John-
Per our discussion, attached is the email from Pam Davis. Carolina Coastal Railway
had a minor washout that resulted from Tropical Storm Hanna last September. In
order to restore rail service, we repaired the washout. The washout occurred when
wave action resulting from the storm washed over our tracks near Jacks Creek at MP
125.9 in Washington, Beaufort County. The washout did not effect the small bridge
over Jacks Creek or the much larger Pamlico River Bridge at MP 126.2. However, the
track ballast on the approaches to the small bridge were washed away, leaving the
track suspended with no underlying support.
Carolina Coastal made emergency repairs, which consisted of replacing the ballast
and generally renewing the track. We also put down some rip-rap stone along our
right of way.
Could you provide us with a letter indicating whether or not any environmental
regulations apply to these emergency repairs. Please send the letter to:
Douglas Golden, President
Carolina Coastal Railway, Inc.
116 North Bellevue Avenue, Suite 206
Langhorne, PA 19047
I would appreciate it if you could email me a copy. Thanks.

Hi Doug
I consulted with Marc Hamel here on the environmental part of the Railroad
Rehabilitation and Repair application.
He recommends calling the Wilmington office of the Corps of Engineer
http://www.enr.state.nc.us/regionaloffices/offices/wilmemail.htmi
and the NC-DENR Division of Water Quality. The contact for DWQ is John Dorney
[e-mail] 919-733-9646
Describe to them the project work/location (related to the washouts) and let them

know that these were emergency repairs (with the emphasis on emergency) that have
already been completed and they can tell you whether any regulations apply. I'd
try to get their input in writing.

Per our conversation, in completing the emergency repairs, we did not increase the
footprint of the impervious surface. I am faxing you a page from our track chart
that shows the project location.
