REQUEST FOR MORE INFORMATION
Dear Mr. Ives:
On May 30, 2008, the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) received your application dated April
28, 2008, to impact 0.047 acres of waters and 0.037 acres of coastal wetlands to construct a
navigational channel to a permitted 51-slip marina. 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
wetland, streams and/or buffers on the subject property. Therefore, unless we receive the
additional information requested below, we will have to move toward denial of your application
as required by 15A NCAC 2H.0506 and 2B .0259(8) and will place this project on hold as
incomplete until we receive this additional information. Please provide the following
information so that we may continue to review your project.
Additional Information Requested:
1. Avoidance and Minimization
The DWQ received your response to a "Request for More Information" letter issued on July
10, 2008. Within that request was item number 2 "Avoidance and Minimization". The
DWQ does not feel that you have adequitly responded to this item. Specifically we would
like you to demonstrate the purpose and need for an access channel that has a bottom width
of twenty-four (24) feet. As discussed in the prior "Request for Information" letter your
original permit that was issued in March of 2007 stated that no dredging would be required
to facilitate the function of this marina. Please demonstrate why a narrower access channel
could not be utilized to achieve the activities of this marina.
