SUBJECT: Temporary Causeway for Bridge No. 16 on SR 1795 over Henry
Fork River; Burke County; Federal Aid No. BRZ-1795(1); State
Project No. 8.2851801; TIP No. B-2933.
Dear Sir:
Since the Nationwide 23 application letter was sent, changes in the project
construction plans have been made. The proposed project is scheduled to let to
construction in April 2000. Attached for your information is a copy of the design plans
for the construction of a temporary work pad to drill shafts for this project. Temporary
impacts to the surface waters from the temporary causeway total 180 square meters.
It is anticipated that the above-mentioned activities will be authorized under a
Section 404 Nationwide Permit 33 (Temporary Construction, Access, and Dewatering
Activities). The DOT is therefore requesting the issuance of a nationwide permit
authorizing the construction of the causeway.
By copy of this letter and application, the DOT also asks that the appropriate
General 401 Water Quality Certification be issued by the Division of Water Quality for
this construction work. Enclosed are construction drawings and a completed
preconstruction notification form for a Nationwide Permit 33 and General 401 Water
Certification. Comments will be provided by the WRC concerning this change in the
project design, if necessary, following receipt of this letter and application. WRC will
forward their comments directly to the COE.

Ifyou have any questions or need any additional information, please contact Mr.
Jeffrey Burleson at [phone], Extension. 315.
Sincerely,
I/. C- A&
