Re: Section 401 Water Quality Certification modification for the Larco Construction Company
Dear Mr. Ponton:
On December 4, 2007, the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (DWQ) received your application for a
401 General Water Quality Certification modification to impact 1491inear feet of stream and associated riparian
buffers to construct the Larco Construction Co. plant expansion near High Point in Guilford County. Additional
information is required in order that we may determine your project's compliance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500.
The DWQ will require this information in order to process your application to impact protected wetlands and/or
streams on the subject property. Therefore, we will place this project on hold as incomplete until we receive
this additional information, and if we do not receive the additional information requested below, we will have to
move toward denial of your application as required by 15A NCAC 2H .0506. Please provide the following
information so that we may continue to review your project.
1. The Division is unable to issue a 401 Water Quality Certification in violation of the Randleman
Watershed Riparian Protection Rules. We understand that you are currently seeking a major
variance from these regulations. We will continue to review this project upon notification that a
variance has been granted, or upon submittal of any amended documents that would indicate the
variance would no longer be needed.
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. If you have any questions, please contact Sue Homewood, DWQ, Winston-Salem
Regional Office, at 336-771-4964 or [e-mail].
