Dear Sir:
Please find attached a copy of the NWP 23 and 33 application package. This package was
submitted to Mr. Steve Lund of the Corps of Engineers on November 24, 1999.
Per today's telephone conversation, the impacts are minimal, so that written concurrence from the
DWQ is not required. If this is not the case and we do need written concurrence, please let me know as
soon as possible.
If you have any more questions regarding the permit application, please do not hesitate to contact
me, at 733-7844 extension 335.

SUBJECT: Poke County, Widen and rehabilitate Bridge No. 48 and Bridge No. 50 over the
North Pacolet River and SR 1516 (adjacent to the river); TIP No. I-2700 B,
State Project No. 8.1980301, Federal-Aid Project No. IR-26-1(46)36.
Dear Sir:
Please find attached the Type II(B) Categorical Exclusion for the referenced project. The
North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to widen and rehabilitate
Bridge Nos. 48 and 50 over the North Pacolet River and SR 1516, respectively. The new bridges
will have 24-foot travelways with 40-foot clear roadways (widening to provide 8 feet of lateral
clearance on each side).
Bridge Nos. 48 and 50 carry Interstate 26 over the North Pacolet River and SR 1516,
respectively, in Polk County. The existing right-of-way is 260 feet, which includes 24-foot
travelways and 24-foot clear roadway widths over the bridges. During widening and
rehabilitation, the only part of the existing structure that will be removed will be the bridge rail.
It will be removed in such a way that no components of the railing will fall into Waters of the
United States. Construction plans detailing the proposed causeway are depicted in the attached
drawings.
The North Pacolet River [DEM index number 9-55-1-(10), 3/1/1963] is the only
jurisdictional surface water resource that will be impacted. It has a DEM best usage classification
of C, waters suitable for aquatic life propagation and survival, fishing, wildlife, secondary
recreation, and agriculture. Although Polk County is classified as supporting trout waters, the NC
Wildlife Resources Commission has stated that the North Pacolet River is not a trout stream. In
addition, no waters that are classified as High Quality Waters (HQW), Water Supplies
(WS-1 or WS-H) nor Outstanding Resource Waters (ORW) occur within 1.6 km (1.0 mi) of
the project study area.
01
A temporary work pad will be required for this project. Temporary impacts to the surface
waters from the temporary causeway may total up to 0.13 acres. The temporary causeway will be
constructed of clean rock and will be removed from the streambed to the greatest extent practical
without extensive disturbance of the existing streambed after construction. Some residual may
remain. Construction plans detailing the proposed causeway are depicted in the attached
drawings.
No wetlands will be impacted by the proposed construction. The project is being
processed by the Federal Highway Administration as a "Categorical Exclusion" (CE) in
accordance with 23 CFR 771.115(b). Therefore, we do not anticipate requesting an individual
permit but propose to proceed under a Nationwide Permit in accordance with 61 Federal Register
65874, 65916, issued December 13, 1996 by the Corps of Engineers. The NCDOT is also
requesting a Section 404 Nationwide Permit 33 (Temporary Construction Access and
Dewatering) authorizing the construction of the causeway. The provisions of Section 330.4 and
Appendix A (C) of these regulations will be followed in the construction of the project.
We anticipate that 401 General Water Quality Certification No. 2734 (Categorical
Exclusion) will apply to this project, and are providing one copy of the CE document to the North
Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources, Division of Water Quality, for their
review. The NCDOT will adhere to the general conditions of the 401 Water Quality
Certification; therefore, written authorization from the NC Division of Water Quality is not
required.

pavement (3R and 411 improvements)
b. Widening roadway and shoulders without adding through lanes
c. Modernizing gore treatments
d. Constructing lane improvements (merge, auxiliary, and turn lanes)
e. Adding shoulder drains
f. Replacing and rehabilitating culverts, inlets, and drainage pipes,
including safety treatments
g. Providing driveway pipes
Performing minor bridge widening (less than one through lane)
Highway safety or traffic operations improvement projects including the
installation of ramp metering control devices and lighting.
a. Installing ramp metering devices
b. Installing lights
c. Adding or upgrading guardrail
d. Installing safety barriers including Jersey type barriers and pier
protection

repair, fender systems, and minor structural improvements
d. Replacing a bridge (structure and/or fill)
4. Transportation corridor fringe parking facilities.
5. Construction of new truck weigh stations or rest areas.
6. Approvals for disposal of excess right-of-way or for joint or limited use of
right-of-way, where the proposed use does not have significant adverse
impacts.
7. Approvals for changes in access control.
8. Construction of new bus storage and maintenance facilities in areas used
predominantly for industrial or transportation purposes where such
construction is not inconsistent with existing zoning and located on or near
a street with adequate capacity to handle anticipated bus and support
vehicle traffic.
9. Rehabilitation or reconstruction of existing rail and bus buildings and
ancillary facilities where only minor amounts of additional land are
required and there is not a substantial increase in the number of users.
10. Construction of bus transfer facilities (an open area consisting of
passenger shelters, boarding areas, kiosks and related street
improvements) when located in a commercial area or other high activity

12. Acquisition of land for hardship or protective purposes, advance land
acquisition loans under section 3(b) of the UMT Act. Hardship and
protective buying will be permitted only for a particular parcel or a limited
number of parcels. These types of land acquisition qualify for a CE only
where the acquisition will not limit the evaluation of alternatives,
including shifts in alignment for planned construction projects, which may
be required in the NEPA process. No project development on such land
may proceed until the NEPA process has been completed.
D. Special Project Information: (Include Environmental Commitments and Permits
Required.)
A temporary causeway will be constructed to do the
necessary pier work. Consequently, a Section 404
Nationwide 33 Permit from the U.S. Army Corps'of Engineers
and a Section 401 Water Quality Certification from the N.C.
Division of Water Quality will be required.
