Dear Lindsay: Enclosed you will find the following items concerning the referenced project . 1. One (1) set of Plans and Specifications 2. Corrective Action Plan 3. Design Calculations 4. Construction Permit Application (Form 1 and Form 2A) 5. Notice of Intent for Discharges of Stormwater for Large Site with SWPPP. Please forward the enclosures to the proper person for review. At this point, we did not include a check for $200.00 for the large site storm water permit fee. We have proposed to apply the old sand from the sand filter beds to a six (6) acre adjacent grass site owned by the City. If we cannot do that, then we will. require the contractor to haul off and dispose of the old sand and the City will not need the large site storm water permit.

Site Description a. Project description, intended use after NO1 is filed: The proiect involves constructing improvements on an existing wastewater treatment plant site and on an open grass area adiacent to and on the east side of WWrP site. See site map. Part of the proiect involves rehabbing existing sand filters. It is proposed to applv the old sand removed from the sand filters to the 6 acre adiacent grass site, disk and mix the soil and then reestablish the grass cover on the site. It is proposed to install silt fence and small levee around perimeter of the 6 acre site as shown on site map with a silt fence barrier and small settlement basin and rock check dam to control runoff from site until grass is reestablished. The project also involves excavating on the WWTP site to install ~ipes, conduits, concrete boxes and manholes. Runoff from this part of the WWTP site will go to the 6 acre grass area site. All disturbed areas will have grass reestablished or be covered with gravel surface. - - - - b. Sequence of major activities which disturb soils: Installation of silt fence, temporaw levees, other perimeter controls, settlement basin, rock check dam and other items as shown on site map.

    Cargo Transport Infrastructure and Urban Regional Development: The Fort Smith Metropolitan Area Michael S. Yoder* A R T I C L E I N F O A B S T R A C T Received: 17 March 2016. Abstract. Small metropolitan areas of the U.S. are not Accepted: 29 July 2016. sufficiently represented in the urban geography and regional Published online: 30 July 2016. development literature. The Fort Smith, Arkansas Metropolitan Area, historically an important manufacturing center and transport gateway to the southern Great Plains, has recently experienced layoffs of manufacturing workers, and even devastating plant closures. Local political and economic development officials and the private sector look to the region's cargo transport infrastructure as a catalyst to revive the five- county region's economy. Drawing on qualitative research methods, this article provides a summary of the multiple ways that manufacturing and transport businesses in the area utilize the region's two interstate highways, three Class I railroads, a "short line" railroad, and two barge ports. It discusses evaluations by local actors of the transportation infrastructure, and the improvements and expansions they desire. Open-ended interviews reveal ways that local elected officials and economic developers attempt to work together and with state and federal policymakers to enhance regional economic development, by improving the transport system through expansion of its inter- modal capabilities. These collaborations have been partly successful, yet roadblocks to planned improvements to the transport system remain. Key Words: Transport Infrastructure; Regional Development; Qualitative Research Methods; Fort Smith, Arkansas. To cite this article: Yoder, M. (2016).
