Subject: Nationwide Permit Request
SR 1242 Lower Haw Branch Road
1996-1997 Rural Priority 47
Dear Mr. Chapin:
I am attaching a straight line diagram with erosion
control plan, an application form for a nationwide permit,
and a county map section relative to the paving of SR 1242
Lower Haw Branch Road in-McDowell County.
Lower Haw Branch Road is presently 12 to 14 feet wide.
We propose to pave the road 18 feet wide and increase the
typical section. The proposed typical section is also
attached. Grading will be light to moderate. The project
begins at SR 1135 and continues in a northerly direction for
a distance of 0.56 mile.
We propose to extend/replace three (3) pipes with live
streams at survey stations 11+60, 17+60, and 24+10.
By a copy of this letter, we are asking Stephanie
Goudreau, North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission
Mountain Region Coordinator, to comment directly to you
concerning the nationwide permit request.
Also, by copy of this letter, I am sending seven copies
of this application package to the Division of Environmental
Management.
Your earliest consideration for this matter would be
appreciated. If any further information is needed, please
advise. 9
