SUBJECT Start of Study Proposed Bridge Replacement on Texas Road (TIP # B 3196) Montreat
Buncombe County North Carolina
To Whom it May Concern
The Town of Montreat the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) and the Federal
Highway Administration (FHWA) propose to replace Bridge No 528 on Texas Road over Flat Creek in
Montreat North Carolina The existing bridge is currently closed to vehicular traffic due to safety
concerns related to its state of deterioration Replacement of the bridge is needed to provide safer access
and mobility in the study area to support pedestrian connectivity and to improve access to community
facilities A map of the project study area is included as an attachment to this letter
The proposed project will consider a set of build and no build scenarios to replace the bridge and provide
safe mobility and access Alternatives other than replacing the structure in its existing location may be
considered in the planning process The build alternatives currently being considered include replacing
the bridge at the existing location and a new bridge location approximately 30 feet east of the existing
bridge on an improved alignment
A Federally funded Categorical Exclusion (CE) document is being prepared in coordination with FHWA
This document is intended to satisfi the requirements of both the National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA) and the North Carolina Environmental Policy Act(SEPA)
In an effort to expedite the environmental clearance process we are asking your agency to provide any
information you might have that would be helpful in evaluating the potential environmental impacts of
the proposed bridge replacement project If applicable please also identify an permits or approvals that
may be reauired by your agenc\ We ask that you please respond in writing by November 26,2012
