RE: Shelter Swamp Creek Mitigation Site, Bridge No. 26 over Shelter Swamp Creek on NC 50 in
Onslow County. CAMA Permit No. 41-14, USACE Action ID No. SAW-2012-00394.
Dear Mr. Harris:
This letter is in response to the N.C. Department of Transportation (NCDOT) letter dated April 9, 2019
regarding the Shelter Swamp Creek Mitigation Site in Onslow County. The site consists of
approximately 0.80 acres of wetland restoration to offset the project's impacts. The restoration was
completed via the removal of the existing fill associated with the bridge replacement and the NC 50
realignment.
The N.C. Division of Coastal Management (DCM) has reviewed the annual monitoring reports prepared
by NCDOT, we have participated during interagency discussions at the NCDOT annual monitoring
report meetings, and we are familiar with the site conditions. Based upon this review, DCM agrees that
no further monitoring is required and that the site may be closed.
Please contact Stephen Lane or me if you have any questions or concerns. Stephen can be reached by
phone at [phone] extension 208 or by email at Ste hen.lane ncdenr, ov. I can be reached by
phone at [phone] or by e-mail at Cathy. Brittinghamkncdenr. og_y.
Sincerely,
Cathy Brittingham
