REMARKS: Please provide the following information:
1. The project plans indicate there is only a portion of a roadway located on the eastern side of the tract
and oriented in a north-south direction. Based on conversations with representatives of the Town of
Carrboro Planning Department, this roadway is only a portion of a planned connector road within
the Town of Carrboro. As such, please provide additional information, such as, but not limited to,
plans, drawings, etc. that will indicate the alignment of the proposed connector road, in its entirety,
and indicate any potential impacts to waters of the United States. This additional information is
necessary for us to determine if the proposed subdivision is a single and complete project with
independent utility, if the proposed roadway should also be considered as part of the same project,
or if the proposed connector road is a single and complete project that could require additional
authorization and/or mitigation by the Department of the Army. Additionally, the information will
allow us to determine if the proposed road alignment on the submitted plans would preclude
alternatives to avoid and minimize impacts to off site jurisdictional waters, if and/or when the
remainder of the connector road is constructed.
2. Please provide information, such as plans, drawings, etc. indicating if the proposed trails on this
project will connect to existing trails or if additional off site trails are proposed to be built. This
information is necessary for the same reasons as stated in #1 above.
3. Please provide additional information regarding the proposed sewage disposal for this project. Your
pre-construction notification (PCN) indicates that the project will have a gravity sewer line which
will tie into a 30-foot Orange County Sewer easement. Please indicate if there will be any impacts
to jurisdictional waters for sewer line installation within the subdivision boundary. Also, please
indicate if there will be any additional sewer lines built on off site locations to provide service the
proposed subdivision.
If you have any questions regarding the Corps of Engineers regulatory program, please contact
