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 (Division) 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. The Division received additional information on May 6, 2008. After review of this additional
information the Division has determined that additional information is again 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.
For the three proposed Dry Detention Basins please submit the BMP Supplement Forms and
O&M Form. These forms can be found on the Division's website:
htip://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/su/bmi) forms.htm. Please ensure that all items noted on Worksheet

2. The EEP mitigation acceptance letter submitted with the application is no longer valid. Please
provide a new EEP mitigation letter.

4. Please provide a planting plan for the stream buffer on the north side of the channel that
includes the standard planting density as indicated in the Stream Mitigation Guidelines
document found on the USACE website:
http://www.saw.usace.army.mil/WETLANDS/Mitigation/stream mitigation html. The Division
acknowledges that planting density will not be feasible in the riparian buffer between the stream
and the roadway, however some tree and shrub vegetation will be required to be planted
immediately adjacent to the stream bank.
