SUBJECT: Vance County, US 1 north from 0.5 miles north of
the Tar River to US 1 Business south of Henderson,
TIP No. R-0607 B, Project No. 6.399001T.
The North Carolina Department of Transportation proposes
to widen US 1 from a two-lane highway to a multilane
facility, beginning 0.5 miles north of the Tar River and
ending at US 1 Business south of Henderson in Vance County.
The project is scheduled to be let to contract in January,
1994.
All wetland impacts related to this project are
authorized under Corps of Engineers Nationwide Permit 26
(above headwaters). The impacts to wetlands at each separate
and individual impact site are less than one acre in size,
and therefore do not require Corps of Engineers notification
according to the "Notification" general condition of 33 CFR
330.6(C13). However, three sites involve impacts greater
than one third acre, and will require notification to the
Division of Environmental Management. All three of these
sites involve impacts to bottomland hardwood systems in areas
where existing culverts underneath US 1 are to be extended.
Site 1 is approximately 800 feet south of the
intersection of US 1 and SR 1114 (Mitchell Road) on the west
side of existing US 1 (see enclosed map and directions).
0.39 acres of wetland habitat will be impacted at this site.
Site 2 is immediately south of the intersection of US 1
and SR 1114 (Mitchell Road) on the west side of existing US
(see enclosed map and directions). 0.51 acres of wetland

r '
habitat will be impacted at this site.
Site 3 is approximately 0.8 miles north of the
intersection of US 1 and SR 1114 (Mitchell Road) on the west
side of existing US 1 (see enclosed map and directions).
0.35 acres of wetland habitat will be impacted at this site.
With the above information in mind, NCDOT requests that
the subject project be authorized under General Water Quality
Certification 2671. Included for your information are a site
map and set of drawings showing the proposed work at each
site, as well as a pre-discharge notification application.
If you have any questions concerning this application,
please contact Mr. Doug Huggett of NCDOT's Environmental Unit
at [phone].
