Subject: Nationwide Permit #23
NC 268 from US 52 ramps to SR 1886
Surry County, North Carolina
Project Number: 39938.1.1 (DWQ Permit Fee: $240)
Dear Mr. Matthews:
The NC Department of Transportation is scheduled to grade, drain, widen, curb and gutter, mill
and pave NC 268 from the US 52 ramps to SR 1886 in Pilot Mountain. This project will add a
center turn lane to improve traffic flow and will add a roundabout at the intersection of US 52 and
NC 268. Total project length is approximately 0.65 miles.
Heatherly Creek (Class: C) travels under NC 268 through a triple barreled box culvert near
station 28+00. We do not anticipate a need to extend or replace this culvert. However, there is
an unnamed tributary to Heatherly Creek that travels parallel to NC 268 from approximate
stations 27+00 - 28+00 (Rt.) that must be relocated to accommodate the fills of the widened
roadway. The existing channel length is 102 linear feet. The proposed new channel length will be
104 linear feet.
The existing channel is immediately adjacent to the roadway and is partially lined with riprap. The
new channel will be farther away from the roadway, will have flatter slopes and will have a fenced
30' buffer included within our right-of-way on the south side. The new channel will be
constructed in a dry work environment. Coir fiber matting will be placed on the streambanks
along with an appropriate riparian seed mix and live stakes so that on-site mitigation credits can
be granted. Class B riprap may be used in the two bends if it is deemed necessary to prevent
scour.
This project will have no effect on any federally listed endangered plant or animal species. The
State Historic Preservation Office has reviewed this project and did not request any survey work.
