Mr. Lanny Clifton,

Please reference the Department of the Army (DA) Nationwide Permit issued to Steel Bridge Crossing,
LLC., dated March 27, 2020, for impacts to construct the Everwood residential subdivision, near Four Oaks,
Johnston County, North Carolina. Specifically, the United States Army Corps of Engineers, Raleigh Regulatory
Field Office (Corps) authorized the permanent discharge of fill material into 0.062 acre of wetland. Please find
the enclosed copy of the DA Nationwide Permit and general conditions, authorization, and permitted plans.

On January 11, 2024, the Corps performed a routine compliance review of the site which revealed the
following.

Regional Condition 9: Installation of culverts in wetlands shall ensure continuity of water movement and be
designed to adequately accommodate high water or flood conditions. For all NWPs that involve the
construction/installation of culverts, measures shall be included in the construction/installation that will promote
the safe passage of fish and other aquatic organisms.
-The culvert installation on the recent extension of Mahogany Way appears to be installed suspended over
the wetland.

measures proposed for placement in waters of the U.S. The structures and measures should be depicted on
