REQUEST FOR MORE INFORMATION
Dear Mr. Perry:
On October 29, 2003, the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) received your application dated
October 29, 2003 to impact 0.105 acres of wetlands, 466.5 feet of stream and 8,608 square feet
(ftZ) of protected riparian buffers to construct the proposed residential subdivision. On March 15,
2004, the DWQ received a response to the DWQ request for additional information dated
January 22, 2004. On Apri122, 2004, the DWQ sent you a request for additional information.
O~: May 5, 2004, the DWQ received a letter from S&EC, Inc. providing additional i~:formaKo~z
regarding the stream on your "Ltset A" impact map. The DWQ has determined that your
application (including the March 15, 2004 and May 5, 2004 additional information) 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 2B .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:
• You are proposing to pipe and fill over 400 feet of surface water depicted as a "stream" on
your "Inset A" impact map. The feature is shown as an intermittent stream on the Wake
County Soil Survey. The DWQ Raleigh Regional Office (RRO) has informed the DWQ
Wetlands/LTnit staff that this stream was not evaluated during their March 8, 2000. on-site

performed by the RRO on Apri122, 2004. The RRO determined that the stream is subject
to the Neuse Buffer Rules.
As such, the plans proposed within your application will need to be redesigned to avoid the
prohibited uses (e.g., lot fill, houses in the buffer, etc.). Also, the plans will need to be
redesigned to avoid/minimize the parallel road impacts (e.g., Road "A"). Please redesign
your plans and revise your application to avoid/minimize the buffer impacts and submit
seven copies of the revised plans and application to this office and one copy to Mr. Steve
Mitchell of the RRO.
The May 5, 2004 letter from S&EC, htc. was sent to the RRO for their review. The RRO
replied stating thatzzew-plans will~be submitted by the applicant "renzoving-tlztrzmpact"-- --
from the stream and buffer. Please note that your application will remain on hold until
these new plans are received. In additio~t, the DWQ intends to return your application
and require a new application and fee if either these plans are not received within three
weeks of the date of this letter or if an additional on hold letter is required for this
project. (This letter is the fourth on hold letter written by the DWQ for this project.)
Please respond within three weeks of the date of this letter by sending this information to me in
writing and Steve Mitchell of the DWQ Raleigh Regional Office. If we do not hear from you
within three weeks, we will assume that you no longer wan't,to pursue this project and we will
consider the project as withdrawn.
This letter only addresses the application review and does not authorize any impacts to wetlands,
waters or protected buffers. Please be aware that any impacts requested within your application
are not authorized (at this time) by the DWQ. Please call Mr. Steve Mitchell at 919-571-4700 if
you have any questions regarding or would like to set up a meeting to discuss this matter.
