Dear Mr. Murray:
Reference is made to your letter of December 4, 2018, regarding the start of study for
intersection improvements at US 17 and Henderson Drive in Jacksonville, Onslow County. (U-
5950). The letter requested any information the Corps may be able to supply to evaluate
potential environmental impacts of the project.
We have reviewed the subject documents and determined that, based upon a review of
the information provided and available maps, there appears to be limited waters of the US within
the study area depending on the scope of the project. Northwest of the study area is Sandy Run
Branch so the potential exists that some drainage from the study area may drain to said branch.
Please be aware that impacts associated with the discharge of fill into jurisdictional waters of the
United States including wetlands are subject to our regulatory authority pursuant to Section 404
of the Clean Water Act. Any discharge of excavated or fill material into waters of the United
States and/or any adjacent wetlands would require Department of the Army (DA) permit
authorization. The type of DA authorization required (i.e., general or individual permit) will be
determined by the location, type, and extent of jurisdictional area impacted by the project, and by
the project design and construction limits.
Until additional data is furnished which details the extent of the construction limits of the
proposed project, and an onsite inspection is completed with regard to determinations of the
presence of jurisdictional waters on the project property, we are unable to verify that the project
will not have jurisdictional impacts, or to provide specific comments concerning DA permit

-2-
requirements or a recommendation of alternatives. To assist you with determining permitting
requirements, we recommend that you perform a detailed delineation of the streams and/or
wetlands present on the project site. When this information becomes available, it should be
forwarded to our office for review and comment, as well as a determination of DA permit
eligibility.
Should you have any further questions for this project, please contact me at 910-251-
4611.
Sincerely,
