NORTH CAROLINA'S INTERNATIONAL CITYT�"
The City of High Point contracted Stantec Consulting Services, Inc. to conduct a stream and wetland delineation
for the Penny Road Greenway project. This project consists of a proposed ten (10) foot wide greenway trail that
connects the existing greenway at Deep River Road with the existing greenway near the Piedmont Environmental
Center located at Penny Road. The proposed greenway will span over the E. Fork of Deep River and five (5)
jurisdictional streams. Care has been taken to minimize impacts by utilizing bridges and/or elevated timber
boardwalks at all stream crossings, all stream buffers, and all wetlands.
Attached for your review are the following for the Penny Road Greenway project:
1. Five (5) complete and collated copies of a Pre-Construction Notification (PCN) Application Form
2. A check for review fees in the amount of $570.00
3. Two (2) full size (36"x24") sets of plans for the entire project
4. Three (3) 11"x17" sets of plans for the entire project
5. Five (5) copies of supporting documentation (Previous correspondence, Wetland Determination Data
Forms, NCDWR Stream Identification Forms, and a JD form)
Thank you for your assistance with this project. [f you have any questions or require additional information, please
contact me at [phone].
Sincerely,

D. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project.
Bridges or elevated boardwalks are proposed at all stream crossings. All bridges and boardwalks will be supported by piles. There will be no concrete
abutments constructed within the wetlands or stream buffers.

Work in wetlands and stream buffers will be scheduled during dry weather. Hand clearing will be conducted within the buffers and wetlands.
Vegetation will be cut flush with the ground and not grubbed. Bridges will be prefabricated off-site and placed on piles at the site. Piles will not be
located within streams. Temporary culverts will be used for stream crossings during construction. Timber mats will be utilized within the wetlands for
construction equipment.
