
On January 18, 2008, the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) received your application dated January 16,
2008 for the above referenced project. The DWQ has determined that your application was incomplete
and/or provided inaccurate information as discussed below. The DWQ will require additional
information and/or fee in order to process your application to impact protected wetlands and/or streams
on the subject property. Please provide the following so that we may continue to review your project.
Additional Information Requested:
® Lack of permitting fee. Please note that beginning July 1, 2007, the N.C. General Assembly
passed an increase for application fees for all regulatory programs administered by DWQ. The
director of DWQ determined that the fee increase would specifically become effective for the
401 Program on September 1, 2007. Applications received as of September 1, 2007 with
insufficient funds to meet the legislation will be return.
The fee for applications is $240 for projects impacting less than an acre of wetland and less
than 150 linear feet of streams whether intermittent or perennial). For projects impacting one
or more acres of wetland or 150 or more feet of streams (whether intermittent or perennial),
the fee is $570.
® In accordance with Water Quality Certification GC3689, NW27: "All proposed fill or
modification of wetlands and/or waters, including streams and streambanks, under this
General Certification requires application to, and written approval from the Division of Water
Quality (the "Division"), regardless of the purpose of the restoration, enhancement,
stabilization, or creation activity."
"In accordance with North Carolina General Statute Section 143-215.3D(3), written approval
fora 401 Water Quality General Certification must include the appropriate fee."
