SUBJECT: Proposal for Deer Creek Mitigation Site
The Deer Creek mitigation site is located adjacent to NC 24 in Carteret County. This site
was constructed to mitigate for 404 wetland impacts associated with NC 24 widening (R-
2105).
NCDOT is proposing to raise the elevation of the emergency spillway of the stormwater
pond at the site. The spillway elevation will be raised to an elevation that is equal to the
elevation of the installed riser pipe within the pond as originally permitted. Elevation
shots recently taken at the site have shown that portions of the spillway are below the
designed elevation.
NCDOT will use DOT Division Personnel to remove the existing riprap and filter fabric
within the spillway. Soil will be added to the spillway to raise the elevation to the desired
height. Filter fabric and the stockpiled riprap will then be replaced over the spillway.
Since this work will occur in a non jurisdictional area, no permit is anticipated.
Once this work is complete, a revised as-built plan will be sent to the appropriate
regulatory agencies.
Thank you for your assistance. If you have questions regarding this project, please
contact Byron Moore, at 733-1150.
