Meeting
Hello Joseph,
I deeply apologize that I have not responded to your e-mail sooner regarding
Concurrence Point 4A for TIl' R-5014, Colington Road in Dare County.
DCM greatly appreciates the additional time that has been expended by NCDOT
to provide corrected wetland boundaries, updated figures, and revised impact
calculations. DCM also greatly appreciates the alignment modification at Wetland
WP to reduce CAMA Wetland impacts by 0.1 acres, and the alignment
modification at Wetland WT to reduce CAMA Wetland impacts by 0.1 acres. The
updated figures appear to be accurate, with one exception. It appears as though
Wetland WT may not be labelled correctly. Please contact DCM Transportation
Field Representative Greg Daisey prior to the Concurrence Point 4B meeting to
determine if a correction is needed.
DCM is ready to sign the Concurrence Point 4A form. If possible, I would like to
request that the following revisions be made to the Concurrence Point 4A form
prior to signing to document the results of the NEPA/404 Merger Team
discussions to date. I don't think the following proposed revisions conflict with
any project decisions, but please let me know if you have any questions or
concerns.
DCM requests that the following statements be added to the Concurrence Point
4A form:
•"The parking area and access path that are within the NCDOT Right-of-Way
adjacent to the Colington Creek bridge shall be retained and shall remain open
for public use after the project is complete. During construction, NCDOT will
attempt to keep the parking area and access path open for public use as much
as possible."
•"There will be no impacts to the NCDOT Colington Cut and Colington Creek
mitigation sites based on the actual slope stakes."
DCM requests that the following edit be made to the Concurrence Point 4A form:
•"The use of reduced shoulder widths to further reduce wetland impacts will be
investigated during final design on the approaches to the existing bridge

structures, in areas with CAMA AEC's, and alon� tan�ents with o� od sight
distance."
DCM acknowledges that the current impact calculations are based upon
preliminary design slope stake limits plus an additiona125 feet, and therefore the
impact calculations will decrease further as the final design is prepared. DCM
looks forward to continuing conversations with the NEPA/404 Merger Team
during final design regarding additional avoidance and minimization of impacts to
wetlands and waters of the State, especially in areas of submerged aquatic
vegetation and CAMA Wetlands. Such measures may include locations where the
roadway horizontal alignment can be further refined, the roadway cross-section
can be reduced, and steeper fill slopes can be practically and safely implemented
through the use of rock plating, riprap, geogrid reinforced slope, retaining walls,
or other measures. When preparing the hydraulic design, DCM requests that
NCDOT maintain any existing and potential navigational usage and public trust
access throughout the project area, including at the roadway crossings of these
surface waters: PC/PD, PO/PP, and PJ/PK.
Sincerely,
Cathy Brittingham

Good Afternoon,
From the discussions at the on-site
Concurrence Point 4A merger team,
held on July 30, 2015 in the Kill Devil Hills
Town Hall,
certain items needed further investigation
and clarification.
A list of `Action Items' was compiled.
It was agreed that when those items were
addressed,
NCDOT would provide updated project
information and an updated CP4A form.
We have placed on the sever a memo that
addresses the Action Items and an edited
CP Form.
https://xfer.services. ncdot.�ov/pdea/Mer�
erMeetin�s/R5014 CP4A/

If the concurrence form is acceptable, we
will provide it for electronic signatures via
DocuSign.
If you have questions or comments
regarding the information in the memo
please contact me at iqubain@ncdot.�ov or
