The following are scoping meeting comments:
Debbie Bevin of SHPO stated that neither an archtechtural or archaeological
suvey would be required.
Wade Hoke (Division 11 Engineer) recommended evauating the alternates
outlined in the alternative section below.
Jerry Snead of the Hydrualics Unit recommended the existing bridge be replaced
with a three-barrel reinforced concrete box culvert; each barrel 3.0 x 3.0 meters (10 x 10
feet in height and width. Channel widening would not extend more than 7.6 meters
(25 feet) on either end of the bridge. A temporary alignment (if needed) would require
three-1800 mm corrugated steel pipes. The detour roadway grade would be
approximately 1 meter (3 feet) lower than the existing roadway.

SUBJECT: Nationwide Permit 33 Application for the proposed replacement of
Bridge No. 123 on SR 1549 over Grassy Creek, NCDOT Division
11; Ashe County. Federal Project No. MABRZ-1549(2), State
Project No. 8.2711401, T.I.P. No. B-3302.
Dear Sir:
On November 9, 2001 the North Carolina Department of Transportation submitted an
application to replace the previously submitted application dated June 29, 2001 (which
included the distribution of a Categorical Exclusion document for the above referenced
project). The November 2001 application requested that the proposed bridge replacement
activities be authorized under a Nationwide 23. On March 26, 2002 the U.S. Army Corps
of Engineers verified the issue of a Nationwide 23 permit (Action ID No. 200120753).
This project now requires the use of a temporary impervious dike to facilitate the
installation of the northern footing of the proposed con-span structure. The impervious
dike is shown within the attached drawings. The con-span footings will be constructed in
two phases. During Phase I no surface water fill will occur. However, during Phase II,
proposed temporary surface water fill will be 0.01 acres. No temporary diversion channel
is proposed. NCDOT proposes to place a combination of jersey barriers and sandbags
along the water's edge on the northern side of Grassy Creek (attached Phase II drawing).
This impervious dike is needed to keep storm water out of the footer construction area.
Grassy Creek will continue to flow in its natural channel during construction. No
jurisdictional wetlands will be impacted by the proposed project.

Restoration Plan:
The materials used, as temporary fill, in the construction of the impervious dike will be
removed after their purpose has been served. The temporary fill area will be restored to
their original contours. Elevations and contours in the vicinity of the proposed
causeways are available from field survey notes.
Project B-3302 is currently under construction. It is expected that the contractor will
choose to start construction of the footing once the additional permits have been received.
The impervious dike will only be in place for a time sufficient to complete the footing.
After the dike is no longer needed it will be removed by the contractor. All dike material
will become the property of the contractor. The contractor will be required to submit a
reclamation plan for removal of,an. disposal of all materials off-site.
tt SUMMARY
This project will take place in a mountain trout county. Thus we anticipate that
comments from the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) will be
required. By copy of this letter and attachment, NCDOT hereby requests NCWRC
review. NCDOT requests that NCWRC forward their comments to the Corps of
Engineers.
It is anticipated that the installation of the impervious dike will be authorized under
Section 404 Nationwide Permit 33 (Temporary Construction Access and Dewatering).
We are, therefore, requesting the issuance of a Nationwide Permit 33 authorizing use of
the dike. All other aspects of this project were processed by the Federal Highway
Administration as a "Categorical Exclusion" in accordance with 23 CFR 771.115(b). We
anticipate a 401 General Certification number 3366 will apply to this project. In
accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0501(a) we are providing two copies of this application
to the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources, Division of
Water Quality, for their records.
Thank you for your assistance in this project. If you have any questions or need
additional information please call Ms. Heather Montague at [phone].
Sincerely,

aquatic resources.
VIII. Mitigation
DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC
Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to
freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams.
USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on March 9, 2000, mitigation will be required when
necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors
including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted
aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable
mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include,
but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland
and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of
aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar
functions and values, preferable in the same watershed.
Page 5 of 8
If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order
for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application
lacking a required mitigation plan or NCWRP concurrence shall be placed on hold as
incomplete. An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration
in DWQ's Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strmizide.html.
Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide
as much` information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions
and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet)
of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view,
preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a
description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach
a separate sheet if more space is needed.
2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration
Program (NCWRP) with the NCWRP's written agreement. Check the box indicating that
you would like to pay into the NCWRP. Please note that payment into the NCWRP must be
reviewed and approved before it can be used to satisfy mitigation requirements. Applicants
will be notified early in the review process by the 401/Wetlands Unit if-payment into the
NCWRP is available as an option. For additional information regarding the application
process for the NCWRP, check the NCWRP website at bU://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/wrp/index.htm. If
use of the NCWRP is proposed, please check the appropriate box on page three and provide
