Dear Mr. Winefordner:

SUBJECT: Brunswick County, Replacement of Bridge No. 21 over Ash Swamp on
NC 130, NCDOT bridge maintenance project.

The N.C. Department of Transportation (NCDOT)'is proposing to replace Bridge
No. 21 in Brunswick County, which is on NC 130 over Wet Ash Swamp near Waccamaw.
This work is being done as part of the NCDOT's bridge replacement program. The
existing bridge will be replaced with a longer new bridge. This will require the
construction of a bent in the stream. It is expected that the road will be closed during
construction, thereby eliminating the need for an on-site detour. This project will require
the placement of a minimal amount of fill in wetlands around the modified bridge
abutments.
Attached you will find a completed pre-discharge notification form and drawings
which depict the proposed bridge. Please review this project for authorization under the
Clean Water Act. By copy of this information, the NCDOT requests that the N.C.
Division of Environmental Management review the proposed project for Water Quality
Certification. If you need any additional information, please contact Mr. Gordon Cashin
at [phone], Ext. 315.
Sincerely,
H. Franklin. Vick, PE, Manager
