RE: Refinement of CAMA Major Development Permit Na. 89-13 (TIP Na. R-3601}
Widening of US 17-74-76 / NC 133, Brunswick County
Dear Mr. Hancock:
This is in response to your carrespondence, dated March 12, 2015 and March 27, 2Q15,
requesting authorization to revise the construction plans for the project. Your request letter
indicates the following:
The original permitted clearance under the end bents on the eastern side of Bridge No. 107 and
Bridge No. 108 was set at 4 feet to allow for maintenance and inspection, however, due to
oversight, the impacts associated with the excavation to aliaw for this clearance was not
quantified in the drawings or impact suznmary. It has been detertnined that impacts can be
reduced and adequate room can still be allowed for inspection and maintenance if clearance is
limited to 2 feet. Your letter indicates that limiting clearance to 2 feet will reduce impacts to
stream banks and wetlands, avoids the need for riprap be�ow the tide Iine, and will not lead to
scour af the stream banks. This design change will result in an additiona10.01 acre of
excavation in Section 404 wetlands and 0.01 acre of hand clearing from what was quantified in
the permitted drawings and impact summary.
The request also indicates that additional permanent surface water impacts and temporary
excavation are needed around bent one on Bridge No. 107 (eastbound) and 0.01 acre of
permanent surface water impacts and 0.02 acre af temporary snrface water impacts have been
added to the impact summary sheet ta account for the impacts.
This Letter of Refinement authorizes the proposed revisions to the plans as described in your
requests, dated March 12, 2015 and March 27, 2015, including; two (2} revised drawings, dated
March 11, 2015 and revised impact summary table dated revised March 25, 2014. This letter
