Tracey,

The response from NCWRC and NCDMF did not specifically address the NCDOT request regarding the lifting of the entire
moratorium period for the rip rap stabilization part of the project. However, the shortening of the moratorium period to
June 1st should allow sufficient time to complete the placement of the rip rap in this fiscal year.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,

Subject: San Souci Shoreline Stabilization Project in Bertie County

NCDOT requests to modify the permits for the San Souci Road Shoreline Stabilization Project on the Cashie River in
Bertie County. The project was authorized under USACE General Permit 291 (SAW-2015-00047), 401 Water Quality
Certification No. 3900 (DWR project #14-1325), and CAMA Major Permit No. 8-15. NCDOT proposes to use
3

approximately 85 linear feet of sheet piling rather than rip rap in the vicinity of the ferry ramp and the proposed gravel
turn around, as shown in the attached permit drawings. This change would result in a decrease of 150 sq. ft. of wetland
impact (430 sq. ft. down to 280 sq. ft.), and provide better protection for the ferry ramp and the gravel turnaround. The
total length of the shoreline stabilization would remain 240 linear feet. The sheet piling would be installed with a
vibratory hammer on an excavator.

In addition, both the GP291 and the CAMA Major Permit include a permit condition that enforces an in-water work
moratorium between February 15th and June 30th of any year. Due to funding availability for this fiscal year, NCDOT
requests relief from the moratorium. For the rip rap stabilization part of the project, lifting of the entire moratorium
period is requested. For the proposed sheet pile installation, NCDOT requests the end of the moratorium be shortened
from June 30th to June 1st.

The roadway approaching the ferry ramp is intermittently flooded during the summer months, and could prevent the
sheet pile installation for numerous days. The sheet pile installation optimally should take 3 days to complete, with the
majority of it in wetland areas. A 30 day time period before the end of the fiscal year would provide a sufficient window
of time to install the sheet piling. This time period would allow for delays due to adverse weather or road conditions.

Please let me know if you need any additional information or have any concerns we can discuss.
