Dear Landowner:
J. ERIC BOYETTE
SECRETARY
Subject: Replacement of Bridge 380107 on SR 1303 (Graham Hobgood Road) over North Fork Tar River
in Granville County, WBS project BP5.R103.
The N.C. Department of Transportation (Department) is constantly working to provide better and
safer transportation facilities for public uses in North Carolina. The effects that these proposed facilities
have on the human and natural environment are of great concern to the Department and must be adequately
described in environmental documents. As part of this process, the Department is obligated to identify
and document environmental resources so that impacts can be avoided and/or reduced. Streams and
wetlands are two of the resources that must be identified during the review process. The Department has
begun planning studies for the proposed project as described above.
Over the next several months, representatives of the Department including engineers, surveyors, geologists,
and biologists as well as State and Federal environmental agencies, including the Regulatory Division of
the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, may be present on your property. They will be collecting data that
will be used to design the project and conducting or verifying the limits of streams and wetlands pursuant to
Section 404 of the Clean Water Act and/or Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899. These
representatives will be wearing safety vests, have picture ID badges, and will be placing flagging or survey
markers to identify the limits of streams and wetlands, if present, on the property. These markings do
not indicate the final location of a proposed transportation project, but it is very important in our planning
process. Please do not disturb these markers.
Please note that if the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has already issued a Jurisdictional Determination on
your property confirming the presence of streams and/or wetlands, or if you have general questions
or comments about the project, contact the NCDOT Project Engineer for Planning and Environmental
Studies, Chris Murray, by phone at [phone] (office), or via e-mail at camurray(a,ncdot.gov,
and please reference WBS project BP5.R103.
Thank you for your cooperation.
