Subject: Granville County, Replacement of Bridge No. 128 over Johnson Creek on
SR 1431 (Grassy Creek Road); Federal Aid Project No. BRZ-1431(2);
State Project No. 8.2370601; TIP No. B-2829; USACE Action
ID 199602440.
As you are aware, the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) authorized the
replacement of Bridge No. 128 over Johnson Creek under a Section 404 Nationwide
Permit 23 (Categorical Exclusion) on July 13, 1999 . The purpose of this letter is request
authorization under a Section 404 Nationwide Permit 33 to construct temporary
causeways for the project.
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) plans to replace the
bridge on existing location. To replace Bridge No. 128, temporary causeways will be
needed to construct drilled shafts. Impacts to Johnson Creek total 0.03 acre of surface
waters and 260 cubic yards of rip rap. A drawing of the work as well as a pre-
construction notification are attached to this letter. The NCDOT believes that the work
associated with temporary causeways may be authorized under a Section 404 Nationwide
Permit 33.
The 401 Water Quality Certification (WQC) does not require written concurrence
from North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) as NCDOT intends to comply
with general conditions of this certification. A courtesy copy of the permit application is
supplied to NCDWQ.
In summary, the proposed causeways will impact 0.03 acre of surface water and
require 260 cubic yards of rip rap to construct. The NCDOT asks that this work be
