SUBJECT: PROJECT ON HOLD FOR
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Sterling Farms Subdivision
DWQ Project # OS 1766
Onslow County
Dear Mr. Silvester:
This Office has reviewed your 401 application for the Sterling Farms Subdivision for constructing a
residential subdivision within a 396 acre tract located off Old 30 Road in Jacksonville in Onslow County.
The proposal is to subdivide the parcel into residential lots and to permit eight road-crossing for a road
access to these lots. DWQ has determined that your application was incomplete and/or provided
inaccurate information as discussed below. 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 2H .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:
Please provide profile drawings (to scale) of each wetland impact you are proposing (show the fill
area and how fill will be retained by grading it to a 3:1 slope or by a retaining wall or some such
mechanism).
2. You have indicated on your application that you will be placing the remaining onsite wetlands
into preservation. Please provide a draft copy of the preservation language for the wetlands that
will be recorded, the language must reference exact areas.
3. On some of the proposed lots, it seems that additional wetlands will need to be impacted for the
housepad and driveways (Lots # 43, 45 & 122 are the only numbered lots) there are additional
lots that are not numbered and a copy of the drawing has been included and the lots/wetlands in
question have been highlighted in yellow. Please provide information that these lots are buildable
without additional wetland impacts and if not, include the wetland impacts.
4. On the proposed road layout you have indicated two small finger wetlands that are not to be
impacted (highlighted in green). DWQ considers these cutoff type wetlands as impacted and they
need to be included in the impact calculations.
