REQUEST FOR MORE INFORMATION
Dear Mr. Jackson:
On April 11, 2008, the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) received your application dated April 9, 2008,
to fill or otherwise impact 0.48 acres of 404/wetland to construct a residential development at the site. On
May 12, 2008, September 30, 2008, November 3, 2008, and December 8, 2008, the DWQ received
additional information from you, however, the DWQ has determined that your application remains
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. The DWQ remains unconvinced that Drainage Area 4 is low density. Based on the topography,
the open space to the left of the Swale that serves Drainage Area 4 is not part of the drainage area
and therefore it is not appropriate to include it in impervious surface calculations. Once that open
space is removed from Drainage Area 4, then it will clearly be greater than 24% impervious and
will require a stormwater management plan.
If you wish to retain the currently proposed site plan, then an appropriately selected and designed
BMP must be provided to treat the stormwater from Drainage Area 4. Please provide a
completed BMP Supplement Form with all required items (see
http://h2o.elir.state.nc.us/su/bmp forms htm.
2. The only possibility that the DWQ can identify of keeping Drainage Area 4 below 24%
impervious by taking ALL THREE of the following steps:
1. Permanently protecting the open space north of lots 9-13,

2. Permanently protecting the open space across from lots 25-26, AND
3. Permanently abandoning plans to develop lots 14-17, 19. and 42.
If you are interested in pursing the low density option, then please provide calculations for the
above conditions in order for the DWQ to determine whether or not low density criteria has been
met.
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.
