Ms. Gilleski,
Thank you for speaking with me earlier concerning the Third Fork Creek Greenway permit
modification (DWQ EXP# 04-1920v4). As we discuss the permit modification will result in there
being a reduction of 420 square feet to the Zone A buffer impacts. This permit modification proposes
two changes to the permit the first is slightly northeast of the Durham Facilities Maintenance
Department parking lot, it would result in the removal 1,200 sq feet of buffer impact from the project
through some minor trail realignments. The second modification is along the southeastern edge of the
parking lot, the curb for the lot will be modified by moving it toward the proposed greenway trail
slightly to southeast, resulting in an addition of 780 sq feet of buffer impact. When these two changes
are combined the net result is a reduction of overall impact to the buffer by 420 square feet. The
attached drawing helps illustrate the proposed activities. There will be no additional impacts to
wetlands or streams as a result of these modifications only a change to the Zone A buffer impacts. If
you have any questions please call me at your convenience. I will be in the office for the rest of this
week barring any projects that pop up. Thank you for your time and assistance in completing our
project.
Sincerely
William Mullin

to .374 acre of wetland, 157 linear feet of intermittent stream, 4,440 sq. ft. of Zone 1 and 7,950 sq.ft. of Zone 2 Jordan
Water Supply buffer (DWQ Project # 04-1920v2). We are requesting to impact an additional 0.034 acre of wetland and

north of Martin Luther King Parkway (SR 1146) in Durham.
Please attach a map of site location using USGS 1:24,000 topographic map and the latest bound and
