Dear Mr Crofford:

This letter is in further reference to your joint permit application for McIntire Road Extended, in Charlottesville, Virginia (08-4060).

Based on all information we have received to-date, we have concluded that the project plans we are currently reviewing do not show a terminus at the southern end of McIntire Road. In order for us to continue our evaluation of the proposed McIntire Road Extension, the work must be a single and complete project with logical termini.

Please submit additional plans, including quantifications of any additional impacts to waters of the U.S., necessary to complete the project to a logical ending point. Once we receive this information, we will continue processing your application.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. If you have questions, please call Ms. Kathy Perdue at (757) 201-7218.

Sincerely,

[signature]

J. Robert Hume, III
Chief, Regulatory Branch
