Dear Mr. Bass:
Reference is made to your letter received February 1, 2019, regarding the start of study
for intersection improvements at the intersection of US 17 and McDaniel Drive/Workshop Lane,
in Jacksonville, Onslow County. (U-6107). 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 based on available mapping, jurisdictional
resources may be limited or absent. Of course this can only be confirmed with ground
delineation work. Please be reminded 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. Based on a review of
our files the Corps has not completed work within the project study area.
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
requirements or a recommendation of alternatives. To assist you with determining permitting
-2-
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,
