TROGDON, III SECRETARY Joanne Steenhuis, NCDOT Coordinatar NC Department of Environmental Quality Division of Water Resources 127 Cardinal Drive Ext. Wilmington, NC 28405 Subject: Modification Request for Section 404 Individual Permit and Section 401 Water Quality Certification for proposed SR 1409 (Military Cutoff Road) extension in New Hanover County. WBS No. 40191.3.2, TIP No. U-4751 Reference: USACE Action # SAW-2007-01386 DWR Project # 20161268 DCM Federal Consistency CD 17-018 Dear Mr. Shaver and Ms. Steenhuis: As you are aware, the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) is currently constructing project U-4751 (Military Cutoff Extension) in New Hanover County. The purpose of this letter is to request modifications of the Section 404 Individual Permit and Section 401 Water Quality Certiiication due to an error in the calculation of the culvert length required at Site 27 (Sta. 205+35 to 211+16 -L- LT & RT). This modification request includes a revised permit drawing 47 of 83, Wetland Impact Summary sheet 83 of 83 and the DMS Acceptance Letter for 121inear feet of additional permanent stream impacts. Per the original authorization the mitigation ratio for this site is 1:1. The initial permitted impacts at this site for the 48" RCP and drop inlet box was reported in the application to be 5441inear feet. However, the permit drawings and construction plans depicted the pipe and drop inlet box to be 5481inear feet and the pipe schedule in the construction plans listed the pipe and box length to be 5601inear. Surveyors have staked the site and determined that actual length of permanent impacts required for the pipe and box at this site is 5561inear feet. The initial 141inear feet of bank stabilization already authorized for this site will not change. REGULATORY APPROVALS Section 404 Application is hereby made for a modification to the USACE Individua1404 Permit as required for the above-described activities.
