Cc: Ketner, Brian K Subject: [External] RE: NCDOT HE-0005: Boom Roadway Access & Connectivity Project - Start of Study Notification CAUTION: External email. Do not click links or open attachments unless you verify. Send all suspicious email as an attachment to Report Spam. Aileen, Thank you for your email. The Corps of Engineers is aware of the proposed project, and references the meeting held on 2/23/2022 to discuss the project. Further, the Corps participated in a field verification meeting of potentially jurisdictional resources within the Study Area on 4/5/2022. Based on the latter, there are several areas of potential waters of the US within the Study Area. Further, there are Conservation Areas immediately outside of the eastern -most section of the Study Area where any construction/clearing activities would be in non-compliance with existing Corps of Engineers authorizations (SAW-2000-21655 — Piedmont triad International Airport) and resultant Declarations of Restrictions. Caution would be required during planning/construction to not encroach into this area as this project proceeds. Per our discussion on 2/23/2022, absent a transportation -related purpose and need independent of the Boom facility, any proposed impacts to potential waters of the US for such roadway improvements would be considered part of the PTIA single and complete project and likely require authorization via Individual Permit. It is the Corps' understanding that planning is underway to design such roads to avoid impacts to potential waters of the US. We hope that the above comments are useful as planning proceeds. Please let me know if you have any questions. Sincerely, Dave Bailey David E.
