CERTIFIED MAIL: RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED
Mr. Ronald Mikesh
3061 Berks Way
Suite 202
Raleigh, NC 27614
Subject Property: Summerwind Plantation, Garner, NC
UT to Swift Creek [030402, 27-43-(8), C, NSW]
REQUEST FOR MORE INFORMATION
Dear Mr. Mikesh:
On November 15, 2006, the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) received your application dated November
14, 2006 to permanently fill 0.048 acres of forested wetlands, 145 linear feet of intermittent stream, 2,733
square feet (ft2) of Zone 1 protected riparian buffers and 1,695 square feet (ftZ) of Zone 2 protected
riparian buffers to construct the proposed subdivision and associated roads. 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
wetland, streams and/or buffers 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 2B .0233(8) 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:
I . In your application, you state that it is a courtesy copy. For coverage under the Corps of Engineer's
Nationwide 39 and the corresponding Water Quality Certification #3402, impacts to any stream
length in the Neuse, Tar-Pamlico or Randleman River Basins will require written concurrence from
DWQ. Since your project is in the Neuse River Basin, you will need to submit a permit fee.
Please note that beginning January 1, 1999, the N. C. General Assembly passed legislation
requiring payment of a fee for all 401 applications, as indicated on page two of the PCN
application form. The fee for applications is $200 for projects impacting less than an acre of
wetlands and less then ISO linear feet of streams. For projects impacting one or more acres of
wetlands or 1 SO or more feet of streams, the fee is $475. In order to process your request, you
must send a check in the appropriate amount made payable to N. C. Division of Water Quality.

2. On-Site Determination
It does not appear that the DWQ has been to your property to confirm if surface waters exist and if
the surface waters are intermittent or perennial. Please contact the DWQ Raleigh Regional Office
to conduct an on-site determination to confirm whether the surface waters on your site are
intermittent as your application states. You also have the option of contacting DWQ's Express
Permitting Unit instead of the Regional Office to have them confirm the surface waters on your
property for a fee. The following web address explains the process and fees for the Express
Permitting option. http•//h2o enr state nc us/ncwetlands/express review.htm
Please provide a copy of this determination once you receive it.
3. Please provide a complete set of plan sheets at a 1"=50' minimum that will clearly show all
proposed impacts. Do not submit each impact on a separate sheet. Ensure you also send a copy of
these plan sheets and the wetland map to Jamie Shern with the Corps of Engineers.
4. In Section XI of your application, you state that the project will exceed 20% impervious acreage.
Please provide a breakdown of how you arrived at your impervious amount. The breakdown should
include, but is not limited to, the house footprint, driveways, sidewalks and roads. Be aware that for
projects in nutrient sensitive waters, you will need to have a stormwater plan that includes the use of
a constructed wetland, bioretention or a wet pond followed by a forested filter strip. If your project
does exceed 30% be sure to include the stormwater plan with your resubmittal.
5. Please complete and submit Sections N, V, and XN of the PCN form.
Please respond within three weeks of the date of this letter by sending this information to me in writing
and Mike Horan of the DWQ Raleigh Regional Office. If we do not hear from you within three weeks,
we will assume that you no longer want to pursue this project and we will consider the project as
withdrawn.
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 Cyndi Karoly or Amy Chapman at 919-733-1786 if
you have any questions regarding or would like to set up a meeting to discuss this matter.
Sincerely,
~~
