Dear Mr. Kimes:
Reference the Department of the Army (DA) permit issued on August 10, 2017, for
the discharge of fill material into waters and wetlands adjacent to various creeks, and
their tributaries in order to construct TIP# U-4751 and R-3300 (Military Cut Off Road
and Hampstead ByPass), in New Hanover and Pender Counties, North Carolina. This
was a phased permit for the entire project with only U-4751 authorized for construction
to date. Subsequent permit modifications would authorize construction of additional
phases within the limits of the original permit.
Further reference your April 7, 2020 request for modification to the 2017 permit
mentioned above. This request is for authorization to construct section B of R-3300
which is a 6.916-mile new location phase starting around NC 210 and extending to
Sloop Point Loop Road in Pender County. This phase of the project will permanently
impact 55.428 acres of non-riparian wetlands, 16.886 acres of riparian wetlands, and
5,756 linear feet of stream channel. This phase would also temporarily impact 0.354
acre of wetlands and 489 linear feet of stream channel during construction.
I have determined that the proposed project modifications described above are not
contrary to the public interest and consistent with the 404 (B) (1) and therefore, the DA
permit is hereby modified.
All original conditions in the August 10, 2017 permit remain enforceable with an
expiration date of December 31, 2022. New special conditions follow:
1. All work authorized by this permit shall be performed in strict compliance with the
permit plans 1-165 of 165 dated 4/1/2020 and 6/9/2020, and Utility Plans 1-23 of
-2-
23 dated 4/1/2020 and 6/9/2020 which are a part of this permit. The Permittee
shall ensure that the construction design plans for this project do not deviate from
the permit plans attached to this authorization. Any modification to the attached
permit plans must be approved by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps)
prior to any active construction in waters or wetlands.
2. Any rip rap placed in the main flow (thalweg) of any channel along this project
must be buried to the natural streambed elevation.
3. In order to compensate for impacts associated with this permit, mitigation shall
be provided in accordance with the provisions outlined on the most recent
version of the attached Compensatory Mitigation Responsibility Transfer Forms.
The requirements of these forms, including any special conditions listed on these
forms, are hereby incorporated as special conditions of this permit.
This modification approval will be utilized for future compliance of the project. If
you have questions, please contact Brad Shaver of the Wilmington Regulatory Field
Office, at telephone (910) 251-4611.
