No. 199300560. The North Carolina Department of Transportation proposes to replace bridge 106 over Lower Creek in Caldwell County. This action has previously been authorized under 404 Nationwide Permit 23 (Categorical Exclusion). Contractors have begun work on this replacement. However, it has been determined that, in order to construct the drilled piers for bents 1 and 2, a rock ramp enclosed by steel sheeting will be necessary. The enclosed drawing shows the proposed rock ramps. The construction of these ramps will not restrict normal flow or aquatic life movements. The ramp materials will be completely removed immediately following completion of construction. Furthermore, the Department is responsible for removing the existing 12" water line; located downstream of the existing bridge, and installing a 8" water line upstream of the existing bridge. This new line will be installed by building an impervious dike from sandbags or sheet pile through half of the stream to divert water flow from the work area. All excavation will take place within this dike work area. The pipe will be installed through half of the stream and the dike removed. The same. procedure will then take place on the other side of the-stream. Please note that the existing water line is located above ground in the stream and is functioning as a barrier to aquatic movement. The proposed water line will be placed below stream bed level, allowing for increased movement within the stream channel. 0 y The Department requests that the above referenced activities be authorized under the appropriate 404 Nationwide Permit(s).
