Hey Lori and Dave,

Just a heads up, you should be receiving a PCN (attached ) for a project that is being handled by the Town of Boone, but
NCDOT was asked to oversee/review the design. A consultant filled out the PCN, signed my name to it, and sent it
own. I thought I was going to be able to review it prior to it being sent out, but we may have gotten our wires crossed.

I don’t think there are any major issues with the PCN (you might even prefer it to how I typically fill them out…), but I
just wanted to let you know since it will look a little different than my typical submissions. I haven’t been involved with
a project like this, where NCDOT is not really doing the work, so not sure how to best handle. In short, let me know if
you need more information, or would prefer we redo the submission.

The primary reason for notifying for this one was the potential for impacts (MANLAA) to bats, so I’m hoping it will be a
relatively easy one to permit. We may have been ok not notifying, but I thought it would be best to do so.

Finally, the consultant didn’t include our NEPA/SEPA document (CE) in the submission, so I attached it above. It
contains the tribal coordination info and environmental commitments (trout moratorium, hellbender coordination,
etc.).

Thanks,

Kevin
