Re: Memoranda of Agreement (MOA) for NCDOT, Replace Bridge Nos. 9 and 66, at the
borders of Warren and Franklin Counties, North Carolina. The project will adversely affect the
existing historic bridges.
Deax Mr. Nelson:
Enclosed please find a copy of the two MOA between the US Army Corps of Engineers, the
North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT), and the State Historic Preservation
Office, that was developed to address the Adverse Effects of replacing Bridge Nos. 9 and 66 over
Little Shocco Creek, and a floodplain channel, on NC Highway 58 at the boxders of Warren and
Franklin Counties, North Carolina, on the existing historic bridges. Inasmuch as it will be
necessary to secure a Corps pernut under the authority of the Clean Water Act for the bridge
replacement, and there is no other known Federal action related to this project, the Wilmington
District Corps of Engineers served as the lead Federal agency with respect to ensuring
compliance with Section 106 of the Historic Preservation Act. A permit for the referenced
project,
if issued, will contain a condition that obligates NCDOT to comply with the provisions contained
therein.
In accordance with 36 CFR §800.6(b)(1)(iv), we are forwarding a copy of the two executed
MOA for your records.
If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact Eric Alsmeyer at
the Raleigh Regulatory Field Office, telephone (919) 554-4884, extension 23.
Sincerely,
