Good afternoon all,
During ROW acquisition for R-3300B the Department had to purchase 3 commercial parcels on west side of Caison Drive
off of US 17 at the Northern Interchange due to impacts associated with the interchange (see attached NCDOT Parcel
Figure for parcel locations). These parcels are currently being used for the Conti field office and the warehouse on the
back parcel is being utilized by NCDOT. The Division has determined that this site and existing warehouse would be an
excellent location for a NCDOT maintenance satellite yard for Pender County. In order to maintain access to these
remnant parcels during and after construction, the driveway will need to be extended parallel to US 17 for
approximately 1500 ft as shown in the attached figure (R-330013 Caison Driveway Extension Revision). The proposed
driveway extension requires no additional ROW, will not require any additional clearing or utility relocations and have
no additional impacts to jurisdictional resources. It is proposed within the existing disturbed area of the project.
Please review this information and let me know if your agency has any concerns with this proposed revision. Since this
proposal will have no new impacts to jurisdictional resources we are not anticipating a need to modify the 404 or 401
permits issued to this project. However, we do understand that this will require review and approval from DCM from a
federal consistency perspective. If there are no objections to this proposed revision, revised permit drawings showing
the driveway will be provided for your records.
In regards to the permit drawings, 8 roadway permit drawings and 1 utility permit drawing will need to be revised to
show the driveway extension. Please let me know if you have preference of Oust receiving the applicable revised permit
drawings or if you would prefer a new set of permit drawings for the entire project.
Thank you and feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions or require any additional information. This is a
time sensitive proposal from a construction and contract standpoint, so your timely review and response will be much
appreciated.
