Dear Dr. Haire,

The North Carolina Department of Transportation is starting the project development,
environmental, and engineering studies for the replacement of Bridge #75 (TIP B-4977) over Fish
Dam Creek in Wilkes County, NC.

The Federal Highway Administration is the lead agency and a Permit is anticipated under the
Section 404 Process with the US Army Corp of Engineers.

The project vicinity map is attached.

We would appreciate any information you might have that would be helpful in evaluating potential
environmental impacts of the project. Your comments will be used in the preparation of a
NEPA/SEPA Environmental Document, in accordance with the State and/or National
Environmental Policy Act.

Please respond by December 15, 2019 so that your comments can be used in the project
development process. If you have any questions concerning this project, or would like any
additional information, please contact me at [phone] or email [e-mail].

Sincerely,
