Dear Mr. Hancock:
Reference the Department of the Army (DA) permit issued on April 15, 2014, to Ms.
Deborah Barbour, of the North Carolina Department of Transportation for impacts associated
with the new location project identified as U- 252513C. The project is a 9.7 mile, four- lane /six-
lane divided facility on new location extending from the US 70 relocation to SR 2303 (Lawndale
Drive) in Greensboro, Guilford County, North Carolina. Section B of this project begins at the
US 70 relocation and terminates at US 29 and Section C begins at US 29 and ends at SR 2303
(Lawndale Drive). Coordinates (in decimal degrees) for the site are: 36.089772° North, -
79.697302° West for the eastern terminus and 36.141773° North, - 79.8251200 West for the
western terminus. The site contains portions of four (4) unnamed tributaries to South Buffalo
Creek, twenty (20) unnamed tributaries to North Buffalo Creek, five (5) unnamed tributaries to
an unnamed tributary at Camp Herman, fourteen (14) unnamed tributaries to Reedy Fork, a
portion of Richland Creek, and ten (10) unnamed tributaries to Richland Creek, as well as 50
(50) adjacent wetland areas and five (5) open water ponds in the Cape Fear River Basin (8 -Digit
Cataloging Unit 03030002).
Impacts authorized by the permit as well as subsequent permit modifications dated June
18, 2014 and October 31, 2014 include: 1) The permanent placement of fill material into 23,012
linear feet of jurisdictional stream channel, 9.94 acres of adjacent riparian wetlands, 2.32 acres of
jurisdictional open waters and, 2) the temporary placement of fill material into 628 linear feet of
jurisdictional stream channel and 0.26 acre of adjacent riparian wetlands associated with the
relocation of utility lines. Mitigation was implemented for the unavoidable impacts by payment
into the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program as well as permittee responsible
mitigation referenced in the permit special conditions.

2
Also reference your letter to the Corps, received via email on November 24, 2014,
requesting- modification of the permit for additional impacts to U -2525B including permanent
discharge of fill material into <0.01 acre of riparian wetlands, associated with bridge bent
protection for the Camp Burton Road crossing; this area of new impacts does not result from a
change in design, but rather an oversight during NCDOT's original permit application submittal.
Plans for U -2525C remain unchanged.
The Corps has completed the evaluation of your request and determined that it is
appropriate and reasonable, and no public notice is required for this modification. Therefore, the
permit is modified as listed and shown as Site 11 A in the modified drawings of November 21,
2014 modification request, consisting of revised Permit Drawing Sheets 1, 36, 37, 89, and 93.
The U- 2525BC project now totals permanent impacts to 23,012 linear feet of jurisdictional
stream channel, 9.95 acres of adjacent riparian wetlands, and 2.32 acres of jurisdictional open
waters and, 2) the temporary placement of fill material into 628 linear feet of jurisdictional
stream channel and 0.26 acre of adjacent riparian wetlands associated with the relocation of
utility lines.
Further, and given the increase in overall permanent stream impacts associated with this
modification, as well as your proposal sent via email on November 24, 2014, the following
special condition regarding modified compensatory mitigation has been incorporated, replacing
Special Condition 26A of the April 15, 2014 DA Permit:
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 Form. The requirements of this
form, including any special conditions listed on this form, are hereby incorporated as
special conditions of this permit authorization.
All other conditions of the permit, including the permit expiration date of December 31,
2019, remain in effect as written. Should you have questions, contact Mr. David E. Bailey,
Raleigh Regulatory Field Office at telephone [phone], Extension 30.
Sincerely,

The purpose of this letter is to notify you that the Ecosystem Enhancement Program (EEP) will provide the
compensatory stream and riparian wetland mitigation for the subject project. Based on the information supplied by you
on November 21, 2014, the impacts are located in CU 03030002 of the Cape Fear River basin in the Central Piedmont
(CP) Eco- Region, and are as follows:

*Some of the stream and wetland impacts may be proposed to be mitigated at a 1 1 mitigation ratio See pemut application for
details.
This mitigation acceptance letter replaces the mitigation acceptance letter issued on September 3 and
October 7, 2013. This impact and associated mitigation need were under projected by the NCDOT in the 2014 impact
data. EEP will commit to implement sufficient compensatory stream and riparian wetland mitigation credits to offset
the impacts associated with this project as determined by the regulatory agencies using the delivery timeline listed in
Section F.3 c iii of the N C. Department of Environment and Natural Resources' Ecosystem - Enhancement Program In-
Lieu Fee Instrument dated July 28, 2010 If the above referenced impact amounts are revised, then this mitigation
acceptance letter will no longer be valid and a new mitigation acceptance letter will be required from EEP.
If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact Ms Beth Harmon at 919 - 707 -8420.
