Mr. Ian McMillan, NCDWQ Raleigh
We respectfully request for NCDWQ to not withdraw the vending McNeil Pond 401 Water Quality Certification
application request (DWQ #06 1841 and USACOE ID #200600207; 2005207016). This permit request has been an
active and on-going process since 2006. We recognize the extended time period this permit process has taken, but
the applicant nor his agent has any control over the speed at which the State and Federal agencies respond. Mr.
McNeill has fully complied with all regulatory requests during this entire time period.
After much discussion with NCDWQ and USACOE representatives during 2006, Federal 404 & State 401 permit
applications were made in June - 2006. These permit applications were processed by these agencies until
January - 2007. On March 22, 2007 the USACOE met with Land Management Group Inc (LMG, Larry Baldwin) to
fully review the project's position at that time and to answer further Federal & State permit concerns. After further
clarifications LMG issued its' report of findings and recommendations to the USACOE on July 25, 2007. The
USACOE responded back on January 24, 2008. Mr. McNeill and LMG requested an extension of time to review
the extensive USACOE's document on February 6, 2008. LMG submitted a 2"d response to the USACOE on
March 20, 2008. To date (June - 2008), the applicant nor his agent have received a response back from the
USACOE.
Thus, the permit applications have not been idle, but in active process since 2006. Again, we have no control over
the various agencies' response time. Please continue NCDWQ application DWQ #06 1841 until we can derive
some type of final resolution from the various Federal & State agencies regarding this project.
If you have any questions please call directly. Thank you.
