Comments on proposed improvements to Allen Road in Pitt Co., TIP U-5875, State Clearinghouse Project No. 17-0115:
• A preliminary JD conducted by SEPI dated 9/9/16 indicates there are 2 potential wetlands in the project area.
The provided scoping document states there are no wetlands.
• The preliminary JD also indicated the presence of 5 potential jurisdictional streams and 2 jurisdictional
tributaries in the project area. The project is in the Tar -Pamlico Basin, therefore the buffer rules will apply in
contrast to what is stated in the provided document.
• Any impacts to wetlands and streams on the project would require a 401 Water Quality Certification and/or
Buffer Authorization and be subject to avoidance and minimization measures.
• Greens Mill Run is on the current 303d list and is listed as impaired for benthos severe. Therefore, the NCDWR is
very concerned with sediment and erosion impacts that could result from this project.
• DWR will be coordinating with the US Army Corps of engineers and the consultant to conduct a site review of
the preliminary JD.
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on this project.
