Dear Mr. Brown:
On September 18, 2007, the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) received your application dated
September 14, 2007, and on October 15, 2007, the DWQ received your Public Notice issued by
the USACE on October 12, 2007, to fill or otherwise impact 2.81 acres of 404/wetlands, 140
linear feet of perennial stream, and 0.47 acres of Isolated Wetlands, to construct the proposed
automotive research facility. 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. Please show the boundaries of the proposed drainage easements for each of the BMPs.
2. Please provide a vegetation specification for the planting shelves of the proposed wet
detention ponds.
3. On Plan Sheet CE204, the BMP #4 is incorrectly labeled at "BMP #5" in the upper left
