SECRETARY - 100726 Subject: Nationwide Permit #14 Replace Bridge #174 on SR 1714 with Pipe Wilkes County, North Carolina Project Number: 11B.209711(DWQ Permit Fee: $240) Dear Mr. Matthews: The North Carolina Department of Transportation is scheduled to replace Bridge #174 with pipe at the same location. The existing bridge is structurally deficient. No on-site detour is proposed. Stream impacts are tabulated below.

FilMprap Impacts = 70 feet Total Project Impacts= 110 feet The replacement of the existing bridge with the proposed new pipe will require temporary dewatering. An impervious sandbag dike will be constructed approximately 20 feet upstream of the existing structure to create a small pool. Clean water will temporarily be pumped around the construction area and will be discharged downstream Any dirty water located inside the construction area will be pumped into a silt bag if necessary. Once the new structure is in place, the impervious dike.will be removed and preconstruction streambed elevations will be restored. Construction of this project will require impacts to waters of the United States in the Yadkin River Basin. The existing bridge crosses Hay Meadow Creek (Class: Q. This project was P. 0. Box 250, N.

The subject project will have no effect on any federally fisted endangered plant or animal species. Historic compliance work will be scheduled and concurrence with the State Historic Preservation Office will be obtained if required. The project impacts are not significant in nature and should not alter the best usage for this stream. All appropriate BMPs will be used during construction. Attached is a Preconstruction Notification Form, plan sheets, photographs, a marked county map and a marked topography map. By copy of this letter, it is requested that Mr. Ron Linville, Mountain Region Coordinator, with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission comment directly to you concerning the 404 Nationwide Permit application with a copy sent to me. By copy of this letter, I am forwarding five (5) copies of this application package to Brian Wrenn, NCDENR, Division of Water Quality, 401/Wetlands Unit, for his review. It is requested that any comments related to the 401 certification be forwarded directly to me with a copy sent to the US Army Corps of Engineers. We would like to begin construction as soon as possible. If further information is required, please let me know. Your early review and consideration will be appreciated.
