Dear Mr. Lowman:
The Division of Water Quality (DWQ) has performed a preliminary review of a 401 Water Quality Certification
application submitted for the above referenced property. Additional information will be required in order to
complete the review process.
Please provide the following information so that we may continue to review your project.
Additional Information Requested:
Summer Cove Homeowners Association does not appear to be a legally registered entity. In
order to permit this activity, the permittee must be a legally registered entity with the Secretary
of State.
2. The proposed 10 slip marina will be located in Lake Glenville, as Class WS-III, B, HQW water
body. Per 15A NCAC 213 .0215(3)(b)(1)(11) for WS (water supply) water bodies, water
dependent structures "may be allowed where no practicable alternative exists." Because the lake
hosts public marinas, please provide information as to the necessity of an additional marina.
Information and/or concurrence from Jackson County should be provided to ensure that the
proposed marina and associated access complies with Jackson County watershed ordinances (as
this is a Class WS-111 water body).
