Dear Mr. Rochelle:
Reference the Department of the Army permit issued to the North Carolina
Department of Transportation (NCDOT) on October 24, 2019, and subsequently
modified on February 4, 2020, to authorize the discharge of fill material into waters
of the United States, for construction of the Triangle Expressway Southeast
Extension (Complete 540) from NC 55 Bypass in Apex to US 64/264 (1-87) in
Knightdale, Wake and Johnston Counties. Sections included within this permit are
R-2721 , R-2828, and R-2829. At this time, only STIPs R-2721A&B and R-2828 are
authorized for construction; STIP R-2829 has not yet been through final design, has
not completely minimized impacts to waters and wetlands, nor has a final
compensatory mitigation plan.
Also, please reference your December 15, 2020 letter, requesting modification
of the permit to authorize impact changes due to construction method design
revisions for Permit Site 7 within Section R-2721B, as indicated in Revised Table 3,
below.

The Corps has completed the evaluation of your request and has determined
that it is appropriate and reasonable, and no public notice is required for this
modification. Therefore, the permit is modified as requested and as shown on the
enclosed revised Permit Drawings, Sheets 20, 20A, 68, 69, & 69A of 69, labeled
"PERMIT DRAWING PACKAGE LAST REVISED ON 12/08/20."
The modified final design for R-2721B will have permanent impacts to 12.45 acres
of wetlands and 7,982 linear feet of streams that require compensatory mitigation;
therefore, the relevant Compensatory Mitigation Responsibility Transfer Form
referenced in Special Condition 16 has been modified, and it is attached.
Special Conditions 1 and 16 are modified as follows:
1. Work Limits: All work authorized by this permit shall be performed in strict
compliance with the revised permit drawing packages (R-2721A revised on February
21, 2020, R-2721 B revised on December 11, 2020, R-2721 B Utility Impacts revised in
February, 2020, R-2828 revised on February 24, 2020, R-2828 Utility Impacts revised
on February 22, 2020), and R-2721 B Permit Drawings, Sheets 20, 20A, 68, 69, &
69A of 69, last revised on December 8, 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 referenced in this authorization. Any modification to the
referenced permit plans must be approved by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
(Corps) prior to any active construction in waters or wetlands.
16. 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 this form, are hereby
incorporated as special conditions of this permit.
All other conditions of the permit, including the permit expiration date of December
31, 2024, remain applicable. Should you have any questions, contact Mr. Eric
Alsmeyer, via email at [e-mail] or by telephone at (919)
554-4884, extension 23.
