Dear Mr. Harris:
Reference the Department of the Army (DA) permit dated July 19, 2019, issued to
the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) for impacts associated with
the construction of a 8.2 mile four-lane median-divided freeway, along with associated
bridges, interchange ramps, and service roads along US 158 near the town of
Garysburg in Northampton County, North Carolina, TIP Project R-2582A.
Also reference your permit modification request letter and attachments received on
August 3 and 12, 2020. NCDOT requests to modify impacts to jurisdictional waters and
wetlands at Sites 1, 3, and 8 by proposing the following:
Site 1: Extend riprap 20 linear feet on streambanks downstream of the proposed
culvert to stabilize the bank in the vicinity of a power pole.
Site 3: Add temporary fill to a wetland area that is constantly inundated. Add 130
linear feet of toe protection to stabilize slope along inundated wetland. Additional temp.
fill in wetlands of 4,085 sq. ft./ 0.09 acres.
Site 8: Placement of additional riprap will be needed to provide bank stabilization
downstream of the culvert replacement. Approximately 30 linear feet of Class B stone or
larger will be placed on both sides of the stream, extending the bank stabilization to the
ROW line. Stone will be placed on the streambanks and not in the stream, impacting no
additional surface waters.
Following evaluation of the information submitted in your modification request, the
Corps has determined that the request is appropriate and reasonable for stabilization
activities provided the following conditions are met:

-2-
a. Mod. Special Condition #1) All work will be conducted in accordance with the
updated plans submitted in association with the modification request sent on August 3,
2020, and August 12, 2020.
b. Mod. Special Condition #2) NCDOT shall obtain all required Local, State, and
Federal permits for this modification prior to conducting the requested work.
This decision is not contrary to the public interest, and no public notice is required
for this modification. Should you have questions, please contact Mr. Kyle Barnes of the
Washington Regulatory Field Office at telephone [phone], or at
kyle.w.barnes©usace.army.mil.
