Dear Mr. Hopkins:
la -X73
Reference the Department of the Army permit issued to the North Carolina Department of
Transportation (NCDOT) on June 6, 2012, to authorize the discharge of fill material into waters
of the United States, for construction of Section A of the US 501 improvements (TIP No. R-
2241 A), from NC 49 in Roxboro to SR 1602 (Jesse Banks Road), in Person County, North
Carolina, and the subsequent modifications dated August 27, 2013 and December 17, 2013.
Also, please reference your August 19, 2014 letter, requesting modification of the permit for a
net increase of temporary impacts to streams, for a revision to Site 7A. These changes in impacts
result from a field design modification to reflect actual field conditions and to eliminate
continued migration of a head cut upstream from the pipe culvert at Sta 34 +80 -L -RT, Plan
Sheets 10 and 11, Site 7A. Additional mitigation is not proposed because there will be no long-
term loss of stream function.
We have reviewed the requested modification, and determined that it is appropriate and
reasonable, and that no public notice is required for this modification. Therefore, the permit is
hereby modified to include the changes listed and shown in the modified drawings in the August
19, 2014 modification request, for a net increase of temporary impacts to streams of 39 linear
feet, as shown on the encolsed drawings. This section of the project will now permanently
impact 3,608 linear feet of streams (including 3,184 linear feet of stream with more than minimal
function) and 2.38 acre of wetlands, impact 525 linear feet of streams for stream bank
stabilization, and temporarily impact 630 linear feet of streams.

All other conditions of the previously modified permit, including the mitigation
requirement and the permit expiration date of December 31, 2017, remain applicable.

extension 23.
Sincerely,
Kevin P. Landers
