Please find attached a vicinity map along with a plan view of the proposed work and a completed pre-construction notification form. Wetland impacts will occur as a result of this work. One wetland is crossed by SR 1315. Wetland impacts total 480.0 square feet (0.011 acres). Additionally, existing crosslines will be replaced at one location. The existing 40.0' x 24" and 40.0 x 18" pipes on an unnamed tributary to Buckhorn Creek will be replaced with two 48.0' x 24.0" crosslines. The NCDOT requests that this work be authorized under the provisions of Nationwide Permit No. 14. By copy of this letter, the NCDOT also requests that the North Carolina Division of Water Quality issue the appropriate water quality certification. A check for $200.00 is attached to cover the permit fees. Work will begin as soon as the permits are issued. Thank you for your attention to this important matter. Sincerely, D. R.
