The Categorical Exclusion for this project was approved on December 21, 1995.
At this time, foundation test borings are necessary in the channel and along the banks of
the Pigeon River. This work will be necessary to obtain foundation information for design
of the structure. We have determined that this activity may be authorized under

mountain trout county, review by the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers and North Carolina
Wildlife Resources Commission is required. We hereby request approval of Nationwide
Permit No. 6 for the proposed work.
