Dear Mr. Barber:
On March 5, 2019, the Division of Water Resources — Water Quality Programs (Division) received your
application dated February 15, 2019, requesting an Individual Water Quality Certification and a Jordan
Lake Buffer Authorization from the Division for your project. On August 16, 2019 the Division received
additional information from Timmons Group on your behalf in response to a request issued on March
28, 2019. The Division has determined that your application remains incomplete and cannot be
processed. The application is on -hold until all of the following information is received:
1. As the Division has the same questions and concerns raised by the US Army Corps of Engineers
in their letter to you dated September 7, 2019, please provide the Division with a copy of your
response to items 3, 5 and 7 of their request. [15A NCAC 02H .0506(b)(4)]
2. Please provide additional information regarding the indirect and cumulative impact analysis that
you have provided for the project. Specifically, your analysis indicates that the project will likely
stimulate growth. The sequential following question posed by the Division's policy
(http://portal.ncdenr.org/web/wq/swp/ws/401/policies) is "are the existing uses of the water
likely to be impacted by the growth [emphasis added]?" Your analysis provides information
regarding impacts to be expected from the Project, however the Division's policy is specifically
requesting an analysis of expected downstream water quality impacts as a result of the growth
that the project is likely to stimulate. [15A NCAC 02H .0506(b)(4)]
Pursuant to Title 15A NCAC 02H .0502(e) and 15A NCAC 02B .0267, the applicant shall furnish all of the
above requested information for the proper consideration of the application. Please respond in writing
