Dear Mr. Myers:
On August 11, 2004, the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) received your application dated
August 11, 2004 to.impact 265 feet of stream and 26,137 square feet (ftZ) of protected riparian
buffers to construct the proposed subdivision. On August 19, 2004, the requested additional
information was submitted responding to the "Request for more information" sent on August 13,
2004. 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 -A506 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:
1. Outlet Protection at Culverts:
NCDOT Hydraulic Design Guidelines
(http://www.doh.dot.state. nc. us/preconstruct/hig hway/hydro/g 10399web/)
specify that the outlet velocities are designed for the Q10 discharge. If this velocity exceeds
the scour velocity for the receiving stream, rip rap outlet protection is required. DWQ is
concerned that outlet protection is needed and that these impacts have not been included
on the table of stream impacts on the PCN form. Please provide the supporting
documentation that rip rap outlet protection is not needed, or provide outlet protection
calculations for each culvert.
