Dear Madam:
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to improve US 19E
in Yancey and Mitchell Counties. The R-2519B project, approximately 7.5 miles in
length, will be widening US 19E from two lanes to a multi-lane facility. The project
begins at SR 1186 west of Micaville and ends at the existing multilane section west of
Spruce Pine. The project Let on February and is currently under construction.
On August 2, 2016 a torrential rain event overwhelmed erosion control measures at three
sites along the R-2519B project which caused an excessive amount of sedimentation to
flow into the South Toe River drainage. USFWS requested urgent implementation of
erosion control measures to mitigate sediment loss frorn the project. Some of these
measures will alter temporary impacts to Permit Site 4 from the 2013 permit application
submittal.

Permit Site 4 near Rice Road (Permit Drawings sheets 18, 19 & 20 of 114) will have
enlarged cross check dams placed above Phipps Creek which will provide additional
water storage during a heavy rain event. A 140 lf temporary pipe will be attached to the
permanent 36 inch and 42 inch reinforced concrete pipes (RCP) already installed in
Phipps Creek. The temporary pipe will minimize access to Phipps Creek from runoff
occurring at the permit site and from the larger storage area created above the stream. This
action will add an additional 1401f of temporary impacts to the 151f of temporary impacts
from the 2013 permit application for a total of 1551f (0.01 acre) of temporary impacts. The
temporary pipe will be removed following construction and stabilization of the site. To
expedite additional erosion control, the temporary pipe may have already been installed.
Due to the urgent nature of the erosion control measures, no permit drawings are provided
with this modification
A copy of this permit application and its distribution list will be posted on the NCDOT
Website at: http://connect.ncdot.gov/resources/Environmental. If you have any questions
or need additional information, please call Jeff Hemphill at [phone].
