Subject: Nationwide Permit #3 & #33
Bridge #690 on SR 2413
Wilkes County, North Carolina
Project Number: 5.7652 (No DWQ Permit Fee Required)
Dear Mr. Thomas:
The North Carolina Department of Transportation is scheduled to replace Bridge #690 on SR
2413 with a 28'x 6' Crown Span at the same location. No detour is proposed.
Miscellaneous rip-rap impacts will total 20 linear feet or less. New stream impacts = 20 In. feet.
The replacement of the existing bridge with the proposed Crown Span will require temporary
dewatering. Impervious sandbag dikes will be constructed running parallel to the existing stream
bank to dewater the stream's edge for footer installation. Any dirty water located inside the
construction areas will be pumped into a silt bag. The dewatered areas will total approximately
0.01 acres. Once the new structure is in place, the impervious dices will be removed and
preconstruction streambed elevations will be restored.
Construction of this project will require impacts to waters of the United States in the Yadkin
River Basin. Bridge #690 crosses Osborn Creek (Class: WS-III). This project was reviewed for
the presence of threatened and endangered species on April 29, 2003. The subject project will
have no effect on any federally listed endangered plant or animal species. Historic compliance
work will be scheduled and concurrence with the State Historic Preservation Office will be
obtained if required.
Attached is a Preconstruction Notification Form, plan sheets, a marked county map, a marked
topography map and photographs.

Page 7 of 12
VIII. Mitigation
DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC
Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to
freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams.
USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on March 9, 2000, mitigation will be required when
necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors
including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted
aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable
mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include,
but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland
and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of
aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar
functions and values, preferable in the same watershed.
If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order
for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application
lacking a required mitigation plan or NCWRP concurrence shall be placed on hold as
incomplete. An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration
in DWQ's Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strmgide.html.
Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide
as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions
and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet)
of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view,
preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a
description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach
a separate sheet if more space is needed.

TO: John Thomas, USACOE
Raleigh Regulatory Field Office
FROM: Ron Linville, Regional Coordinator
Habitat Conservation Program
DATE: May 5, 2003
SUBJECT: North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT), Bridge No. 690,
SR2413, Osborn Creek, Wilkes County
NCDOT proposes to replace the referenced bridge with a 28' x 6' Crown Span at the
same location. Biologists with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission are
familiar with habitat values in the area. These comments are provided in accordance with
the provisions of the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16
U.S.C. 661-667d) and the North Carolina Environmental Policy Act (G.S. 113A-1
through 113A-10; NCAC 25).
The project will require temporary dewatering. Impervious sandbag dikes will be used
parallel to the stream for footer installation. Miscellaneous riprap impacts will total 20
linear feet. New stream impacts will be 20 linear feet. Small mouth bass and warm
water fish species are present in the area.
Our preference is to replace the bridge with another spanning structure; therefore, we will
not object to the project provided the following conditions are implemented:
1. Instream activities are prohibited during the fish spawning season of May
through July 15 to prevent off-site sedimentation from impacting fish eggs
and fry downstream of the site.
2. Any riprap used must not interfere with aquatic life movement during low
flows.
3. The dimension, pattern, and profile of the stream above and below the project
should not be modified by widening the stream channel or reducing the depth
of the stream. Disturbed floodplains and streams should be restored to natural
geomorphic conditions.
Bridge 690, SR2413 2 May 5, 2003
4. If concrete will be used, work must be accomplished so that wet concrete does
not contact stream water. This will lessen the chance of altering the stream's
water chemistry and causing a fish kill.
5. Heavy equipment should be operated from the bank rather than in the stream
channel in order to minimize sedimentation and reduce the likelihood of
introducing other pollutants into the stream.
6. Stringent erosion control measures should be installed where soil is disturbed
and maintained until project completion.
7. Temporary or permanent herbaceous vegetation should be planted on all bare
soil within 15 days of ground disturbing activities in the twenty-five (25)
foot trout buffer to provide long-term erosion control. We encourage NCDOT
to utilize onsite vegetation and materials for streambank stabilization when
practicable.
Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on this project during the early
planning stages. If you have any questions regarding these comments, please contact me
at 336/769-9453.
