Dear Mr. Talley:
On May 4, 2018, the Division of Water Resources — Water Quality Programs (Division) received your
application requesting a 401 Water Quality Certification from the Division for your project. The Division
has determined that your application is incomplete and cannot be processed. The application is on -hold
until all of the following information is received:
1. Please provide the Division with a copy of your response to May 9, 2018 email from the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers requesting additional information. [15A NCAC 02H .0502(c)]
Please re -submit your site plans at a scale of no smaller than 1"=50' with topographic contours
shown. Please ensure that all streams, wetlands and buffers are clearly shown on the plan sheets.
Specifically, please clearly show the buffers upstream of Crossing #2 and along streams that enter
the property boundary from the north even if no impacts are proposed within these buffers. [15A
NCAC 02H .0502(b)]
3. Please enumerate all wetland, stream and/or buffer impacts from all activities on the site plan
including, but not limited to, fill/grading slopes, dissipater pads, proposed utility easements,
temporary construction and/or erosion control measures, etc. The Division recommends
highlighting by hatching or shading all impacts areas for temporary impact areas and permanent
impact areas. [15A NCAC 02H .0502(8)]
4. Per Condition 11.11 of GC4139, please provide details on how you are going to maintain the
physical integrity of the stream above and below the culvert. If multiple pipes or barrels are
required, they shall be designed to mimic natural stream cross section as closely as possible
including pipes or barrels at flood plain elevation and/or sills where appropriate. Widening the
stream channel should be avoided. Stream channel widening at the inlet or outlet end of
structures typically decreases water velocity causing sediment deposition that requires increased
maintenance and disrupts aquatic life passage. A construction sequence and detail should be
provided to ensure the contractor is clear on construction of these benches. [15A NCAC 02H
.0506(b)(2)]

5. Please provide a construction sequence that details the method of dewatering to be utilized at the
site and the sequence of construction events to be followed to ensure compliance with this
condition. In addition, please ensure that the location of the temporary impacts are shown on the
plan sheets. [15A NCAC 02H .0502(b)(3)]
6. The Jordan Lake Buffer Rules are implemented by the City of Graham, therefore please provide a
Jordan Lake Buffer Authorization from the local delegated municipality to document that impacts
to the protected riparian buffer are in accordance with the approved local ordinances. [15A NCAC
02B .0267(7)(b) or (c)]
Pursuant to Title 15A NCAC 02H .0502(e), the applicant shall furnish all of the above requested
information for the proper consideration of the application. If all of the requested information is not
received in writing within 30 calendar days of receipt of this letter, the Division will be unable to approve

Division for approval, including a complete application package and the appropriate fee.

information through this link: https://edocs.deg.nc.gov/Forms/Supplemental-Information-Form. Please
