Attn: Mr. Brian Wrenn 9 401 Wetlands Certification Unit ec?? 2321 Crabtree Boulevard Raleigh, NC 27604-2260 Subject: Union County- Proposed. Pipe Replacement Project SR 1627 (New Salem Road) WBS Element No. 10B.100411 Dear Mr. Wrenn: CONTI, JR. The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to replace two 24- inch by 40-foot long reinforced concrete pipes (RCP) located on SR 1627 (New Salem Road) on an unnamed tributary to Richardson Creek with a single line of 87-inch by 63- inch corrugated metal pipe arched (CMPA), 55 feet in length. The purpose of the proposed project is to repair the failed roadway at this crossing and add enough shoulder to improve motorist safety. Richardson Creek is classified as a Class C water and is located in the Yadkin River Basin, Hydrologic Unit 03040105. The total length of permanent stream impacts for this project is 15 linear feet. The NCDOT anticipates that this project will be authorized under a Section 404 Nationwide Permit No. 14 and we are requesting authorization from the North Carolina Division of Water Quality to utilize the corresponding 401 Water Quality Certification GC3704 based upon the enclosed information. If you have any questions or need any additional information regarding this request, please contact Mr. Larry Thompson, Division Environmental Supervisor, at (704) 982- 0101. Thank you for your assistance with this request. Sincerely, Barry S. Moose, PE Division Engineer 'tlg,M/iayry ??/Q ?s 716 West Main Street, Albemarle, NC 28001 • (704) 982-0101 9 Fax (704) 982-3146 New Salem Road BSM/LBT cc: Ms. Polly Lespinasse, NCDWQ Mr. Garland Haywood, BME Mr. Phil Suggs, FOE Mr. Larry Thompson, DES File July S, 2010 OHO, W ATf?v > y o -c Office Use Only: Corps action ID no.
