No 401 Water Quality Certification needed for these Impacts
Dear Mrs. Girdwood:
After review of your application, received by the N.C. Division of Water Quality (DWQ)
on November 30, 2005, it has been determined that the proposed work does not require
a Water Quality Certification. However, you should be aware that your project must
comply with the Catawba Buffer Rules as described in 15A NCAC 02B .0243.
This letter completes the review of the Division of Water Quality under Section 401 of
the Clean Water Act. If you have any questions, please contact Mr. Kevin Barnett in the
DWQ Asheville Regional Office at 828-296-4500.
Sincerely,

? Cumulative impact concern
Comments: As per our discussion regarding revision of the triage and delegation processes,
please review the attached file. Note that you are the first reviewer, so this file will need to be
reviewed for administrative as well as technical details. If you elect to place this project on hold,
please ask the applicant to provide your requested information to both the Central Office in
Raleigh as well as the Asheville Regional Office. As we discussed, this is an experimental, interim
procedure as we slowly transition to electronic applications. Please apprise me of any
complications you encounter, whether related to workload, processing times, or lack of a "second
reviewer" as the triage process in Central had previously provided. Also, if you think of ways to
improve this process, especially so that we can plan for the electronic applications, let me know.
Thanks!
