Subject: Proposed improvements to NC 109 in Davidson and Forsyth Counties, Federal Aid number STP-109 (1).
State Project No. 34468.1.4, TIP R-2568C.
Dear Dr. Thorpe:
This letter is in reference to the application dated April 19, 2011 for the proposed improvements to NC 109 in
Davidson and Forsyth Counties. The project is being planned in accordance with the 404/N EPA Merger agreement.
The purpose of the permit application is to solicit public input on the proposed reasonable and feasible alternatives.
At this time, the selection of a preferred alternative has not occurred. Pursuant to 15A NCAC 2H .0507 (a), this
application is not considered complete and does not qualify as the formal application for a 401 Water Quality
Certification. Therefore, our 60-day time limit has not been activated. We look forward to participating in future
team meetings on this project.
If you have any questions, please contact Amy Euliss at [phone].
Sin erely,
Brian L. Wrenn
