Dear Mr. Wainwright,
ANTHONY .I. TATA
S EC RETA RY
The North Carolina Department of Transportation is requesting that the NC DWQ permit #
20130144v2 be extended to April 15, 2015. 'Che current permit was issued with an erpiration date of May
I5, 2014 (correspondin� USACOE permit expiration date) with the anticipation of the proposed project
being completed ��ithin 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 dale. NCDOT's iequest 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. NCUOT is also working with the USACOF,, USF WS and NPS on the extension of their
pennit. �
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. Wilhout your cooperation and efforts towards serving the public, it would not be
possible 1'or NCDO'1' to fulfill this role. If yuu have questions or need additional information, please call me
at [phone].
Sincerely,
Jerry Jennings
