Mr. H. Franklin Vick
Planning and Environmental Branch
NC Dept. of Transportation
P.O. Box 25201
Raleigh, NC 27611
Dear Mr. Vick:
You have our approval to place temporary fill in Lake Lee/Richardson Creek for the purpose of
replacing bridge No. 147 on SR 2102, as you described in your application dated 8 January, 1996 . After
reviewing your application, we have decided that this fill is covered by General Water Quality
Certification Number 2727.1 This certification allows you to use Nationwide Permit Number 33 when it
is issued by the Corps of Engineers.
This approval is only valid for the purpose and design that you described in your application. If you
change your project, you must notify us and you may be required to send us a new application. For this
approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed in the attached certification. The abandoned
approaches shall be revegetated with native tree species on 10 foot centers to control water temperature.
In addition, you should get any other federal, state or local permits before you go ahead with your
project.
If you do not accept any of the conditions of this certification, you may ask for an adjudicatory
hearing. You must act within 60 days of the date that you receive this letter. To ask for a hearing, send
a written petition which conforms to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes to the Office
of Administrative Hearings, P.O. Box 27447, Raleigh, N.C. 27611-7447. This certification and its
conditions are final and binding unless you ask for a hearing.
This letter completes the review of the Division of Environmental Management under Section 401
of the Clean Water Act. If you have any questions, please telephone John Dorney at 919-733-1786.

SUBJECT: Union County - Replacement of Bridge No. 147 over Lake
Lee/Richardson Creek on SR 2102; T.I.P. No. B-2651; State Project
No. 8.2691201; DOA Action ID. No. 199401628
The referenced project was processed as a Categorical Exclusion, which
was approved by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers on March 11, 1994. The
existing one-lane bridge is to be replaced east of its existing location with
a two-lane structure, along with associated roadway improvements.
It has been determined that the new bridge cannot be constructed without
the placement of two temporary causeways in Lake Lee/Richardson Creek to
provide access for equipment. The attached cross-section and overhead
drawings illustrate the location and dimensions of the two proposed causeways
in relation to the new bridge. These causeways may need to be placed in Lake
Lee/Richardson Creek simultaneously throughout the construction period. Each
causeway will extend 15 meters into the creek from the banks. The causeways
will be needed for placement of bridge bents near the shoreline, while a.
barge will be used to place bents in the deeper areas of Lake Lee. This will
allow over 75 meters clearance to maintain flow of Lake Lee into Richardson
Creek. No fill in wetlands will be involved. Placement of Class B rip rap
above the banks will be required on both sides of the bridge. Washed stone
material obtained from a local rock quarry will be used to prevent the flow
of solids into the stream.
Vehicular traffic will be maintained on the existing bridge throug out
the construction period. Upon completion of the new bridge, the old bridge
will be removed and the old approach roadways will be abandoned. No
temporary causeways will be required for removal of the old bridge.

January 8, 1996
? Page 2
Prior to construction of the causeways, sediment control devices,
including silt fences and a stilling basin, will be installed. Turbidity
curtains will be placed around each bent. Upon removal of the temporary
causeways and following permanent stabilization of all disturbed areas, all
temporary sediment control devices will be removed. Construction is
scheduled to extend from May 1996 through May 1998. NCDOT does not
anticipate any permanent impacts to Richardson Creek or Lake Lee as a result
of the proposed work.

Application is hereby made for Nationwide Permit o. 33 ,for Temporary
