MEMORANDUM:

TO: Division of Water Resources

FROM: James Harrison, NCDMF Fisheries Resource Specialist

SUBJECT: Neuse Goldsboro Section 1135, Wayne County

DATE: May 1, 2020

A North Carolina Division of Marine Fisheries (DMF) Fisheries Resource Specialist has
reviewed the NC Division of Water Resources application for proposed actions that may
impact fish and fish habitats. The proposed project (ID number 20200561) is located near
226 Old Grantham Road in Goldsboro, within Wayne County. The project will occur in the
cutoff channel of the Neuse River, approximately 25’ downstream of the temporary weir
build by the city of Goldsboro in 2016. DMF recommends avoiding any in-water work
during the February 15 through June 30 moratorium period, due to the presence of
anadromous fish spawning area in the river. Please contact James Harrison at
[e-mail] or 252-948-3835. Thank you.
