Mason,

Thanks for allowing us to take a look at the dilemma Division 3 faces in order to provide access to the Cameron tract.
The Corps requests you avoid all jurisdictional impacts if possible. That being said considering sequencing; avoidance,
minimization, and then mitigation for unavoidable losses, the Corps would like Division 3 to explore using a combination
of Farm Rd. and the Beane property since currently owned by NCDOT. It appears this would provide the Cameron's a
similar style access as they currently have from Sidbury. The program places avoidance above mitigation and therefore if
your potential mitigation site loses some of its opportunity, it comes as a result of project avoidance which would be
appropriate.

If there are justifiable reasons why this access can not be used please provide such reasons. This access was never
realized while we were progressing through Merger nor when the Beane property was initially scoped.

If there is a way to avoid all impacts or greatly minimize impacts the Corps would prefer to explore those options first.

Brad

In the process of acquiring R-3300A R/W, the Division discovered that there is a 460 acre parcel, owned by the
Cameron's, adjacent to the Beane property that is land locked because the -L- line of the project cuts off their existing
access road from Sidbury. This property is very expensive and the Division is trying to find a way to provide them new
access and minimize the R/W claim. Attached are couple of maps that show options that we are considering, using the
delineation for the project and Beane property delineation which is not verified. Per the attached map, the access
from Farm Rd would be a combination of green and yellow which utilizes existing Farm Road's deeded 60 ft. easement
and existing soil roads/trails to their property line. The Cameron's would prefer a separate and direct connection from
Sidbury to the East of their property. Yellow utilizes the road system for a development that has been dormant for a
while and pink utilizes the gas line easement. We looked an alignment further South but that would cross a significant
natural management area and RCW habitat so we ruled that option out. We are also considering an service road
parallel to the R-3300 -L- line that would tie to their existing access but impacts would be substantial. The typical for the
service road would be 2 - 10 ft lanes with 2 ft shoulders. We are looking at getting the firm to flag jurisdictional areas
that may be missing in these proposed corridors and provide us with some impact numbers.

I just wanted to make you aware of the issue and see if you have any opinions on these alternatives or if you have any
information that would be helpful in developing an access road to this parcel.

Thanks!
