RE: R-2514B: 4/12/2011 CP4A Meeting Packet for the US 17 Maysville Bypass
Dear Merger Process Team:
I am writing to invite you to an Avoidance & Minimization (CP4A) Meeting for Section B of the US 17 Project,
and to transmit a copy of the meeting packet for your review.
The meeting is scheduled for April 12, 2011. You will receive an e-mail from Ms. Missy Pair, NCDOT Project
Development & Analysis Branch, inviting you to the meeting and providing you with a draft agenda for the day.
We conducted a CP4A Meeting for the Maysville Bypass (Alternate 2C) on September 17, 2009. We changed
the LEDPA to Alternate 2A on May 25, 2010. Therefore, the purpose of our April 12, 2011 meeting is to discuss
avoidance and minimization measures related to Alternate 2A.
Please call me at [phone] if you want to discuss any issues prior to the meeting.
Sincerely, Mark Pierce, P.E.
Project Planning Engineer

improvements project
5. Avoidance and Minimization Measures:
• Values are calculated and illustrated in tables in this packet for preferred Alternative
2A
• Impacts are based on slope stakes +25'
