SUBJECT: Chatham County, Widening of US I and improvements to the Haw River
Bridge, Modification to COE ID No. 199101629 (issued November
18, 1994), DEM Project N 94647, '.I.P. Project No. R-250013, State
Project No. 6.409006T.
The N.C. Department of Transportation is proceeding with the widening of US 1
in accordance with the above mentioned permit. However, the project contractor has
determined that two temporary piers will need to be constructed in the Haw River. These
piers will provide access for the construction of the new bridge structures. Each pier will
be about 20' by 75', and will consist of steel piles supporting a treated wood deck. The
only impacts below ordinary high water will be the twelve steel piles. It is expected that
construction in this area will be completed by October, 1997, and the piers will be entirely
removed within 30 days of the completion of construction.
This situation has been discussed with Ms. Jean Manuele of the Raleigh Regulatory
Field Office who requested this notification. Since the contractor is ready to begin work,
the NCDOT requests that this application be reviewed as soon as possible. By copy of
this transmittal, the NCDOT also requests that the N.C. Division of Environmental
Management review the proposed work. Attached you will find a pre-discharge
notification form and plan sheets depicting the proposed piers. If you need any additional
information, please call Mr. Gordon Cashin at [phone], Extension 315.
