Paul,
I have reviewed NCDOT's request to modify the Nationwide Permit 3 issued to you for replacement of Bridge
#21 over Knobbs Creek on Creek Road (NCSR 1332) near Elizabeth City, Pasquotank County, North Carolina. Due to low
bridge elevation in relation to the surface water elevation, you are requesting authorization to construct a temporary
coffer dam to allow dewatering during construction of an interior bridge bent. The proposed work will result in
temporary impacts to 287 square feet of open water in Knobbs Creek. The proposed work is consistent with the terms
and conditions of NWP 3 and the permit has been modified. You must insure that no live concrete comes in contact with
surface waters and that no inwater work takes place between February 15 and June 15 of any year. All other terms and
conditions, including the March 18, 2017 expiration date remain in effect.

Due to the low bridge elevation, a sheet pile coffer dam will be necessary to construct the cap on the interior bent for
the proposed Bridge #21 replacement on Knobbs Creek in Pasquotank County. To reflect the additional impacts, revised
permit drawings are attached to this message. The coffer dam will be dewatered using NCDOT BMP's to prevent any
sediment from entering the creek, and live concrete will not come in contact with water entering the creek. NCDOT will
adhere to all Nationwide Permit 3 and 401 Water Quality Certification conditions associated with this project.

Please let me know if you need any additional information or have any concerns with this notification.

Thanks,
