REQUEST FOR MORE INFORMATION
Ladies and Gentlemen:
On August 4, 2005, the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) received your revised application
dated August 4, 2005, to impact 0.14 acres of wetlands, 248 linear feet of streams, 9,898 square
feet of Zone 1 riparian buffer, and 4,564 square feet of Zone 2 riparian buffer, within the Neuse
River basin. According to your individual permit application, you are proposing to construct a
residential subdivision. 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 the additional information requested below,
we will have to move toward denial of your application as required by 15A NCAC 21-1.0506 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. There are two areas on the site plan that are "areas to be cleared and grassed for permanent
open space/Rec area". Please clarify if these areas will be built upon with concentrated
areas of impervious.
2. The revised application indicates that greater than 150 linear feet stream and buffer impacts
will occur as a result of this project. Please provide a compensatory mitigation plan to
address the stream and buffer impacts as detailed on Exhibit C of your August 4, 2005,
additional information letter.
It is the understanding of the DWQ that when the proposed impacts change in the review process
of an Individual Permit/Individual Certification the new proposed impacts may need to be put back
out to Public Notice. If this is the case then an Individual Certification cannot be issued until
comments are received for the new Public Notice.
