On April 5, 2016, the Division of Water Resources (Division) received your application dated
April 4, 2016 requesting a 401 Water Quality Certification and Riparian Buffer Authorization
from the Division for your project. The Division has determined that your application is
incomplete and cannot be processed. The application is on -hold until the following
information is received:
1. The wetland, stream, and riparian buffer impacts requested in this application need to
be clearly shown and enumerated on the site plan. These impacts need to correspond
to the impacts requested in the application. The labels on the site plan should be clear
and should match the labels of the impacts listed in the application. As the application
and impact maps currently stand, it is not possible to match up what is in the application
with the site plan. [15A NCAC 02H .0502(g)]
2. There are also inconsistencies with the stream impacts listed in the application with
those on the site plan. For example, the application lists Stream A impact as -113.3
linear feet, but the site plan has on-site Stream Impact A as both 93.3 and 30.7. Stream
Impact C is listed as 133.7 linear feet in the application, but the site.plan has the impact
indicated as 22.5 linear feet. The offsite stream impact on the site plan indicates an
impact of 41.4 linear feet, but the comment on the stream impact table indicates an

listed within the impact table and not in the comment section of the table. [15A NCAC
02H .0502(g)]
3. The reservation of credits letter for the required stream mitigation needs to be included
with the application. [15A NCAC 02H .0502(h)]
4. The overall imperviousness of the project is listed as 14.46 %, but based on the site plan,
the imperviousness of the project appears much larger. [15A NCAC 02H .0502(g)]
Pursuant to Title 15A NCAC 02H .0502(c) and Title 15A NCAC 0213 .0233 (8), the applicant shall

of this letter, the Division wilt 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.
