12. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED WORK INCLUDING DISCUSSION OF TYPE OF
MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT TO BE USED (ATTACH PLANS: 8 1/2" X 11" DRAWINGS

creek. No wetlands will be permanently impacted by the utility line relocation. The water line will be
12-inch ductile iron and will be encased with 24-inch encasement pipe. The trench width through the
creek will be approximately 48 inches wide. The stream impacts for the waterline installation will be
approximately 200 square feet. The contractor has indicated that it will take one day to complete the
stream crossing. No cofferdams will be required. Preconstruction contours will be restored in the
streambed. All material resulting from excavation in the stream will be placed so that currents or
other forces do not disperse it. Any excess material will be removed to upland areas and exposed
stream banks stabilized immediately upon completion.
13. PURPOSE OF PROPOSED WORK: Replace Culvert with a bridge following wash out
during Hurricane Floyd.

Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources, Division of Water Quality,
for their review.
The DOT requests that the COE authorize this activity in Bladen County under a Section
404 Nationwide Permit 12. Issuance of 401 Water Quality Certification by the Division of

Dear Sir:
Subject: Bladen County, Replacement of Bridge Nos. 211 over Browns Creek on
NC 87, State Project No. 8.1000021, FEMA Site 420022. Action
I.D. 200000264.
On December 3, 1999 the Corps of Engineers verified the issue of General Permit No.
198200031 (GP 31). The permit (Action I.D. 200000264) authorized the replacement of a
10-foot by 12-foot culvert with a new bridge. The culvert had been washed out during
Hurricane Floyd.
Project design now requires the replacement of an existing utility (water) line under the
creek. No wetlands will be permanently impacted by the utility line relocation. The water
line will be 12-inch ductile iron and will be encased with 24-inch encasement pipe. The
trench width through the creek will be approximately 48 inches wide. The stream impacts
for the waterline installation will be approximately 200 square feet. The contractor has
indicated that it will take one day to complete the stream crossing. No cofferdams will be
required. Preconstruction contours will be restored in the streambed. All material
resulting from excavation in the stream will be placed so that currents or other forces do
not disperse it. Any excess material will be removed to upland areas and exposed stream
banks stabilized immediately upon completion.
