The North Carolina Department of Transportation is starting the project development,
environmental, and engineering studies for the replacement of Bridge No. 5 over Chapel Creek on
SR 1103 Esclip Road in Pasquotank County. The US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) is the

Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) and a Permit is anticipated under
the Section 404 Process with the USACE. The project vicinity map is attached. The coordinates
of this project are approximately Lat. 36.160961' Long.-76.165992°.
This project was reviewed/surveyed for cultural resources by NCDOT under the terms of the
Programmatic Agreement Among the Federal Highway Administration, the Advisory Council on
Historic Preservation and the North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office for Minor
Transportation Projects in North Carolina (PA). Please find attached Archaeology Survey
Report. An Archaeological Survey was not required for this project.
In accordance with Section 106 of the NHPA, we also request that you inform us of any historic
properties of traditional religious or cultural importance that you are aware of that may be
affected by the proposed project. Be assured that, in accordance with confidentiality and
