REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Dear Mr. Harrison:
On March 20, 2008, the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) received your application dated
February 13, 2008, to impact a 30 X 30 foot (900 ft2) area to convert upland into a boat basin and
displace 30 linear feet of the Neuse riparian buffer landward. 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 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 Requested:
1. Construction of the proposed boat basin will move additional Zone II Neuse River riparian
buffer onto the adjacent property owners. It is required that a written signed and certified
letter of aggreance be obtained from owners of the neighboring properties and copies sent
to this Office.
Please respond in writing to the DWQ within four weeks of the date of this letter to with the
requested information. If we do not hear from you within four weeks, we will assume that you no
longer want to pursue this project and we will consider the project as withdrawn.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
