July 26, 2021
Bridge 100203 on SR 2416 Warren Wilson Road over Beetree Creek
Buncombe County
WBS # 13BPR.20111

An on-site meeting was held on July 26, 2021, between the NC Division of Water Quality (DWQ) and NC
Department of Transportation (DOT). Attendees included Kevin Mitchell (DWQ), Roger Bryan, Yates
Allen, Justin Rice, Shannon Woody, and Ethan Calloway (all of DOT).
Bridge inspections had revealed a severe undercut and void under and behind end bent 2 of the bridge.
A 6-8 feet deep pool of water (scour hole) was present along the face of the end bent. The topic of
discussion was the best way to repair the damage to the bridge and scour hole. Everyone agreed the
best course of action was to divert the stream, pump residual water from the site, construct a new face
on the end bent (tie steel, construct forms, and pour concrete), and to backfill the scour hole. The next
step is to bore through the road and/or shoulders and pump in grout to completely fill the void behind
the end bent.
Kevin agreed that DWQ would pursue the project as an After-the-Fact (ATF) permit and he would speak
to Lori Beckwith of the US Army Corps of Engineers about the matter. Lori subsequently agreed to
pursue it as an ATF permit, also.
