REQUEST FOR MORE INFORMATION
Dear Mr. Romano:
On January 22, 2007, the NC Division of Water Quality received your application for
stream impacts with respect to .your proposed development along Otter Creek Road.
Based on our review of your submitted 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:
15A NCAC 02H .0506 (f) requires that "a lack of practical alternatives" be
demonstrated. No discussion in regards to developing the project without the
impacts requested has been presented. A discussion regarding practical
alternatives with respect to a reduction of impacts must be presented.

2. Application Item Ill. requires a detailed site plan showing property boundaries and
development plans in relation to surrounding properties. No such plan was
submitted as part of the application.
3. Application Item II1. 10. requests a description of the overall project. Your
submitted application details the requested impact, but fails to describe the
proposed use of the 124.82 acres. You must review the instructions for
Application item III. and provide not only site plans, but also proposed building
sites, a delineation of all streams and wetlands within the project boundary, and
eland use descriptions such that the agencies can determine potential collective
. ~~mpacts related to your project.
4. Application Item XI. Requests a stormwater management description for the
entire development, for the life of the development. You application states that
an Erosion and Sediment Control Plan will be submitted. An Erosion and
Sediment Control Plan only addresses stormwater for events up to and including
the 10-year storm event, for the period of land disturbance. This in no way
addresses long-term stormwater management for the site. You must provide a
detailed description as to how stormwater will be managed for the life of the
development.

of this information to the 401 Permitting Unit at:
