Dear Sir:

LYNDo TIPPETT
SECRETARY
Subject: Application for Section 404 and 401 permits for the Knightdale Bypass. US
64 from I-440 (Raleigh Beltline) to existing US 64 near SR 1003,1-440 from 0.83
mile south of US 64 to Poole Road and a portion of the East Wake Expressway
from Existing US 64 to the Proposed US 64 Bypass. Wake County. State Project
No 8.1402202. Federal Aid Project No. NHF-DPI-0199 (004). TIP Nos. R-2547
and R-2641.
The North Carolina Department of Transportation proposes to construct a new
controlled-access, four to six lane, divided highway to be known as the Knightdale Bypass. The
new location of the project consists of the Bypass (R-2547) which would extend from I-440
(Raleigh Beltline) to existing US 64 near SR 1003, and a portion of the Eastern Wake
Expressway (R-2641) from existing US 64 to the proposed Bypass. The project will also include
the widening of 1-440 from 0.83 miles south of US 64 to Poole Road. The new location portion
of the project will be approximately 13 miles in length. This application package consists of the
cover letter, ENG Form 4345, 81/2x11 inch permit drawings, half size plan sheets, and three
mitigation plan documents (Marks Creek Phase I, Marks Creek Phase II, and Benson Grove
Mitigation Plans) and the Neuse Buffer Addendum. The Mingo Creek Mitigation Plan was
transmitted to the agencies on September 11, 2001 at the field review meeting.
Purpose and Need: The main purposes of the proposed US 64 Bypass are to complete an
important freeway link in North Carolina's Intrastate Highway System. This link will reduce the
considerable congestion on existing US 64 and will provide safer operating conditions. In
addition the completion of this link is consistent with the adopted thoroughfare plan, and with
locally adopted land use plans.
Summary of Impacts: Impacts on jurisdictional areas of the proposed project consists of a total of
14.29 acres of permanent wetland impacts of which 12.53 acres are riverine and 1.76 acres of
non-riverine. In addition, there will be 0.13 acres of temporary wetland impacts as described in
detail in the attach summary sheets. The project as presented in the FEIS has 25.91 acres of
