Subject Property: Ballentine Subdivision, Phases 5, 6 and 7
REQUEST FOR MORE INFORMATION
Dear Sir or Madam:
On April 22, 2005, the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) received your application dated April 22, 2005
to impact 0.175 acres of wetlands, 139 feet of stream and 14,712 square feet (ftz) of protected riparian
buffers to construct the proposed residential subdivision. On May 12, 2005 the DWQ received the Public
Notice issued by the US Army Corps of Engineers, Wilmington District. 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 213 .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. Please provide a complete, detailed breakdown of the assumed built-out conditions including but
not limited to footprints of houses, driveways, sidewalks, roads, amenities etc.
2. Please provide an overall drainage plan with topography that includes the locations of all level
spreaders.
3. You are proposing a 139' stream crossing with outlet protection however at the end point of the
outlet protection the stream shifts direction at an approximate 70 degree angle. The DWQ believes
this stream bank may become unstable and/or the stream in this location may redirect itself and
cause additional stream impacts. Please address this issue.
Please respond within three weeks of the date of this letter by sending this information to me in writing
and Eric Kulz of the DWQ Raleigh 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will assume that you no longer want to pursue this project and we will consider the project as withdrawn.
