Subject: Application for Section 404 Nationwide Permit 13 and 33 for the Proposed
Replacement of Bridge 11 on NC 109 over Deadfall Creek in Anson County,
Division 10, WBS 45771.1.1, TIP No. B-5818.

Dear Madam:

The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to replace bridge number 11 on NC
109 with a new bridge downstream of the existing alignment. Traffic will utilize the existing bridge during
construction.

As a result of replacing the existing bridge, there will be 66 linear feet of stream bank stabilization at the
location of the existing bridge and at the outlet of new ditches, and <0.01 acre of temporary stream impacts
from temporary impervious dikes causeways needed for removal of the existing bridge and installation of
bank stabilization.

Please see enclosed copies of the Pre-Construction Notification (PCN), which includes the following
attachments: pre-filing notification documentation, mussel survey memo, Catawba response letter,
Stormwater Management Plan, and Permit Drawings. A Minimum Criteria Determination Checklist
(MCDC) was completed in November 2018 and distributed shortly thereafter.

This project calls for a letting date of March 16, 2021 and a review date of January 26, 2021.

A copy of this permit application and its distribution list will be posted on the NCDOT Website at:
http://connect.ncdot.gov/resources/Environmental. If you have any questions or need additional
information, please contact Erin Cheely at [e-mail] or [phone].

Sincerely,

Philip S. Harris III, P.E., C.P.M.
