Water Quality Certification NW # and Permitting Fee
® REQUEST FOR MORE INFORMATION
® PERMITTING FEE MISSINGANCORRECT
Dear Mr. Waldroup:
On March 6, 2008, the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) received your application dated March 6, 2008
for the above referenced project. 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 five copies of 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:
® Water Quality Certification, See I. Processing, Item 2.. Please state which Permit
(Nationwide, Regional or General) number you intend to use. You may want to contact the
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) to determine which permit they will allow you to
use. The PCN application reflected 38 linear feet of stream impact thereby necessitating
Corps involvement and permitting fee.
? Lack of permitting fee. Please note that beginning July 1, 2007, the N.C. General Assembly
passed an increase for application fees for all regulatory programs administered by DWQ. The
director of DWQ determined that the fee increase would specifically become effective for the
401 Program on September 1, 2007. Applications received as of September 1, 2007 with
insufficient funds to meet the legislation will be return.
The fee for applications is $240 for projects impacting less than an acre of wetland and less
than 150 linear feet of streams whether intermittent or perennial). For projects impacting one
or more acres of wetland or 150 or more feet of streams (whether intermittent or perennial),
the fee is $570.
