REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Dear Mr. Nance:
On January 8, 2008, the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) received your application dated
December 10, 2007, to construct a 104' by 30' canal in uplands and dredge a 90' by 30' access
channel to Kennedy Creek. 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 wetland, streams, and/or
buffers on the subject property. Therefore, unless we receive the additional information
requested below, we will have to move toward denial of your application as required by 15A
NCAC 2H .0506 and 2B .0233(8) 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. This Office requests a flushing model for the proposed upland basin be performed to show
adequate water circulation and dissolved oxygen (DO) within the proposed basin.
2. It is required that the 50 foot Taz-Pamlico Riparian Buffer be placed around the proposed
upland basin and access channel. This Office request a restoration plan that contains the
following:
(i) A map, to scale, of the proposed restoration site.
(ii) A vegetation plan. The vegetation plan shall include a minimum of at least two native
hazdwood tree species planted at a density sufficient to provide 320 trees per acre at
maturity.

(iii) A grading plan. The site shall be graded in a manner to ensure diffused flow through the
riparian buffer.
(iv) A fertilization plan.
(v) A schedule for implementation.
Within one year after the Division has approved the restoration plan the applicant shall
present proof to the Division that the riparian buffer has been restored. If proof is not
presented within this timeframe, then the person shall be in violation of the State's riparian
buffer protection program.
Please contact the DWQ within three weeks of the date of this letter to verify that you have
received this letter and that you remain interested in continuing to pursue permitting of your
project and will be providing the DWQ the requested information at a later date. Please contact
me in writing and forward your response to the DWQ Washington Regional Office. If we do not
hear from you within three weeks, we will assume that you no longer want to pursue this project
and we will consider the project as withdrawn.
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 Mr. Roberto Scheller at 252-948-3940
