2008, with additional information received from you on March 24, 2008, to fill or otherwise impact 205
linear feet of perennial stream to construct four proposed roadway crossings at the site. 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 properly. 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 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:
1. Please provide a table describing length and diameter of the four existing culvert impacts and
photographic documentation of the four existing culvert impacts.
2. Please indicate proposed lot layout as an overlay on the site plan.
3. Please provide cross section details showing the provisions for aquatic life passage.

showing outlet protection provisions (rip-rap pads, constructed plunge pools, cross vanes,
etc.).Please provide estimates for temporary impacts needed for pipe installations.
7. Finally, the plans show HDPE pipe to be installed. With large road fills and steep slopes, we feel
sturdier pipe material may be necessary (i.e., CMP, RCP).

requested information within 30 calendar days of the date of this letter, your project will be withdrawn
and you will need to reapply with a new application and a new fee.
