Dear Andrew Williams and Cindy Karoly:

DENR - WATER MJAL'TY
WETWIDS AND STORIAA'ATER BRANCH
Please find the attached Pre-construction Notification (PCN) and supporting documentation to apply for a
Nationwide Permit (NWP) No. 14 for the relocation of Deep River Road in High Point, NC.
The City of High Point has retained Stantec Consulting to provide design services for the relocation of Deep
River Road at the intersection of Deep River Road and Eastchester Road. The project will consist of
relocating the current intersection of Deep River Road and Eastchester Road to where Lake Forest Drive
intersects Eastchester Road. The purpose of the Deep River Road relocation project is to improve safety for
all travelers and reduce traffic congestion through the corridor. Anticipated growth in the surrounding area is
expected to increase traffic volumes in the following years on this major thoroughfare intersection.
Stantec has also been retained to provide environmental services related to permitting. Two drainage
features and their associated Randleman Lake watershed riparian buffers are located within the project's
disturbance area. The first stream, Unnamed Tributary 1 (UT-1) to the West Fork of the Deep River is an
intermittent stream located on the northeast side of the proposed intersection of Deep River Road and Willard
Road. The general flow direction for UT 1 is from west to east toward another Unnamed Tributary that flows
from north to south into the West Fork of the Deep River. Unnamed Tributary 2 (UT-2) and Unnamed
Tributary 3 (UT-3) to the West Fork of the Deep River are perennial streams located on the south side of the
proposed intersection of Deep River Road and Eastchester Road. UT-2 begins at a culvert outfall under NC
68 (Eastchester Road), while UT-3 flows from east to west for approximately 25 feet before converging with
UT-2.
New road fill associated with a new turn lane on Eastchester Road will result in 40' of permanent impacts to a
perennial stream (UT-2). Randleman buffers will also be impacted by this road widening. The proposed
impact to the buffer of UT-3 is a temporary impact created by the installation of a temporary rock check dam
associated with a temporary sediment basin required by the Sediment and Erosion Control Act. Upon
completion of the project, the temporary rock check dam will be removed and the impact site will be restored
to pre-construction conditions. The area of both impacts will be less than the area threshold requirement for
buffer mitigation. The proposed riparian buffer impacts have been quantified and are included in the PCN
form. A reasonable effort has been made to minimize the impacts of the roadway drainage design to the
riparian buffer of the Unnamed Tributaries located within the Randleman Lake Watershed.

Re: Drainage feature located at Willard Road and Deep River Road, High Point, NC,
Randleman Rule (15A NCAC 02B.0250) Surface Water and Stream Origin Determination
Dear Mark:
The Engineering Services Department conducted a site visit on April 17, 2009, to identify the existing
drainage feature located at the intersection of Deep River Road and Willard Road. The drainage feature
is not indicated as a stream on the City of High Point Geographical Information System (GIS), USDA
Soil Survey of Guilford County, USGS Quadrangle Map, or the City of High Point Water Supply
Watershed Map, This drainage feature was evaluated using the North Carolina Division of Water
Quality Stream Identification Form. The results of the evaluation indicate that for the section of the
drainage feature beginning at the outlet of the existing 24" RCP located on the east side, of Deep River
Road, and ending 69' downstream, does not possess sufficient riparian characteristics to be classified as
surface waters for the purpose of application of the requirements of ISA NCAC 02B .0250, Randleman
Lake Water Supply Watershed: Protection and Maintenance of Riparian Areas. Stream buffers are not
required for this section of the drainage feature. However, the section of the drainage feature
downstream of the point referenced above does possess sufficient riparian characteristics to be classified
as intermittent surface waters for the purpose of application of the requirements of ISA NCAC 02B
.0250. Stream buffers will be required for this section of the drainage feature.
Please note that the drainage feature was only evaluated to a point located 242' downstream of the
existing 24" RCP that was referenced above. At this point an existing RCP under Willard Road
discharges into the drainage feature. The characteristics of the drainage feature appear to change
somewhat at this confluence. The drainage feature was not evaluated beyond this point.
If you need any additional information, please contact me at (336) 883-8583.

This letter is to document the sne visit that the.Engmeenrig Services Deparbiient conducted on April 30, 2007.
The purpose of the site visit was to identify the. existing diarnage feature located at the proposed intersection of
Deep River Road and Easkliester Drive The. drainage feature is ndicated•as'an intermittent stream on the
USDA Soil Survey of Guilford County It.is not indicated as are'Wlated stream on the City of High Point
Geographical Information System (GiS), USGS Quadrangle Map or the ;ity of High Point Water Supply
Watershed Map. The drainage,fcsture was evaluated m iwo dtff6rent{spotion < on Apnl30, 2007, using the North
Carolina Division of: Water Quality„Stream Identification'Form ;The first sec Jon of the drainage feature consists
of the upstream portion that is located where the proposed intersection of the road will be located. It also
includes an existing 18" HDPE pipe and extends to 30' downstream of the piF a outlet. The second portion of the
drainage feature begins 30 downstream of thz HDPE pipe'outlct and extends,just beyond the-confluence with the
existing RCP pipe outlefat 6astchester Dnvei The results of the evaluation indicated that the first portion of the
drainage feature does not posse'ssi sumhctent:-riparian characteristics tobe classified as surface waters for the
purpose of application of;the•requir-ements ofA SA NCAC 02H :0250; Randleman Lake Water Supply Watershed:
Protection and Maintenance of Roarian Areas. Stream buffers are not required for this section of the drainage
feature. However, the,,secptid portion of fhe }Oramagc,feature downstream of• the point referenced above does
possess sufficient riparian-characterispcs to;•,.be classified as pe[unniat surface waters for the purpose of
application of the requirements of 15A NCAC 0213 .0250: `Stream btimfers will be required for this section of the
