Rob,
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to extend SR 1744 (District Drive) to SR 1775
(Reedy Creek Road) for access to Statewide Transportation Operations Center and North Carolina National Guard Armed
Forces Reserve Joint Force Headquarters in Wake County A permit application for this project was forwarded to the
United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural
Resources-Division of Water Quality (NCDENR-DWQ) on June 2, 2009. Application was made for a Department of the
Army Section 404 Nationwide Permits (NWPs) 14 and 13 and NCDENR-DWQ Section 401 Water Quality Certifications
(WQCs) No. 3704 and 3689. The NCDENR-DWQ issued a Section 401 Water Quality Certificate and Neuse Buffer
Authorization June 16, 2009.
The previously-sent permit application addressed necessary riparian buffer impacts at Site 3. Activities at this site include
construction of a new pipe arch to convey an unnamed tributary to Richlands Creek. This previously-sent permit
application is depicted below:

An existing underground sewer line is located to the north of the culvert. The previously-sent permit application did not
provide information concerning replacement of a portion of this sewer line. A total of 1,538 square feet of new Riparian
Buffer Zone 2 impacts are necessary to replace the portion of the sewer line. "These new riparian buffer impacts are

These new riparian buffer area impacts will be graded down to natural ground after construction and revegetated with
native species. The Department is hoping that you can provide the preferred method of permitting for these additional
riparian buffer impacts.
Thanks in advance for your continued assistance on our roadway projects.
