The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers issued Nationwide Permit No. 23
(Categorical Exclusion) for this project on April 15, 1996. At this time,
foundation test borings are necessary in the channel and along the banks of
Warrior Creek. This work will be necessary to obtain foundation information for
design of the structure. We have determined that this activity may be authorized
under Nationwide Permit No. 6 for Survey Activities. As this project occurs in a
designated 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.
Attached herein are a project location map and pre-discharge notification
