Dear Mr. Q'Quinn:

Reference your letter dated September 29, 1993, regarding your plans to
replace Bridge No. 19 over Rockfish Creek and modify approaches to US 117
south of Wallace in Pender and Duplin Counties, North Carolina. (TIP No. B-
1319: State Project No. 8.1270201)
Based on the submitted plans, we concur with your finding that, since no
fill will occur in wetlands as a result of the construction of this project, a
Department of the Army Section 404 permit is not needed for the work.
Construction may begin at your convenience provided all other necessary
permits are obtained.
Questions or comments may be addressed to Mr. Jeffrey Richter, Wilmington
Area Field Office, Regulatory Branch, telephone [phone].
Sincerely,
G. Wayne Wright
Chief, Regulatory Branch

Dear Sir:
36 98,
SUBJECT: Duplin/Pender Counties; Replacement of Bridge No.
19 over Rockfish Creek and approaches on US 117 South of
Wallace; TIP No. B-1319; State Project No. 3.1270201.
The North Carolina Department of Transportation proposes
to replace the existing Bridge No. 19 over Rockfish Creek on
US 117 with a segmented pre-stressed girder bridge and to
make grade and pavement improvements approximately 300 feet
along the northwest side of US 117. The total impact of fill
in wetlands is estimated to be 0.12 acres, due to the
widening of the approaches to the bridge on the northwest
side in order to accomodate proposed guard rails. Design
criteria require the length of the proposed guard rail to
meet minimum safety standards.
NCDOT is requesting that the proposed work be authorized
under the appropr'a astal Area Management Act (CAMA)
permit. This pr j ct was previously authorized by the Army
Corps of Engi e s and epartment of Environmental Management
under Nationw'de' 23 an General Water Quality Certification
3736, respecti ely, d we are providing copies for their
information only.
