consultant, Dennis Fornes, with information addressing issues indicated in a "Request for More
Information" letter sent to you on November 18, 2008. Upon review of your application and the
additional information the DWQ has determined that your request for certification 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.

3. Stream Crossing
The DWQ does not have information indicating that there was a stream call performed for
crossings 2 and 3. Please provide information that the DWQ has performed a stream
evaluation on those streams to determine if those streams are ephemeral, intermittent, or
perennial.
4. Quantify Total Stream Impact
Please quantify all impacts associated with stream crossings. Upon review of your project
request the DWQ determined that the impacts indicated on the project plans are greater that
what was indicated in the application. Impact request should include total culvert length,
headwalls, and if applicable any stream armoring.
Please respond in writing to the DWQ within four weeks of the date of this letter to with the
requested information. If we do not hear from you within four weeks, we will assume that you no
longer want to pursue this project and we will consider the project as withdrawn.

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 Kyle Barnes of the Washington
Regional Office at 252-948-3917or Ian McMillan of the DWQ Central Office at 919-733-1786 if
