Anna,
On April 26, 2019, the Division of Water Resources (Division) received your application dated April 23, 2019, requesting a
401 Water Quality Certification for the subject project. On June 18, 2019, the Division received your response to our
request for additional information issued on May 23, 2019. The Division has determined that your application remains
incomplete and cannot be processed without additional information.
The information provided June 18, 2019, does not adequately address the Division's May 23, 2019, request for
additional information. Per 15A NCAC 02H .0506(b)(2), the applicant for a 401 Water Quality Certification must
demonstrate the discharge to surface waters will minimize adverse impacts to fish and wildlife resources. The
information provided thus far does not demonstrate that the discharge will minimize adverse impacts to fish and
wildlife. The application is on hold until the following item is addressed:
Please provide a thorough plan for aquatic life relocation. The plan must include information regarding
anticipated duration and anticipated labor force. The plan should demonstrate the applicant is adequately
prepared to relocate species from the dewatered reservoir, the 290 feet of Bradley Creek below the
impoundment, and the bypass channel once water is returned to the mainstem. [15A NCAC 02H .0506(b)(2)]
Pursuant to Title 15A NCAC 02H .0502(c), the applicant shall furnish all of the above requested information for the
proper consideration of the application. If all of the requested information is not received, the Division will be unable to
approve the application and it will be returned.
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or would like to discuss further.

Mr. Moore and Ms. Aiken,
We have drafted the Maintenance Plan for the Bradley Creek reservoir as a condition required by the US
Forest Service. In Section C of the attached Maintenance Plan, we have addressed WRC's comment 4
regarding the rescue and relocation of aquatic wildlife. Please review this Draft Maintenance Plan and let me
know if you have any questions, comments, or concerns.
All the best,
