REQUEST FOR MORE INFORMATION
Dear Mr. Herbert:
On July 7, 2008, the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) received your application dated July 7,
2008, to fill or otherwise impact 0.538 acres of 404/wetland (0.398 acres permanent impact and
0.14 acres temporary impact), 562 linear feet of perennial stream impact and 43,080 square feet
of Zone 1 Neuse River basin protected riparian buffers and 27,567 square feet of Zone 2 Neuse
River basin protected riparian buffers to construct the proposed residential development at the
site. 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. Per the requirements of the Neuse River Riparian Buffer Rule, you must show that this
site meets diffuse flow requirements with a level spreader or other BMP per Chapter 8 of
the BMP Manual (see http://h2o.enr.state.ne.us/su/bmp forms.htm).
2. Please provide narrative discussing adjoining properties in respect to whether "stub
roads" point toward "waters" or buffers.
3. Please provide documentation from the NCEEP indicating their willingness to accept
your request to purchase buffer credit to mitigate for the proposed buffer impacts listed in

your PCN application per section VIII, No. 2. PCN mitigation for the buffers does not
match NC EEP's acceptance letter. PCN mitigation table states Zone 1 = 77,754 square
feet, NC EEP letter states 36,279 square feet, and PCN mitigation table states Zone 2 =
20,140 square feet, NC EEP letter states 8,933 square feet. Please address this
discrepancy.
4. Please provide correspondence from the City of Raleigh requiring the crossing at Stream
Impact No. 12.
Please submit this information within 30 calendar days of the date of this letter. If we do not
receive this requested information within 30 calendar days of the date of this letter, your project
will be withdrawn and you will need to reapply with a new application and a new fee.
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
are not authorized (at this time) by the DWQ. Please call Ms. Cyndi Karoly or Mr. Ian
McMillan at 919-733-1786 if you have any questions regarding or would like to set up a meeting
to discuss this matter.
