Dear Mr. Murray:
Reference is made to your letter received May 3, 2019, regarding the start of study for
intersection improvements at the intersection of SR 1308 (Bell Fork Road) and SR 1403
(Country Club Road), 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 present but are expected to be limited in such an urban setting. 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

-2-
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
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,
SHAVER.BRAD. SDHAVER.signedB A E1276601756
