REQUEST FOR MORE INFORMATION
Dear Mr. Shuff:
On March 14, 2008, the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) 401 Oversight/Express Permitting Unit
received your application dated March 13, 2008 regarding your request for a Minor Variance from the
Tar-Pamlico Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 2B .0259) for the subject property. DWQ is required to prepare a
"preliminary finding" /"finding of fact" as to whether the variance request meets the requirements of 15A
NCAC 02B .0259(9)(a). The DWQ may attach conditions to a variance approval that support the
purpose, spirit and intent of the riparian buffer protection program. Conditions usually include
stormwater management and buffer mitigation.
Additional information will be required before we can proceed with the review of your variance request.
Therefore, unless additional information is provided as described below, we will have to move toward
denial of your request per I SA NCAC 2B .0259 and will place this project on hold as incomplete until we
receive this additional information.
Additional Information Requested:
1. Buffer Mitigation
Please provide an acceptance letter from the mitigation bank demonstrating they have the
available mitigation credits for your proposed mitigation payment.
2. Stormwater Management
Please provide all applicable worksheets and O&M agreements for your proposed rain garden.
Please respond in writing within three weeks of the date of this letter by sending a copy of this
information to me and to Lauren Witherspoon of the DWQ Raleigh Regional Office. If we do not hear
from you in writing within three weeks, we will assume that you no longer want to pursue your variance
