exceed one acre, or of total impacts to streams (now or in the future) exceed 150 linear feet, compensatory
mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC 2H.0506 (h) (6) and (7). ). This approval shall
expire with the corresponding Nationwide Permit expires or as otherwise provided in the General

this project, two pipes will be replaced in two streams. In stream #1 a 24' x 18"
reinforced concrete pipe will be replaced with a 44' x 24" reinforced concrete pipe. In
stream # 2 a 30' x 48" concrete metal pipe will be replaced with a 50' x 54" concrete
metal pipe. Both these streams drain into the Gumberryswamp.
The NC DOT requests that this work be authorized under the provisions of
Nationwide Permit No. 18. By copy of this letter, the NC DOT also requests that the
