Mr. Turlington:
On behalf of Ms. Kathy Hair (site owner) and ESA Renewables, LLC (solar developer), we are
providing you revisions to the PCN application already received by your office.
On November 7, 2017, Headwater Environmental, Inc. mailed four hard copies of the PCN
application to the 401 & Buffer Permitting Unit in Raleigh, North Carolina. The original submittal
included a proposed stream crossing with a 24 -foot wide access road and an associated 24 -foot
long culvert. The 24 -foot culvert requires a vertical retaining wall. The costs associated with
engineering a vertical retaining for a simple gravel access road were not reasonably within the
project budget.
Therefore, the access road and culvert were redesigned. The culvert was extended to 54 feet.
A standard NCDOT winged headwall will be installed to support the 20 -foot access road. We
have revised the pertinent sections of the PCN application and enclosed them for your review.
Please re -instate the permit process, as the project is no longer on hold.
HEnv appreciates your assistance with this project. If you have questions or need additional
information, please contact us at [phone].
Respectfully submitted,
Headwater Environmental Inc.

alternate access road option to the east was considered. The eastern access road option required authorization from the adjoining land owner to
east. Authorization from the adjoining land owner to the east was not provided. Therefore, the access road was designed to cross Stream A.
