REQUEST FOR MORE INFORMATION
Dear Ms. Daley:
On August 5, 2008, the Division of Water Quality(DWQ)received your application dated August 1,
2008,to fill or otherwise impact 0.0104 acre of 404 wetlands, 3,993 linear feet of perennial streams, and
1,267 linear feet intermittent streams,to construct the Girl Scout Environmental Leadership Center and
recreational lake at the referenced site. On September 30, 2008 (Public Notice), December 17, 2008
(materials received by DWQ personnel during the field visit), and January 21, 2009(correspondence from
the USACE), and March 4, 2009, the DWQ received additional information related to this project;
however,the DWQ has determined that your application remains incomplete as discussed below. The
DWQ will require the following additional information in order to process your application to impact
protected wetlands and streams on the subject property. Until we receive five copies of the additional
information requested below, we will place this project on hold as incomplete. 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:
l. It is not clear how the applicant will be handling releases from the three different levels. Will they be
releasing from all three simultaneously or alternating between them? It is the opinion of this Office
that if they alternate between the three it will be very destructive to downstream aquatic communities.
2. Since primary recreation will be occurring(see page 4 under"Response to the Purpose and Need
Statement"), this Office will request fecal coliform sampling post construction.
3. Please support your claim that"The biodiversity within the riparian area is limited."within section
Flora and Fauna, on page 3, with onsite collected data.
Please submit this information within 30 calendar days of the date of this letter. If you will not be able to
provide this information within 30 days, please provide a timeline specifying when the information will be
provided. If we do not receive this requested information or your specific timeline within 30 calendar days,
your project will be withdrawn and you will need to reapply with a new application and a new fee.
