Dear Mr. Daughtry:
jsu -ZI
This letter of refinement is in reference to your J�u"ly �19 2022, correspondence requesting an
amended modification of Major CAMA Permit No. #].�t - .ljThe original permit was issued on
December 10, 2021, authorizing the replacement of an existing bridge that provides access to the
Engelhard Volunteer Fire Department with a culvert consisting of two 60" corrugated metal pipes
with flood gate, aluminum sheet bulkhead with a maximum width of36 feet.
The Washington DCM office has received your request to amend your active permit with a
change in material for the pipe to HPDE and the change in bulkhead material to preformed concrete
as well as the expansion of the footprint of the bridge to 40ft in width. No change has been proposed
to the flood gates. Your request is hereby authorized. All permit conditions including the in -water
work moratorium from April 1- September 30 and the 31 December 2023 expiration date still apply
and remain unchanged. Your modified plat received illustrating the authorized changes will become
a part of the permit file and construction should be accomplished accordingly.
This refinement does not eliminate the need to obtain any state, federal or local permits
(including the NCDOT authorizations) that may be required. Thank you for your time and
cooperation in this matter. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me in the
Washington Regional Office.
Sincere

RE: Request for Minor Spec and Material Changes - CAMA Permit 156-21
Dear Shane,
engr1redeptOgmail com
252.925.7231
As the Engelhard Volunteer Fire Department prepares to move forward with the bridge replacement
project, there are changes we feel required to make notice of to our specs and materials since the major
permit was approved. Attached is a revised set of sketches with highlighted changes as follows:
1. As part of the initial permit approval, NCDOT required a change in diameter of our proposed
culverts from 42" ID as was shown on our permit application sketches to 60" ID. EVFD agreed to
these changes and have adjusted our sketches.
2. Due to pricing and availability, EVFD requests to change culvert material from 10 gage
corrugated aluminum as shown in the permit application sketches, to HDPE corrugated pipe
meeting AASHTO M294 spec. One additional reason for this material change involves the
connection between the original aluminum culverts and the concrete retaining walls, and a
concern NCDOT had with corrosion at that joint. HDPE material eliminates that concern.
3. Due to pricing and availability, EVFD requests to change headwall material from aluminum
structural plate to precast concrete. The dimensions of this precast retaining walls are similar to
the original aluminum wall design, and will perform the same function. The permitted flag gates
will bolt directly to the face of the concrete retaining wall with a water tight seal, rather than
connecting to the culverts directly.
4. Due to HDPE material lengths available, EVFD requests the length of culverts be 40' in lieu of the
original 30'-34' (as required) shown on the original permit application sketches. This additional
length will also compensate for the additional thickness of the precast walls, allowing the
original planned width of the new crossing to remain at a minimum of 30'.
Please review and let us know if any additional information is required to effectuate these minor spec
and material changes. We see no change to the form and function of the originally permitted structure
because of these changes.
