Subject Property: Pearl Creek Subdivision
REQUEST FOR MORE INFORMATION-EXPRESS REVIEW PROGRAM
Dear Mr. Hardin:
On January 3, the Division of Water Quality (the "Division") received your response to the request for
more information letter that was sent on December 28, 2006 for the above-referenced project. The DWQ
has determined that this information is incomplete. Please provide the additional informaMn
requested below in order to continue review of your project and to prevent denial of your application as
required by 15A NCAC 2H .0506:
Stub Road:
a) According to .the Wake County Soil Survey, hydric soils (possibly indicating wetlarnds)
and an intermittent stream are located south of the UT to Big Branch where the stub rand
(Pearl Road Extension) is terminating. The stream determinations for this project were
conducted on January 12, 2006 by Mike Horan. Feature "I" (the stream on the south sikle
of UT to Big Branch that the s;<ub road appears to point towards) was determined to ~e
subject to the Neuse Buffer Rules. Since it appears that a continuation of the Pearl Rated
Extenstion may cause avoidable stream, buffer, and wetland impacts prior to its terminus
with Auburn Church Road, the Division of Water Quality requires that the location of Rle
road on the subject property be designed in such a way as to minimize the impacts to tine
adjacent property to the south. Please submit a plan sheet indicating the probafrlfe
location of the Pearl Road El~tention along with the buffers, streams, and wetlattais
that may be affected by the road. We understand that you may need to coordinate wrttlt
Wake County and/or the City of Garner for this purpose.
Please respond within five (5) days (in acknowledgement of the holiday season vacation difficulties, the
days have been extended from 3 days to 5 days) of the date of this letter by sending five (5) copies of the
above information in writing.
This letter only addresses the application review and does not authorize any impacts to wetlands, waters
or protected buffers. Please be aware that any in~acts requested within your application are not
authorized (at this time) by the DWQ.
Please contact Lia Myott at [phone] if you have any questions regarding or would like to set up ~
meeting to discuss this matter.
