Subject: REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Coble Farm Subdivision
Dear Ms. Coble:
On November 1, 2018 the Division of Water Resources (Division) received your application
dated October 31, 2018, and payment on November 6, 2018 requesting a 401 Water Quality
Certification from the Division for the subject 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:
Please provide more details regarding avoidance and minimization of wetland impacts
for this project. [15A NCAC 02H .0506(f) and (g)]
This Office believes that the wetland impact labeled on the plans as Wetland
Impact #1 A, B, and C can be reconfigured to minimize the impacts to the
wetland. The wetland impact of 225 square feet on the western side of Coble
Farms Drive appears to be part of the stormwater control facility. Wetland
impacts are not allowed for the construction of stormwater control facilities.
Please reconfigure the rip rap outlet dissipater to eliminate this impact. It
appears that the retaining walls could be moved further in towards the Coble
Farms road crossing to minimize the impact to the wetland. Please revise the
plans to minimize the impacts or provide a detailed explanation of why this plan
for the activity cannot be practically accomplished, reduced or reconfigured to
better minimize disturbance to the wetland.
The wetland impact labeled as Wetland Impact #3 A on the plans does not
appear to be necessary. Please eliminate this impact or provide additional
information as to why it is necessary for this project.
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. Please respond in writing within 30
calendar days of receipt of this letter by sending one (1) copy of all of the above requested
information to the 401 & Buffer Permitting Branch, 1617 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC
27699-1617 OR by submitting all of the above requested information through this
link: https:/Iedocs.deg.nc.gov/Forms/Supplemental-Information-Form (note the DWR#
requested on the link is referenced above).
If all of the requested information is not received within 30 calendar days of receipt of this
letter, the Division will be unable to approve the application and it will be returned. The return
of this project will necessitate reapplication to the Division for approval, including a complete
application package and the appropriate fee.
Please be aware that you have no authorization under the Section 401 of the Clean Water Act
for this activity and any work done within waters of the state may be a violation of North
Carolina General Statutes and Administrative Code.
Please contact Chad Turlington at (910) 433-3320 or chad.turlington@ncdenr.gov if you have
any questions or concerns.
Sincerely,
Trent Allen
