Subject: The replacement of Bridge No. 31 over Vandemere Creek on NC 304 in Pamlico County.
T.I.P. B-5129B, DWQ project number 20090471.
Dear Mr. Johnson:
The Division of Water Quality has reviewed your submittal for a 401 Water Quality Certification for the
aforementioned project. Review of your application revealed it lacking necessary information required for making
an informed permit decision. The permit application was deficient in the following areas:
• Application not accurate. We understand that the impacts to jurisdictional resources have been reduced or
otherwise altered from what was listed in the original application in order to comply with CAMA regulations.
NC DWQ has not received any formal notification from DOT informing us of these changes. Please submit a
revised PCN application and plan sheets that show these revisions.
Therefore, pursuant to 15A NCAC 2H .0507(a)(5), we will have to place the permit application on hold until we are
supplied the necessary information. You have 21 business days to respond in writing with the requested information
or notification to this office that the information is forthcoming. If, at the end of the 21 days, this office has not
received this information in writing, we will assume you are withdrawing your application and it will be returned.
Furthermore, until the information is received by the NC Division of Water Quality, we request (by copy of this
letter) that the US Army Corps of Engineers place the permit application on hold.
If you have any questions or require additional information, please contact Garcy Ward at [phone]
Sincerely,
a-
Garcy W rd
