Dear Ms. Taylor:
Subject: 401 Certification Compliance
Sugar Creek Greenway Projects
DWQ #: 06-1210, Kings Drive Reach
DWQ #: 07-0403, Midtown Reach
Mecklenburg County, NC
On August 12, 2008, this office conducted a 401 Certification compliance inspection at the
subject sites to determine if the noted projects were constructed as submitted to the Division of Water
Quality (DWQ). Based on our inspection, the construction appeared to be, in general, compliant. The
following was noted:
¦ The Midtown reach had been "completed".
Due to the soils (sandy/alluvial material) an in field modification was performed using
large riprap along a segment of the reach to hold the bank in place. If possible, it is
suggested that live stakes be worked into the openings between the riprap to assist
in holding the bank.
Plantings are still planned to complete the project during the fall. Be reminded to
submit the Certificate of Completion form.
• Kings Drive reach is currently under construction.
This office was not notified that construction had begun per condition #1 of the 401
Certification. With the exception of this, the work appeared to be'proceeding properly,
with minimal to no impact to water quality.
Be reminded to submit the Certificate of Completion form.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at [phone].
Sincerely,
Alan Jo nso
