Wetlands Parking lot expansion, High Point Regional Hospital. Guilford County Project # 91813 Upon review of your request for Water Quality Certification to place fill material in 0.116 acres of wetlands for parking lot expansion located at High Point Regional Hospital in Guilford County, we have determined that. the proposed fill can.be covered by General Water Quality Certification No. 2176 issued November 4, 1987. A copy of the General. Certification is attached. This Certification may be used in.qualifying for coverage under Corps of Engineers' Nationwide Permit No. 26. If you have any questions, please contact John Dorney at 919/733-5083. Sincerely, Ogeo T.

C. Dept. of Environmental Management 512 N. Salisbury Street Raleigh, NC 27604 Dear Mr. Dorney: Y/0/3 Enclosed please find plans for a parking lot expansion project for High Point Regional Hospital. A preliminary investigation of the site indicates that there is approximately 0.116 acres of jurisdictional wetland located within the banks of a tributary that bisects the property. Under Nationwide 401 General Certification, I would like to request the introduction of fill material to within the wetland limits. Discussions with Mr. John Thomas, U. S. Army Corps of Engineers, indicate that the wetlands would most likely qualify under Nationwide 26 General Permit, and that he will visit the site on Friday, November 15, 1991, for confirmation. I have also spoken with Mr. Boyd Devane of your office, who has indicated that the site is in the Payne Creek Watershed, Class C, which flows into the Rich Creek Watershed, also Class C. He also indicated that introducing fill material into a Class C watershed would have minimal impact on the water supply. Unfortunately, we are on a very short time fuse, as the hospital would like to pave the lot before the asphalt plants shut down for winter. If you feel there is a need to visit the site or additional investigation is required, I would appreciate your contacting me as early as possible. If I can be of any assistance in facilitating the permitting process, please contact me. Sincerely, DEREK CHURCH WILLIAMS LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE, PA 0? S' aw'(Z' William S.
