Subject: Stokes County, Replacement of Bridge No. 53 over Eurins Creek on
US 311, Federal Project No. BRSTP-311(6), State Project No.
8.1640801, T.I.P. No. B-3046.
On June 4, 1996, the North Carolina Department of Transportation distributed a
Categorical Exclusion document for the subject project, requesting that the NCWRC
provide comments to the Corps of Engineers and that the Corps of Engineers authorize
the project under Nationwide Permit 23.
Geotechnical studies are now needed at the site. We have determined that this
activity may be authorized under Nationwide Permit 6 (Survey Activities), and would not
require notification if not for the fact that this project will take place in a mountain trout
county.
With this information in mind, NCDOT is requesting that the NCWRC provide
comments to the Corps of Engineers, and that the Corps of Engineers authorize the survey
activity under Nationwide Permit 6.
