SUBJECT: Stream Cleanout of UT to Buffalo Creek between SR 1702 (Archers Lodge
road) and SR 1003 (Buffalo Road) in Johnston County.
Dear Sirs:
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to remove
accumulated sediment and debris from UT to Buffalo Creek between SR 1702 (Archers
Lodge road) and SR 1003 (Buffalo Road) in Johnston County. This activity proposes to
permanently impact a total of 250 linear feet of stream channel. The NCDOT anticipates
that this stream cleanout activity will be authorized under Nationwide Permit 3 (NWP 3).
This application is also intended as a request for written authorization from the NC
Division of Water Quality to proceed with a stream cleanout under General Water Quality
Certificate # 3494 (NWP 3) and buffer authorization.
If you have any questions or need any additional information, please contact Chad
Coggins, Division Environmental Officer at [phone]. Your time and effort are
appreciated.
R tfully your ,
