Reference the Department of the Army (DA) permit modification letter dated Februazy 25,
2019 for additional impacts associated with the new location project identified as U-2524CD.
The project is a 4.8 mile, six-lane divided facility on new location extending from north of SR
2176 (Bryan Boulevard) to SR 2303 (Lawndale Drive) in Greensboro, Guilford County, North
Cazolina. Section C of this project begins immediately north of SR 2176 (Bryan Boulevazd) and
terminates immediately east of US220 (Battleground Avenue) and Section D begins immediaYely
east of Battleground Avenue and ends at SR 2303 (Lawndale Drive). The site contains a portion
of Horsepen Creek, fifreen (15) unnamed tributaries to Horsepen Creek, a portion of Richland
Creek, five (5) unnamed tributaries to Richland Creek, and fifreen (15) adjacent wetland areas in
the Cape Fear River Basin (8-Digit Cataloging Unit 03030002).
The above referenced ]etter contained a typographical error on the second page, related to the
permit expiration date, which was incorrectly listed as llecember 31, 2023. Rather, as referenced
in the DA permit issued on August 1, 2013, as well as the five previous permit modification
letters dated March 25, 2014, June 6, 2014, June 19, 2015, October 7, 2015, and July 15, 2016,
the accurate permit expiration date was December 31, 2018. As sucb, the DA permit for this
project has expired and the stream impacts authorized by the permit modification dated February
25, 2019 are hereby rescinded.
Please be advised that no work in waters of the US, including streams and wetlands, is
currently authorized for this project. On February 26, 2019, NCDOT Division 7 provided an
email synopsis including the status of U-2524 Sections C and D. This email indicated that, witY
the exception of work proposed for the permit modification request dated January 11, 2019 (U-
