Dear Ms. Homewood:
On behalf of the City of High Point, STV/Ralph Whitehead Associates, Inc. (STV/RWA)
is submitting this letter of intent to submit the additional information that was requested
by the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) in a letter addressed to Mr. Keith Pugh of the
City of High Point dated June 16th, 2008, after you received our additional information on
May 6th, 2008. This most recently requested information is anticipated to be prepared by
the middle of August. Therefore, we request that the DWQ keep this project file open in
anticipation of these permit materials. The City of High Point has proposed extending
and widening the existing Hartley Drive from US 311 (North Main Street) approximately
6,000 feet to the west, to the intersection of Westover Drive and Shadow Valley Road.
The City of High Point has contracted STV/RWA to be the acting agent and perform
wetland-permitting services for this project that is called "Hartley Drive Widening and
Extension".
The following information will be submitted to the DWQ as soon as it has been prepared:
1. For the three proposed Dry Detention Basins please submit the BMP
Supplemental Forms and O&M Form. These forms can be found on the Divisions
an employee-owned company providing quality service since 1912

website: http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/su/bmp forms.htm. Please ensure that all items
noted on Worksheet #2: Checklists are clearly identified on the engineering plans.
2. The EEP mitigation acceptance letter submitted with the application is no longer
valid. Please provide anew EEP mitigation letter.
3. Please provide construction details for the boulder (toe protection) installation
and the cross vane installation with the stream relocation/restoration area.
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:
hyp://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.
As stated previously, we intend to submit the requested materials to your office before
August 15th, 2008. Please do not hesitate to contact either of the undersigned at 704-372-
1885, if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
STV/RALPH WHITEHEAD ASSOCIATES, INC.
