R-2904---NC 54 widening from SR 1999 (Davis Drive) to SR 1959 (Miami Blvd.) in Durham County
USACE Action ID No. 200220393 and 200421561 (Sept. 10, 2004)
Christina and Eric,
The NCDOT let this project earlier this year. However, actual roadway construction of the project has
been delayed due significant utility issues. Katie Simmons (NCDOT roadside environmental field
operations technician) recently visited the site. As you can see from the attached email, some railroad
project adjacent to the R-2904 project has lost a significant amount of sediment that has entered a
channel on our project.
The channel does appear to be non jurisdictional and non-buffered (according to the permit application);
however, it does eventually flow into site 2 on our project. We just wanted to keep you informed of any
pre-construction issues.

I was on R-2904 yesterday looking around near the railroad work.
I know that our project is on hold for now, but I noticed the
railroad work having an impact on what our plans show as a permit
area (approximately Rt:51+50 to 52+50). We are permitted for
some surface water impact to a section of the small stream that
comes from under the road right by the RR and flows back toward
the beginning of the project. This stream is currently filled
with sediment (by the RR at our permitted impact site, I didn't
go walking in the woods to look downstream) and has areas that
are washing. There were no devices in place to protect this area
from erosion and sediment loss. I went back today and took some
pictures to help us document that these impacts were present
before we began working. I am attaching the photos for you to
see and keep in your files as well.
Thanks,
Katie

Rob,
There is plenty of parking on the road shoulder adjacent the railroad trestle on
NC 54 located near Miami Boulevard.
I suggest that you take the following directions:
-Take I-40 west to Miami Boulevard
-Travel south on Miami Boulevard to its intersection w/ NC 54
-Turn right and travel approximately 1/10 of a mile to railroad trestle.
I will see you there at 3:00 on 7/2/07.

Chris,
3pm Tues is fine...it'll be a quick visit to make sure everything looks
good and stable. Especially since we're supposed to be getting some
more rain this weekend, it'll be good to make sure it's all holding.
Is there a public building (office?) with a parking lot on that stretch
that I could meet you at? Just let me know.
Have a good weekend,
rob

Chris,
Thanks for looking into it and fixing the devices right away. I won't
be able to get over that way right away, but perhaps a quick stop by to
look at it Tuesday...do you have an open hour or two that day?

Rob,
This project was subject to heavy rains last night. Our
inspectors reported greater than one inch of rain in very short
