Dear Mr. Howell:
Reference is made to your letter of September 18, 2017, regarding the start of study for a
proposed realignment of Wall Street at US 17 (Main Street) and Shallotte Avenue in Brunswick
County (U-5788). The letter requested any information the Corps may be able to supply to
evaluate potential environmental impacts of the project.
We have reviewed the subject documents and determined that, based upon a review of
the information provided and available maps, the construction of this project may have impact to
wetlands depending on the scope of the project. The Corps completed a preliminary
jurisdictional determination for this study area in 2016 under Action ID# SAW-2016-02255.
Please be aware that impacts associated with the discharge of iill into jurisdictional waters of the
United States including wetlands are subject to our regulatory authority pursuant to Section 404
of the Clean Water Act. Any discharge of excavated or fill material into waters of the United
States and/or any adjacent wetlands would require Department of the Army (DA) permit
authorization. The type of DA authorization required (i.e., general or individual permit) will be
determined by the location, type, and extent of jurisdictional area impacted by the project, and by
the project design and construction limits.
Until additional data is furnished which details the extent of the construction limits of the
proposed project we are unable to provide specific comments concerning DA permit
requirements. When this information becomes available, it should be forwarded to our office for
review and comment, as well as a determination of DA permit eligibility.

Should you have any further questions related to DA permits for this project, please
contact me at 910-251-4611.
Sincerely,
