REQUEST FOR MORE INFORNL4TION
Dear Mr. Hicks:
DWQ Project # OS-1372 vs. 2
Pamlico County
On December 15, 2006, the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) received your application dated September 18,
2006 to dredge 18,768 cubic yards of sand from below the Normal Water Line of an existing marina and
bulkhead 3272 linear feet of shoreline for the purpose of redevelopment as described in your application. The
DWQ has determined that your application was incomplete and/or provided inaccurate information as
discussed below. The DWQ will require additional information in order to process your application to impact
protected wetlands and/or streams 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 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. Flushing Model
It is indicated that an Oxygen and Flushing Model study was formulated for the new configuration of the marina
basin. Please provide the oxygen/flushing model that was described in Number 6.0 of the Project Summary of the
CAMA Major Application.
2. Impacts to the Neuse River Riparian Buffer
There is a six (6) foot wide walkway landward of the bulkhead proposed for the new basin. Under 15A NCAC 2B
.0233 Neuse River Riparian Buffer Rules this structure is considered as impervious surface within Zone 1 of the
riparian buffer. This use is not listed in the Table of Uses under 15A NCAC 2b .0233 (6) thus requiring a Major
Variance to the rule. Please provide information that a Major Variance has been obtained from the DWQ for this
impact
3. Please provide a vegetation restoration plan for the new areas of the Neuse River Riparian Buffer around the
reconfiettred marina basin.
