DOT began the meeting at 2:30 P.M. with an overview of the project.

Hydraulics reviewed the Stormwater Management Plan included with the permit
package. There were no comments.
The team then proceeded to review the permit drawings.

Site I on plan sheet 5 was reviewed. There were no comments.

Site 2 and 3 on plan sheet 6 were then reviewed. It was noted that the drive right of
station 38+50- L- was to provide access to parcel 4 as well as provide access to maintain
the hazardous spill basin right of station 40+00 -L-.

Site 4 on plan sheet 6 and 7 was then reviewed. The existing gravel access road on parcel
5 will have to be maintained during and after construction. A portion of the unnamed

tributary to the Tar River will be impacted due to the access road having to be realigned
to avoid a proposed bridge pier. Approximately 0.94 acres of wetland restoration is
proposed at site 4 by removing a portion of the old railroad fill north of the project as
shown on the drawings.

The next two permit drawing sheets showing the location of the temporary work bridge
and work pad needed to construct the bridge were then reviewed. USFWS noted that
they had originally planned on doing a formal section 7 consultation but now intend on
doing an informal section 7 consultation.

The buffer permit drawings were reviewed and there were no additional comments.

The meeting was adjourned at approximately 3:00 p.m.

After the meeting was adjourned the USFWS and EPA noted that the gravel access road
to parcel 5 appeared to be elevated above the wetland and wetland restoration area. They
asked if it could be lowered to the wetland elevation. It was noted that NCDOT designed
the grade of the access road to match the existing access road grade through the wetland
area which is slightly above the existing wetland elevation. NCDOT will investigate if

the access road can be lowered any but noted that it will have to be elevated slightly to
maintain the stability of the road.
