REQUEST FOR MORE INFORMATION
Dear Mr. Ashton:
DWQ Project # 09-0069
Durham County
On January 21, 2009, the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) received your application dated January 19,
2009, with additional information received from you on January 22, 2009, and January 29, 2009, to fill or
otherwise impact 80 linear feet of intermittent stream, and 4,382 square feet of Zone 1 Neuse River basin
protected riparian buffers and 0.00 square feet of Zone 2 Neuse River basin protected riparian buffers to
construct the proposed road to the rear of the lot at the site. On February 24, 2009, 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. Please show footprints of all proposed impervious areas (facilities or structures such as buildings,
garages for which the driveway has been proposed).
2. Please provide cross section details for the culverts showing the provisions for aquatic life
passage. Culvert inverts must be placed below the elevation of the streambed by at least one foot
for culverts larger than 48 inches, and at least 20 percent of the culvert diameter for culverts 48
inches or smaller, to allow low flow and aquatic life passage.

Please provide culvert (pipe) outlet velocity calculation for the 10-year storm. If the velocity
exceeds the allowable limit of the area downstream (permissible velocity of the receiving
downstream channel), provide a correctly designed outlet velocity dissipation device. Please
consult the NC Erosion and Sediment Control Design Manual for maximum permissible
velocities of channel material and the design of energy dissipating structures. If you require any
pipe outlet riprap, you will need to change your stream impacts, and possibly your buffer impacts.
4. If revised grading resulted in no ditches along the driveway, please revise the typical driveway
cross section on Sheet 2 to reflect the changes. Please note there should not be any driveway
ditches entering the buffer (unless they are used as bypass channels associated with level spreader
or other BMPs), and stormwater from driveway shall not be concentrated prior to entering the
buffer. If post construction inspection reveals the formation of erosion gullies in the buffer as a
result of concentrated flows from the driveway, this may result in a violation, and you will be
required to correct it and install a level spreader or other diffuse flow device.
5. Please complete all applicable sections of the PCN Form. For example, Section E (Stormwater
Management and Diffuse Flow) and other Items under Section F must be completed.
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.
This letter only addresses the application review and does not authorize any impacts to wetlands, waters or
protected buffers. Please be aware that any impacts requested within your application are not authorized (at
this time) by the DWQ. Please call Ms. Cyndi Karoly or Mr. Ian McMillan at 919-733-1786 if you have
any questions regarding or would like to set up a meeting to discuss this matter.
