RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED
Mr. Mike Holder, P.E.
NCDOT Division 12
1710 East Marion
Shelby, NC 28152
SUBJECT: Proposed Pipe Replacement on SR 2173 (James Farm Road) in Iredell County
Dear Mr. Holder:
The Division of Water Quality has reviewed your submittal for a 401 Water Quality Certification for the
aforementioned project. Review of your application revealed it is lacking the necessary information required
for making an informed permit decision. The permit application was deficient in the following area:
• As proposed, the extension of the culvert in this location will result in the culvert discharging directly into
the downstream bank. Please provide details (and appropriate plans) depicting proper culvert alignment to
prevent stream destabilization.
Therefore, pursuant to 15A NCAC 2H .0507(a)(5), we will have to place the permit application on hold until we
are supplied the necessary information. You have 21 days to respond in writing with the requested information
or notification to this office that the information is forthcoming. If, at the end of the 21 days, this office has not
received this information in writing, we will assume you are withdrawing your application and it will be returned.
Furthermore, until the information is received by the NC Division of Water Quality, we request (by copy of this
letter) that the US Army Corps of Engineers place the permit application on hold.
If you have any questions or require additional information, please contact Polly Lespinasse at [phone].
Sincerely,
I-- Z/ 13
for Coleen H. Sullins
