REQUEST FOR MORE INFORMATION
Dear Sir or Madam:
On March 26, 2008, the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) received your application dated
March 24, 2008, to fill or otherwise impact 146 linear feet of perennial stream, and 8,465 square
feet of Zone 1 Neuse River basin protected riparian buffers and 4,484 square feet of Zone 2
Neuse River basin protected riparian buffers to construct a residential development 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 property.
Therefore, unless we receive five copies of the additional information requested below, we will
place this project on hold as incomplete until we receive this additional information. If we do
not receive the requested information, your project will be formally returned as incomplete.
Please provide the following information so that we may continue to review your project.
Additional Information Requested:
1. It appears that your proposed stream crossing is at 60°. Please reconfigure this crossing
to be between 75° and 105° or show or bridge this crossing. If this cannot be done, the
buffer impacts will require mitigation.
2. Please eliminate the stub road portion of West Holding Avenue that intersects Richland
Ridge Road from your proposed plans. s
3. Because the Town of Wake Forest has not attended the BMP Certification Class, the
DWQ is no longer their accepting stormwater approvals as meeting the stormwater
requirements of the 401 Certification Program. Therefore:
