Re: Section 401 Water Quality Certification for the Hartley Drive Widening and Extension
Dear Mr. Pugh:
On November 28, 2007, the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (DWQ) received your application for a
401 Individual Water Quality, to impact 0.349 acres of wetlands and 518 linear feet of an unnamed tributaries to
Rich Fork in Guilford and Davidson Counties in order to construct the Hartley Drive Widening and Extension.
Additional information is required in order that we may determine your project's compliance with 15A NCAC
2H.0500. The DWQ will require this information in order to process your application to impact protected
wetlands and/or streams on the subject property. Therefore, we will place this project on hold as incomplete
until we receive this additional information, and if we do not receive the additional information requested
below, we will have to move toward denial of your application as required by 15A NCAC 2H .0506. Please
provide the following information so that we may continue to review your project.
1. Please submit a copy of your proposed stormwater management plan. The plan should include
drawings to indicate the location of the proposed stormwater treatment systems.
2. As discussed during a field visit on January 29, 2008, please submit a detailed on-site mitigation
plan. You currently propose meeting some of your mitigation requirements with a stream
relocation/restoration and wetland creation adjacent to the project. The Division will need a
detailed mitigation plan, including plan views, profiles, planting plans, and monitoring proposal,
in order to complete our review. Please note that we discussed that the stream relocation will
require a 50 foot protected buffer, except where it is directly adjacent to the roadway. We also
discussed that the mitigation areas will need to be legally protected in perpetuity.
3. As discussed during a field visit on January 29, 2008, please revise your application to include
all temporary impacts that will be associated with utility relocations.
4. Please provide the Division with a copy of your response to the USACE public comments
received.
5. Please provide a profile view and cross section of all the proposed stream culverts. N""o",??Carolina
