The DWQ has determined that your application remains incomplete and/or provided inaccurate information as discussed below. The DWQ will require additional information in order to process your application to impact protected wetland, streams and/or buffers on the subject property. Therefore, unless we receive the additional information requested below, we will have to move toward denial of your application as required by 15A NCAC 2H .0506 and 2B .0233(8) and will place this project on hold as incomplete until we receive this additional information. Please provide the following information so that we may continue to review your project. Additional Information Requested: 1. Geotechnical Report Your geotechnical report references auger refusal at a depth of 13 feet. You must reach bedrock at a depth of 3-5 feet in order to have the required soils to allow for a bottomless culvert per, DIVISION OFHIGHWAYS -GUIDELINES FORDRAINAGE STUDIES AND HYDRAULIC DESIGN, PREPARED BYA. L. HANKINS, JR., P.E. STATE HYDRAULICS ENGINEER -1999. This report states, "When a shallow (3-5 foot max. depth) non-erosive rock foundation is found throughout the proposed site, the structure can be built on footings without a bottom allowing retention of the natural channel bed. Please revise your plans to show you are not using a bottomless culvert in the proposed location. 2. Diffuse Flow On February 6, 2007 DWQ had a meeting with you to discuss the possible alternatives for diffuse flow at your site.
