Dear Mr. Henry Wicker,
ANTI TONY J. TATA
SECRETARY
The North Carolina Department of Transportation is requesting that the USACOE permit # SAW-
2-13-01129 be extended to April 15, 2015. The current permit was issued with an expiration date of May
15, 2014 with the anticipation of the proposed project being completed within this time frame. However,
due to unanticipated planning and contracting time frames, it has become apparent that the proposed project
will not meet that schedule. The new schedule is being dictated by weather, environmental and contractor
availability windows, which require flexibility within the permits completion date. NCDOT's request to
extend the permit to April 15, 2015, which will provide for an adequate time frame to insure a chance for
successful contracting and completion of the proposed project.
NCDOT appreciates your efforts and time involved in working with us on this project. Our ability
to maintain NC 12 as a viable route for the citizens of Hatteras Island involves cooperation and efforts from
federal and state agencies. Without your cooperation and efforts towards serving the public, it would not be
possible for NCDOT to fulfill this role. If you have questions or need additional information, please call me
at (252) 482 -1876.
Sincerely,
Jerry Jennings
Division One Engineer

Division One Ennmental Officer
