REQUEST FOR MORE INFORMATION
Dear Matoka Snuggs:
On December 6, 2006, the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) 401 Oversight/Express Permitting Unit
received your Minor Variance application dated December 4, 2006 regarding your request for a Minor
Variance from the Neuse Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 2B .0233) for the subject property. The DWQ is
required to prepare a "preliminary finding" /"finding of fact" as to whether the variance request meets the
requirements of 15A NCAC 02B .0233(9)(x). The DWQ may attach conditions to a variance approval
that support the purpose, spirit and intent of the riparian buffer protection program. Conditions usually
include stormwater management and buffer mitigation.
Additional information will be required before we can proceed with the review of your variance request.
Therefore, unless additional information is provided as described below, we will have to move toward
denial of your request per I SA NCAC 2B .0233 and will place this project on hold as incomplete until we
receive this additional information.
Additional Information Requested:
1. Site Plans
Please provide detailed site development plans depicting the location of Zone 1 and 2 of the
protected buffers and the area of impact to the buffers in square feet.
2. Buffer Mitigation
Buffer mitigation will be required as a condition of the Minor Variance. Please provide a buffer
mitigation plan pursuant to 15A NCAC 02B .0242. You can view the mitigation requirement at
the following link: http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/admin/rules/documents/rb080104.pdf
Please respond in writing within three weeks of the date of this letter by sending a copy of this
information to me and to Mike Horan of the DWQ Raleigh Regional Office. If we do not hear from you
in writing within three weeks, we will assume that you no longer want to pursue your variance request
