Deaz Mr. Harris:
Reference the Department of the Army permit issued to the North Carolina Department of
Transportation (NCDOT) on Mazch 24, 2014, to authorize the discharge of fill material into
waters of the United States, for construction of TIP No. U-0071; East End Connector; from US
147 between Ellis Road and Briggs Avenue, to NC 98 at US 70, in Durham County, North
Carolina. Also, please reference the May 7, 2015, December 7, 2015, and May 17, 2016
modifications of the pernut, your November 3, 20171etter, requesting modification of the permit
for a net increase of permanent riprap bank stabilization impacts to streams of 121ineaz feet, a
net decrease of temporary impact to streams of 161inear feet, and a net increase of wetland
mechanized clearing impacts of 0.02 acre, and the revised permit drawing sheet no. 74 of 91,
submitted by email on November 8, 2017. These changes in impacts result from observation of
actual site topography and stability conditions, and necessary construction access, and sediment
and erosion control. No additional stream or wetland mitigation is proposed, since no additional
permanent stream or wetland loss is proposed.
We have reviewed the requested modification, and deternuned that it is appropriate and
reasonable, and that no public notice is required for this modification. Therefore, the permit is
hereby modified to authorize a net increase of temporary impacts to streams of 16 lineaz feet, a
net increase of permanent impacts to streams of 121ineaz feet, and a net increase of wetland
impacts of 0.02 acre, as shown on the enclosed Permit Drawings, Sheets 20, 21, 43, 44, 75, 90,
