REQUEST FOR MORE INFORMATION
Dear Mr. Baine:
On December 19, 2007, the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) received your undated application
materials, to fill or otherwise impact 2,1661f of stream, 0.178 acres of wetlands, and 0.221 acres
of open water to construct the proposed residential development and golf course at the site. 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. Please submit your signed USACE Individual Permit application or direct the DWQ to
where this is located in your application materials.

Please provide plans that show fill slopes, head walls, dissipater pads, etc. for your
proposed crossings.
3. Impact # 14 (road crossing) angle is not perpendicular. Redesign or reconfigure to cross
between 75 and 105 degrees.
4. Impacts 17 and 18 (road crossings) cross two streams approx 50 feet upstream of the
confluence of the two channels. Also, Impact 18 is approx. 45 degrees. Redesign this
area to cross at a more perpendicular angle. Ideally, you should push the road east and
downstream of the confluence to minimize impacts.
Impact 25 (road crossing) appears to pass beneath the road, presumably through a pipe,
and appears to be directed into a sharp meander bend. This will likely result in
streambank instability at this location. Please redesign or relocate this crossing to a more
straight reach of the stream.
6. Lot 1075 is bisected by a stream. Please provide proof that the lot is buildable without
impacting the stream, or these impacts need to be included in this permit application.
7. Please provide cross section details showing the provisions for all aquatic life passage
8. Please provide the location of any proposed stormwater management practices.
9. Please provide plans, profiles and worksheets for all the stormwater management devices.
10. Please locate any planned sewer lines on the site plan (or indicate where septic tanks may
be used).
11. Please indicate all stream impacts including all fill slopes, dissipaters, and bank
stabilization on the site plan.
12. Please indicate all wetland impacts including fill slopes on the site plan.
13. Please submit copies of final impacts from the proposed golf course on the plans at a
scale of no smaller than 1" = 50`. Please indicate impacts at each site.
Please submit this information within 30 calendar days of the date of this letter. If we do not
receive this requested information within 30 calendar days of the date of this letter, your project
will be withdrawn and you will need to reapply with a new application and a new fee.
This letter only addresses the application review and does not authorize any impacts to wetlands,
waters or protected buffers. Please be aware that any impacts requested within your application
are not authorized (at this time) by the DWQ. Please call Ms. Cyndi Karoly or Mr. Ian
