Subject: Randleman Lake Wetland Creation
DWQ Project No. 970722
Guilford County
Dear Ms. Spangler:
The Wetlands Unit staff reviewed the wetland creation plans for the subject project and determined that additional
information is necessary to complete the technical review process. The required additional information is as follows:
1. Micro-topography Plan
It is important to establish micro-topography in wetlands in order to increase diversity. As such, a micro-topography
plan should be developed as part of the final grading plan. The plan could include creating as many as five divots,
similar to those created by fallen trees, per acre in areas that are to be cleared or graded. Obviously this would not
be needed for areas that are not to be cleared or graded.
2. Final Contour Plan
Please provide a final contour plan for the Reddicks Creek site and for any other areas that will be graded. or
scarified.
3. Access Plans
Please provide the access routes for heavy equipment at each site. Please indicate that heavy equipment access
area will be ripped or otherwise treated to break up potentially compacted soils.
4. Acreage and Community Type
Please provide the acreage of each proposed wetland plant community type at each site.
5. Construction Sequence
Please provide the construction sequence as it relates to the sediment and erosion control plans.
If you have any questions or would like to discuss this project, please contact me at [phone].
Sincerely,
