determine your project's compliance with 15A NCAC 2H.0500. The Division will require this information in order to

this project on hold as incomplete until we receive this additional information, and if we do not receive the additional

impacts already indicated) to the stream channel and any wetland areas. Temporary impacts also include

erosion control measures expected to be installed within any jurisdictional areas. Please note that
temporary impacts should be minimized to the maximum extent practical.

Please provide a detailed engineering plan and cross-section of all proposed culverts. These drawings
