The Merger Team concurred on this date, October 8, 2015, to eliminate Alternative 4(Best Fit —
Widen Existing NC 150 & Southern Terrell Bypass Option) from further consideration and carry
forward the following 2 build alternatives for presentation at the public hearing.
Alternative 1: Best Fit -Widen Existing NC 150 (No Terrell Bypass Option)
Alternative 2: Best Fit — Widen Existing NC 150 & Northern Terrell Bypass Option
Note:
Alternative 3(Best Fit—Widening Existing NC 150 & Southern Terrell Minimization Bypass Option) was eliminated during the CP2
Meeting held on August 8, 2014 due to the adverse effect on the Terrell Historic District. Indirect and cumulative effects associated
with Alternative 3 would be greater than the "take" impacts associated with Alternative 1.
Alternative 4(Best Fit— Widen Existing NC 150 & Southern Terre118ypass Option) is proposed for elimination due to the significant
stream impacts, geometric design constraints, additional FERC regulated crossings of Lake Norman and Indirect and cumulative
effects on the Terrell Historic District which has resulted in an adverse effects call by the SHPO and Section 4(f) impacts.
