Subject: Revised Application for Section 404 Nationwide Permit 23 and 33 for the
replacement of Bridge No. 48 over Big Creek on SR 1851 in Cumberland County.
State Project No. 8.2444201. Federal Aid Project Number BRZ-1851(1). TIP No. B-
4493.
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT), Division of Highways, recently
submitted an application fora Section 404 Nationwide Permit 23 for TIP No. B-4493 (dated
November 6, 2009). Subsequent to the submittal of this permit application inaccuracies were
identified in the supplied Pre-Construction Notification (PCN) form and on the wetland permit
impact summary sheet. Provided with this memo are replacement sheets 1, 4 and 7 from the
PCN and the wetland permit impact summary sheet.
Additionally, we are requesting the issuance of a Nationwide Permit 33 for temporary fill due to
the installation of erosion control measures (72 CFR; 11092-11198, March 12, 2007).
The following changes were made to these pages:
PCN - Pg. 1 § A. 1 b. - Addition of Nationwide Permit 33
PCN - Pg. 4 § C. 2h. -- Add statement:
Proposed temporary impacts to wetlands of 0.01 acres of temporary
fill in wetlands in the Hand Clearing areas for the installation of
erosion control measures, including Temporary Silt Fence and/or
Special Sediment Control Fence..
PCN - Pg. 7 § D. 1 b. - Remove:

aerial line clearance through wetland areas on the east side of the project. The hand clearing impacts will result in the
cutting down of trees and brush; however, grubbing will not occur. These hand clearing impacts will not result in the
permanent conversion of the currently forested wetland to a persistent emergent herbaceous wetland. Proposed
temporary impacts to wetlands of 0.01 acres of Temporary Fill in Wetlands in the Hand Clearing areas for the installation
of erosion control measures, including Temporary Silt Fence and/or Special Sediment Control Fence.

D. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project.
The proposed bridge is 38 feet longer than the existing bridge; the proposed bridge will be at approximately the same
grade as the existing structure; an off site detour will be used, 3:1 fill slopes where practicable.
1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques.
Best management practices for the protection of surface waters will be implemented; top-down construction; off-site
detour will be used.

2a. Goes the project require Compensatory Maigation for
impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State? ? Yes FA Nc
If no, explain: Due to the minimal amount of permanent
impacts, NCDOT is not proposing compensatory mitigation.

pro
project? ? Mitigation bank
