Good morning,
NCDOT has requested authorization to construct a pedestrian walkway between the Coastal Studies Institute
and the Visitors Center in Manteo, Dare County, North Carolina. A portion of the walkway would extend over an area of
wetland that was included as mitigation for the impacts associated with construction of the Visitors Center. The permit
condition that refers to the mitigation area specifically prohibits several activities, including walkways and any
structures, including signs. NCDOT proposes to remove three existing culverts and a portion of the remaining soil road
adjacent to the existing mitigation area to compensate for the impacts associated with the walkway. The walkway will
be extended over this area as well. I am forwarding this request for your review. Please let me know if your agency has
any objection to the USACE authorizing construction of the walkway and removal of the soil road and culverts. Please
send me your comments by April 15, 2016. Thank you! Tracey

Tracey,

I had to send this in two emails, because your email said it would not accept it, due to size limits. Second one to follow.

Tracey & Garcy,

I have attached a request for authorization to construct the proposed elevated wooden boardwalk and trail, which
extends from the Coastal Studies Institute to the NCDOT Visitors Center on Roanoke Island. The path follows through
two wooded areas along an existing pathway and two state roads (Toler Road, Skyco Road). There are no proposed
impacts to surface waters or wetlands associated with this request. The request includes permit drawings, photo
illustrations, previous mitigation plat for Visitors and location map. Please let me know if you have any questions or
need additional information. If we need to meet on-site again for further discussion, we can coordinate that with a field
meeting. I also sent a request to DCM for permit authorization through an existing CSI Major permit.

Thanks,

Clay
