On July 7, 2017, the Division of Water Resources — Water Quality Programs (Division) received your
application dated June 28, 2017, requesting a 401 Water Quality Certification from the Division for your
project. The Division has determined that your application is incomplete and cannot be processed. The
application is on -hold until all of the following information is received:
As indicated under Item C.3.g (Page 13) of the USACE PCN Complete Help File "The stream impact
length should be measured along the centerline of the stream. When proposing a culvert, the impact
length is generally greater than the length of the culvert and associated dissipater since the existing
stream usually has some sinuosity (curvature)." Please verify or correct the stream impact length as
indicated on the PCN form. Please provide updated drawings and application materials (including
Table of Impacts in the PCN form) that properly show the length of impacts to the jurisdictional
stream. [15A NCAC 02H .0502(b)]
Please clarify whether the Division of Energy, Mineral and Land Resources will require riprap within
any stream channels or wetlands as part of the Erosion & Sedimentation Control Plan approval. If
riprap is required, please enumerate and clearly label the temporary and permanent impacts on
the site plan and submit a channel restoration detail. Riprap must be located below the stream bed
elevation. [15A NCAC 02H .0506(f).
This facility drains to Old Field Creek which is designated as an Outstanding Resource Water (ORW)
and therefore subject to state stormwater regulations 15A NCAC 02H .1021. This regulation
requires stormwater control measures for projects that exceed 12% built upon area (BUA). Your
PCN notes that your project is 24% BUA. Please provide a plan sheet that indicates the location of
proposed stormwater measures for this project. [15A NCAC 02H .0506(b)(5) and (c)(5)]
