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.

Dear Mr. Gilmore:
Reference the Department of the Army(DA)permit issued to you on March 5, 1998,
associated with the widening of approximately 10 miles of U.S. 64-264, including constructing
a new bridge over the Croatan Sound and adjacent marshes, from US 64-264 West of Manns
Harbor to NC 345 South of Manteo, in Dare County, North Carolina(TIP No. R-2551, Federal
Aid Project No. NHF-64(6), State Project No. 8.T051401). 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.
