Dear Mr. Stillwell:
On February 6, 2009, the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) received your CAMA Application

riverfront park area, boat ramp, loading dock, gazebos, and amenities for a 714 lot residential
subdivision. The DWQ has determined that your application was 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 the additional information requested below, we will have
to move toward denial of your application as required by 15A NCAC 2H .0506 and will place
this project on hold as incomplete until we receive this additional information. Please provide
the following information so that we may continue to review your project.
Additional Information Requested:
1. Correspondence from Kim Garvey of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers states that this
project and the 714 lot subdivision are to be considered a single and complete project.
Please revise and/or modify your application to disclose the entire project.
2. Please re-submit a master or overall site plan on full plan sheets at a scale of no smaller
than 1 "=50' with topographic contours shown.
3. Please provide building envelopes for all lots with wetlands and streams on the site
plans. Some of the lots shown in `Figure 8 Overall Wetland Crossings Index' appear to
be un-buildable without additional impacts.
4. Please submit a survey map of the approved Jurisdictional Waters on the site on full plan
sheets.
