Good morning, as requested by Mr. Turlington this morning I have attached a modified PCN for the Cape Fear River
Fisheries Enhancement Project. We have revised the PCN to indicate impacts will occur to Open Water vs Stream in the
amount of 0.5 acres. Please review and let me know if you need any further information.

D. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project.
The proposed project was coordinated closely with state and federal resource agencies to ensure design and placement location avoided any and all
potential impacts. The location of substrate placement is downstream of the scour hole below Lock and Dam 2 as well as upstream of the USACE's
disposal site. The spawning enhancement site will not be a navigation hazard to recreational boaters. Signage will be added to the site.
1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques.
The proposed project has been discussed thoroughly with the USACE - Wilmington District and determined the substrate material (1,000 tons) will be
off - loaded and stored in a grassy easement area of the parking lot at Lock and Dam 2. There is no risk for erosion of river bank. No in -water
construction will take place during the annual anadromous fish moratorium window (February 1 - June 15).

2a. Does the project require Compensatory Mitigation for
impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State?
