Dear Sir:
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to widen NC 86 (South
Columbia Street) from SR 1906 (Purefoy Road) to SR 1902 (Manning Drive) in Chapel Hill.
There will be 10 feet of temporary surface water impacts to an unnamed tributary to Morgan
Creek. These impacts are for temporary stream access for bank stabilization. The bank
stabilization will occur in a non jurisdictional channel section upstream of the access reach,
which is jurisdictional.
The project was scheduled to start construction in 2009, however funding for the project was
delayed and the project was never constructed. At this time, funding for the project is anticipated
and the NCDOT plans to proceed with construction. The current LET date for TIP No. U-0624
is November 15, 2011. This project has a current Section 404 Nationwide 33 Permit that expires
on November 17, 2010. At this time, the NCDOT would like to request an extension of the
Section 404 Nationwide 33 Permit. It is estimated that construction of the project will take
approximately three years. By extending the permit we would like confirmation from the
USACE that the verification of the streams in the permitted areas remains valid unless a permit
modification is applied for.
