Dear Madam,
As construction activities progress on the above-referenced project, the proposed steep slopes have resulted in
an unconstructible design, as roadway iill slopes will need to extend farther than originally proposed in the
median of Interstate 77.
This modification results in the impact change from bank stabilization to permanent stream fill, to UT to
Torrence Creek (Intermittent) at Site SC.
Below is the original (permitted) impact description from the December 12, 2016 Pernut Application:
Stream Permit Site S-C: To accommodate the widening to the median, a 35 lf extension of a 30" RCP, and 65 lf
of bank stabilization will be required. In addition, there will be < D. 01 acre (17 � of temporary stream impacts
associated with these activities.
The impact description at this site remains accurate, but the 30" reinforced concrete pipe will now need to be
extended 14 additional feet from 35 to 491inear feet. This reduces the amount of bank stabilization that will be
needed from 65 feet to 51 feet.

The purpose of this letter is to notify you that the Division of Mitigation Services (DMS) will provide
the additional compensatory stream mitigation for the subject project. Based on the information supplied by you
on July 27, 2018, the impacts are located in CU 03050101 of the Catawba River basin in the Southem Piedmont
(SP) Eco-Region, and are as follows:

�`NOTE: Some of the stream impacts may be proposed to be mitigated at a 1:1 mitigation ratio. See pernrit application for details.
This additional impact and associated mitigation needs located in Catawba 03050101 were not projected
by the NCDOT in the 2018 impact data. The NCDOT is not proposing any additional impacts to streams in
Catawba 03050103 at tbis time. DMS is currently providing stream and wetland mitigation for the impacts
associated with tbis project located in cataloging units 03050101 and 03050103 of the Catawba River basin as
required by the 404 and 401 permits issued in 2016 and 2017, as shown in the below table (in mitigation credits)

Dear Mr. Harris:
Please reference the Department of the Army permit issued on January 28, 2016 and the
permit modifications issued May 20, 2016 and November 24, 2016 for the I-77 High Occupancy
Toll (HOT) lanes project (TIP #s I5405, I4750AA and I3311C) which starts north of NC 150 in
Iredell County and continues south along I-77, deviating from I77 at the I-277 interchange and
following I-277 to terminate at North Brevard Street in Charlotte, Mecklenburg County, North
Carolina. The January 28, 2016 permit authorized final impacts for the Central Section of the
project and preliminary impacts for the South and North Sections. The May 20, 2016 permit
modification authorized the final impacts for the North Section and the November 24, 2016
permit modification authorized the final impacts for the South Section. Total impacts authorized
include the permanent impact to 4,1621inear feet of stream channel (of which 225 linear feet is
bank stabilization), <0.01 acre of wetland, and <0.01 acre of open water. Temporary impacts
include impacts to 491 linear feet of stream channel, 0.1 acre of wetland, and 0.06 acres of open
water. Please additionally reference your May 19, 2017, letter requesting authorization for
minor modifications to the final permitted plans for the Central and South Sections. The
modifications will result in the following changes to previously permitted impacts:

'�Permanent Stream Impact includes both permanent fill and permanent impact
After review of the file and the modification request we have determined that the proposed
changes to the permit are minor, and that a supplemental public notice is not necessary.
Accordingly your permit is hereby modified and a copy of the modiiied plans are enclosed.
The total impacts authorized by the January 28, 2016, permit the May 20, 2016 and
the November 24, 2016 permit modifications and this modification include the permanent
im�acts to 1,854 linear feet of stream channel (of which 258 linear feet is bank
stabilization), <0.01 acre of wetland, and <0.01 acre of open water. Temporary impacts
include 3,157 linear feet of stream channel, 0.23 acre of wetland, and 0.12 acres of open
water.
The decrease of 6 lf of permanent stream fill impacts within the Central Section resulting
from this modification will require reduced compensatory mitigation at a 2:1 ratio (mitigation to
impacts). In order to compensate for impacts for this project, mitigation shall be provided by the
Division of Mitigation Services (DMS) in accordance with the provisions outlined on the most
recent version of the attached Compensatory Mitigation Responsibility Transfer Form. The
requirements of this form, including any special conditions listed on this form, are hereby
incorporated as special conditions of this permit authorization. Only mitigation for the Central
Section will be effected by this modification and mitigation requirements for the South and
North Section will remain the same.
It is understood that all other conditions of the original permit remain applicable. You
should address all questions regarding this authorization to Ms. Crystal Amschler at the
Asheville Regulatory Field Office, telephone (828) 271-7980 extension 4231.

The application provides adequate assurance that the discharge of fill material into the waters of the Catawba River
Basin in conjunction with the proposed development will not result in a violation of applicable Water Quality
Standards and discharge guidelines. Therefore, the State of North Carolina certifies that this activity will not violate
the applicable portions of Sections 301, 302, 303, 306, 307 of PL 92-500 and PL 95-217 if conducted in accordance
