Signature of Permittee ' 47;64 RECEIVED �r - rr ` JUN 0 6 2000 COASTAL MANAGEMENT STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION JAMES B.HUI'.T JR. DAVID McCOY GOVENOR SECRETARY May 30, 2000 Michael F. Bell, P.W.S., Regulatory Project Manager U. S. Army Corps of Engineers Washington Regulatory Field Office P.O. Box 1000 Washington,North Carolina 28779 Dear Mr. Bell: SUBJECT: Proposed Minor Modification to Department of the Army Permit No. 199502334: Improvements to US 64-264, Including the construction of a new Croatan Sound bridge, from west of Maims Harbor to NC 345, south of Manteo, in Dare County; Federal Aid Project No. NHF-64 (6); State Project No. 8.T051401; TIP No. R-2551. Please reference previous correspondence dated January 14, 1999 and a subsequent modification to Department of the Army Permit No. 199502334 issued February 24, 1999. As noted in the referenced permit modification. the planting of the Mashoes Road mitigation site was previously scheduled to be complete by spring of 2000. However, the control of Phragmites australis has not been successful. Since the removal of this species is a permit condition, the NCDOT feels that additional time is necessary to control the Phragmites and to get the entire mitigation site planted. The NCDOT proposes to revise the planting schedule to reflect planting the site during the spring of 2001. The presence of Phragmites within the site warrants herbicide treatment of this species. The Phragmites was treated in June of 1999. However, the site remains contaminated with this species. Since a non-selective herbicide treatment is not presently available for Phragmities, any treatment after planting will damage the desired species. Therefore, the NCDOT requests that the Department of the Army Permit be modified to allow continued treatment of the Phragmites and to plant the site in the spring of 2001. Additionally, the contractor has identified the need for 4 additional temporary 24.0" steel pipe piles in Spencer Creek and 14 additional temporary 24.0" steel pipe piles adjacent to bridge span 22 in the Croatan Sound. The additional piles in Spencer Creek are similar to the previously permitted safe harbor mooring piles in Spencer Creek. The extra piles are necessary to accommodate additional equipment that has recently been employed in the construction of the new bridge over the Croatan Sound. The location of these piles is depicted on sheet 2 of 2 in the attached drawings. The piles will be used as a safe harbor mooring location in the event of severe weather such as a hurricane or tropical storm. The 14 temporary 24.0" steel piles adjacent to bridge span 22 will be used to assist in barge operations associated with the loading and unloading of equipment and materials during bridge construction. The centerline of span 22 is located at Station No. 46+36.06 and is approximately 2078.58 feet east (along the new bridge) of the first bent on the western bridge terminus. All proposed piles are depicted in sheet 1 of 2 in the attached drawings. - Thank you for your time and consideration. The Department respectfully requests that processing of this modification request proceed as soon as possible. By copy of this letter, the Department also requests that the Division of Water Quality and the Division of Coastal Management also modify the 401 Water Quality Certification and the CAMA Major Development Permit respectively. If you have any further questions or would like additional information, please don't hesitate to call. Thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely, D. R. Conner, P. E.

Also reference your subsequent written request dated May 30, 2000, for a permit modification to: a. Revise the planting schedule to reflect planting the eastern side of the Mashoes Road Mitigation Site (MRMS) during the spring of 2001. The planting of marsh species at the MRMS was scheduled to be completed by the spring of 2000. However, on the eastern side of the site, Phragmites australis colonization is still a problem. Because the removal of Phragmites australis is a permit condition, NCDOT proposes to delay planting one year to allow NCDOT two additional opportunities (spring 2000 and fall 2000) to eliminate the Phragmites australis on the site prior to planting the site with marsh grass. According to the permittee, this action would still run concurrently with the construction of the road project and would provide better opportunity to eliminate Phragmites australis. This modification request was coordinated during the annual interagency mitigation meeting on February 18, 2000, with the North Carolina Division of Water Quality, and other appropriate State and Federal agencies. This coordination revealed no objections to this modification request. Therefore, the permit is hereby modified in accordance with the specific work activities described above. It is understood that all conditions of the original permit remain applicable and that the expiration date is unchanged. -Air • Any questions regarding this correspondence may be directed to Mr. Michael Bell, NCDOT Coordinator/Regulatory Project Manager at the Washington Regulatory Field Office, telephone (252) 975-1616, extension 26.
