Potecasi Creek in Hertford County, North Carolina.
Condition number l.a. on your permit prohibits in water work to take place between
February 15 and June 30 of any year. Your request is to extend the allowable work time until 1
March 1996. Through David Moye of my staff, I have consulted with Sara Winslow, NC
Division of Marine Fisheries and Chad Thomas, NC Wildlife Resources Commission regarding
your proposed change to the moratorium. Your request to modify the aforementioned permit to
allow in water work to take place until 1 March 1996 is hereby authorized. This modification is
only valid for this calendar year and NCDOT is reminded that any in water activities not
completed by 29 February 1996 must be delayed until at least 1 July 1996. All previous permit
