11014B (No DWQ permit fee required)
The North Carolina Department of Transportation is scheduled to replace Bridge #1 on SR 1105
with a new bridge (75'x27') at the same location. Approximately 0.037 acre of wetlands along
the western roadway approach will be impacted. Miscellaneous rip-rap impacts will total 50 linear
feet or less for abutment protection. There is 0.001 acre of proposed jurisdictional floodplain fill
for the interior bent. An offsite detour is proposed.
Construction of this project will require impacts to waters of the United States in the New River
Basin. Bridge #1 crosses Laurel Branch (Class: C;Tr). The Division 11 Environmental Officer
reviewed this project for the presence of threatened and endangered species on December 28,
2004. The subject project will have no effect on any federally listed endangered plant or animal
species. Historic compliance work will be scheduled and concurrence with the State Historic
Preservation Office will be obtained if required.
Attached is a Preconstruction Notification Form, plan sheets, a marked county map, a marked
topography map and photographs.
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.

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.
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
