REQUEST FOR MORE INFORMATION
Dear Mr. Pitts:
On March 6, 2008 the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) received your application dated
February 28, 2008, to fill or otherwise impact 0.25 acres of wetland to construct a residential
subdivision. On April 22, 2008, and May 12, 2008, the DWQ received additional information
from you, however, the DWQ has determined that your application remains incomplete and/or
provided inaccurate information as discussed below. 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. In your resubmittal, please be aware that per NCAC 2B 15A: 02H.1000, a "drainage
area" is defined as "the entire area contributing surface runoff to a single point." The
overall plan in your May 12, 2008 submittal does not provide information about the
specific discharge points and their associated drainage areas. A drainage area map that
shows site topography, all of the stormwater discharge points, their associated drainage
areas and the percent imperviousness of the drainage areas must, be provided. This map
must be at a readable scale of 1" = 50' or larger.
2. Please note that developments with the lot sizes you are proposing are nearly always
considered to be high density. Also, please be sure to use realistic figures when
calculating the lot imperviousness. It is unusual to see single family homes that have a
footprint of only 0.036 acre, or 1,568 square feet, per lot.
