REQUEST FOR MORE INFORMATION
Dear Mr. Holt:
On July 3, 2008, the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) 401 Oversight/Express Permitting Unit received
your application dated July 2, 2008 regarding your request for a Minor Variance from the Neuse Buffer
Rules (15A NCAC 2B .0233) for the subject property. The Division of Water Quality (DWQ) is required
to prepare a "preliminary finding" /"finding of fact" as to whether the variance request meets the
requirements of 15A NCAC 02B .0233(9)(a). The DWQ may attach conditions to a variance approval
that support the purpose, spirit and intent of the riparian buffer protection program. Conditions usually
include stormwater management and buffer mitigation.
Additional information will be required before we can proceed with the review of your variance request.
Therefore, unless additional information is provided as described below, we will have to move toward
returning your request per 15A NCAC 2B .0233 and 15A NCAC 2H.0506 and will place this project on
hold as incomplete until we receive this additional information.
Additional Information Requested:
1. Buffer Mitigation
Buffer mitigation will be required as a condition of the Minor Variance. Please provide a buffer
mitigation plan pursuant to 15A NCAC 02B .0233. If you choose to pay into a mitigation bank
for the required mitigation, please provide an acceptance letter from the mitigation bank
demonstrating they have the available mitigation credits.
Please respond in writing within three weeks of the date of this letter by sending a copy of this
information to me and to Lauren Witherspoon of the DWQ Raleigh Regional Office. If we do not hear
from you in writing within three weeks, we will assume that you no longer want to pursue your variance
