Subject: Response to Request for Removal of NCDOT Transportation Improvement Project R-
4748 from the Merger 01 Process
Dear Mr. Major:
Dee Freeman
Secretary
Based on the fact that the preferred alternative for reference project will not have impacts to waters of the
State and therefore not require a 401 Water Quality Certification, NCDWQ concurs on the removal of the
project from the Merger '01 Process. Should the nature of the project change resulting in potential
impacts to waters of the State, NCDOT must notify NCDWQ of the changes and the estimated impacts
and submit an application for the appropriate permits and/or certifications. If the changes result in
significant impacts, it may be necessary to return the project to the Merger '01 Process. If you have any
questions regarding this matter, please contact me at 919-733-5715.
Sincerely,
Brian Wrenn
