Subject: Application for Section 404 General Permit 198200031 and Section 401 Water
Quality Certification for the Proposed I-485 and East John Street - Old Monroe Road (SR
1009) Interchange Improvements in Mecklenburg County, Division 10, STIP No. U-

Dear Madam:

The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to construct a partial cloverleaf
interchange to replace the current diamond interchange at I-485 and East John Street – Old Monroe Road
(SR 1009).

As a result of the interchange improvements, there will be 159 linear feet of stream bank stabilization, 242
linear feet of permanent stream impacts, and 0.03 acre of temporary stream impacts.

Please see enclosed copies of the Pre-Construction Notification (PCN), Division of Mitigation Services
(DMS) mitigation acceptance letter, Stormwater Management Plan (SMP), permit drawings, roadway plan
sheets, northern long-eared bat memo, and State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) concurrence letters.
An Environmental Assessment (EA) was completed in July 2016 and a Finding of No Significant Impact
(FONSI) was completed in June 2018 and distributed shortly thereafter. Additional copies are available
upon request.

A copy of this permit application and its distribution list will be posted on the NCDOT Website at:
http://connect.ncdot.gov/resources/Environmental. If you have any questions or need additional
information, please call Erin Cheely at [phone].

Sincerely,

Philip S. Harris III, P.E., C.P.M.
