On March 13, 2018, the Division of Water Resources (Division) received your application dated
March 5, 2018, requesting a 401 Water Quality Certification from the Division for the subject
project.
The Division understands that the project impacts have increased due to an increase in the size
of the delineated wetland. Further the proposed residential subdivision has increased in area
and lot number since the previous approvals. The Division has determined that additional
information is required to process your application, therefore this application is on -hold until
all of the following information is received:
1. Regarding the wetland impacts, the Division has concerns regarding the fill impact on
the hydrology of the wetland.
a. Show the wetland boundaries on the project map and details on how the project
will preserve the hydrological quality and connection of the wetland and aquatic
life passage on either side of the proposed road.
b. Provide construction drawings of the same, detailing how and where the
wetlands will remain connected.
c. Clarify if the fill and land clearing are occurring in the same footprint or if these
are separate wetland impacts.
d. There is a third wetland impact listed on the PCN as "other" that the Division
believes is in error, please confirm this.
