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, April 29, 2020, January 7, 2021 , and March 19,
2021 . This permit authorized 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. Currently, 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 April 16, 2021 letter, requesting modification of the
permit (Mod 05) to authorize changes due to an impact evaluation error.
Specifically, the excavation at Permit Site 44, impacting 0.02 acre of wetlands was
previously shown as hand clearing impact.
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 1 , 97, 98, 169, and 171 of 171 , labeled
"Permit Drawing Package Last Revised on 04/15/21 ."
The modified design for R-2828 will have no additional permanent impacts, so
additional compensatory mitigation will not be required.

Note: The drawings listed above are now part of the permit drawing packages
referenced in Special Condition 1 of the permit. All 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
Eric.C.Alsmeyer©usace.army.mil or by telephone at [phone], extension 23.
