Attention: Eric Alsmeyer

Dear Sir:
SUBJECT: Wilkes County, Replacement of Bridge No. 7 over Big Hunting Creek and
approaches on SR 2414, Federal Aid Project No. BRZ-2414(1), State Project
No. 8.2760601, T.I.P. No. B-3084, COE Action I.D. 199920892
As you are aware, the U. S. Army Corps of engineers (USACE) authorized the North
Carolina Department of Transportation to construct the new bridge under a Section 404
Nationwide Permit 23. The project involves replacing Bridge No. 7 over Big Hunting Creek and
approaches on SR 2414. The new bridge will be built on new alignment 30 meters (100 feet)
east of the existing structure. The new structure will be approximately 46 meters (150 feet) long
and 6.6 meters (22 feet) wide. The bridge will include two 2.7 meter (9 foot) lanes and 0.6 meter
(2 foot) offsets. Traffic will be maintained on the existing bridge during construction.
There will be 113 meters (37 feet) of new approach work to the north and 137 meters
(449 feet) of new approach work to the south. Thirty meters (100 feet) of pavement will be
placed on either side of the bridge. The typical section for the approaches will include a
travelway 5.4 meters (18 feet) wide and a 0.6 meter (2 foot) grass shoulder. An additional
1.0 meter (3 feet will be added to the shoulder width where guardrail is warranted. The project
has not changed since the Nationwide 23 was issued.
However, due to the proposed location of Bents 1 and 2, temporary cofferdams will need
to be constructed to control the influx of water while these structures are built. A temporary
causeway is also required and will be constructed in phases so that the creek will not be
narrowed on both sides at the same time. The total combined impacts to surface waters will be
125.07 square meters (0.03 acres. Details of the project are provided in the attached drawings.

No jurisdictional wetlands will be impacted by the proposed project. The project has
been let to construction.
This project lies in a trout county, and concurrence from the N. C. Wildlife Resources
Commission (NCWRC) is necessary. Comments from the NCWRC on the Section 404
Nationwide Permit 23 request have been attached to this letter. The NCDOT requests that the
NCWRC provide any additional comments to the USACE.
The NCDOT believes that the proposed work may be authorized under a Section 404
Nationwide Permit 33, and requests that the USACE authorize this work. The NCDOT will
adhere to the general conditions of the 401 Water Quality Certification for this project; therefore,
written concurrence from the N. C. Division of Water Quality is not required. The NCDOT also
requests that the NCWRC provide comments to the USACE on this permit request.
If you have any questions or need any additional information, please contact Mr. Logan
Williams at [phone], Extension 302.

MEMORANDUM

TO: Eric Alsmeyer; NCDOT Permit Coordinator ?9 -
5-Raleigh Office, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
FROM: Joe H. Mickey, Jr., Regional Coordinator
Habitat Conservation Program
DATE: June 2, 1999
SUBJECT: Review of an Application by NCDOT for Replacement of Bridge No. 7 on SR
2414 over Hunting Creek, TIP No. B-3084, State Project No. 8.2760601, Federal
Aid Project No. BRZ 2414(1), Wilkes County.
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) is requesting a letter of
concurrence from the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) to obtain a 404
permit from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The NCWRC has reviewed information
provided by the applicant, and field biologists on our staff are familiar with habitat values of the
project area. These comments are provided in accordance with provisions of the Clean Water
Act of 1977 (33 U.S.C. 466 et. seq.) and the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as
amended; 16 U.S.C. 661-667d).
The NCDOT proposes to replace Bridge No. 7 with a new bridge on new alignment 100
feet east of the existing structure over Hunting Creek. The new bridge will be approximately
150 feet long and 22 feet wide. There will be 370 feet of new approach to the north and 449 feet
of new approach work to the south. The project will not impact wetlands. Impacts to Hunting
Creek will be limited to those necessary for bridge construction and foundation test borings. The
existing bridge and roadway approaches will be removed upon completion of the new alignment
and revegetated with native flora.
Based on the information provided by NCDOT, this project will not impact trout waters.
However, the construction of the bridge has the potential to impact redbreast sunfish and
smallmouth bass populations through off-site sedimentation during construction. The project
should have minimal impacts on aquatic resources in Hunting Creek. Therefore, we will not
object to the project as proposed provided the following conditions are implemented:
1. Instream work and initial land clearing within the 25 foot stream buffer zone should
be prohibited during the redbreast sunfish/smallmouth bass spawning period of May
1- June 30 in order to protect the eggs and fry from off-site sedimentation.
2. Stringent erosion control measures should be installed where soil is disturbed and
maintained until project completion.
3. Temporary or permanent herbaceous vegetation should be planted on all bare soil
within 15 days of ground disturbing activities to provide long-term erosion control. If
seeding is done after 1 October, then the NCDOT should return after 1 April the
following year to reseed areas of poor germination, if necessary.
4. Once the old bridge is removed, streambanks should be reshaped to match existing
streambank contours and revegetated with native flora (trees, shrubs, forbes) as noted
in project plans. Native plants should match those found existing at the site. Fescue
should not be used to reseed streambanks.
Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on this project. If you have any
questions regarding these comments, please contact me at 336/366-2982.
