Subject: RE: [External] Review of Submitted Development Plans and Request for Additional
Information - Oakwood Acres Residential Subdivision Project (UNCLASSIFIED)
Marcus,
On December 20, 2017, the Division of Water Resources (Division) received your application dated August 3, 2017,
requesting a 401 Water Quality Certification from the Division for the subject project. The Division has determined that
your application is incomplete and cannot be processed. The application is on hold until the following items are
addressed:
1. A complete review of the project cannot be conducted until the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has verified all stream
and wetland locations within the planned development. Once the jurisdictional determination (JD), as described by
David in his email below, has been approved, please provide the Division a site plan depicting the proposed lot layout,
road network, and approved jurisdictional features. [15A NCAC 02H .0502(g)]
2. Per Condition 11.9. of GC 4139, all work must be done "in the dry". Therefore, dewatering methods will be necessary to
temporarily dewater the stream channel during pipe installation. Stream impact number S3 on the subject PCN lists 20
feet of temporary impact associated with construction. Please clarify if this impact is associated with stream dewatering
for pipe installation. In addition, please provide a construction sequence that details the method of dewatering to be
utilized at the site and the sequence of construction events to be followed to ensure compliance with this condition.
[15A NCAC 02H .0502(b)(3)]
Pursuant to Title 15A NCAC 02H .0502(c), the applicant shall furnish all of the above requested information for the
proper consideration of the application. If all of the requested information is not received, the Division will be unable to
approve the application and it will be returned. The return of this project will necessitate reapplication to the Division
for approval, including a complete application package and the appropriate fee.
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Marcus Barksdale,
The Corps has received (December 15) and reviewed the submitted development plans for the proposed Oakwood Acres
Residential Subdivision project off North Clear Creek Road in Hendersonville, Henderson County, NC. The development
plans were submitted in response to the Corps requests for additional information e-mailed to Advantage Civil
Engineering on July 19, August 9,and December 15.
The submitted plans do not provide information which clearly depicts potential jurisdictional waters of the U.S. (WoUS)
and does not provide information which shows the limits of jurisdictional WoUS within the planned development. The
Corps needs to evaluate all of the development's potential impacts to WoUS in order determine if the project meets the
conditions of our NWP program.
The Corps has to evaluate all potential impacts to WoUS that would result from all project activities (road construction,
installation of utilities, storm water features, clearing and grading, etc.) under our 404(b)(1) Guidelines. The guidelines
require that the applicant first avoid impacts to WoUS to the maximum extent practicable. For those impacts that
cannot be avoided, impacts must be minimized and compensatory mitigation for those impacts must be provided, if
needed.
The submitted development plans did not provide the requested additional information to evaluate all of the
development's potential impacts to WoUS. Please submit a request for jurisdictional determination (JD) with the
required supporting information/data for the parcel. After the JD has been verified by the Corps, you will need to submit
a figure which clearly depicts potential jurisdictional WoUS within the limits of the development's project area.
All other requested information has been received by the Corps for this project. Please note oversized plan sheets and
drawings need to be submitted in 11x17 -inch format.
Please copy Andrew Moore with NC Department of Environment Quality, Division of Water Resources and Andrea Leslie
with NC Wildlife Resources Commission on your response to this request. At this time, the request to utilize NWP 29 for
authorization of impacts to WoUS for this project is on hold until the above noted information is submitted. If you have
any question, please contact me.
Sincerely,
David Brown, PG
