Cowl JR. SECRETARY 11Q243 The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to place gabions filled with large riprap around the bents of a bridge over Hogans Creek on US 158 in Rockingham County. The riprap is necessary in order to stop scouring around the base of the bents and therefore maintain the structural integrity of the bridge. This activity will result in permanent impacts to Hogans Creek. The NCDOT anticipates that the activity will be authorized under Nationwide Permit (NWP) 3. This application is intended as a request for written authorization from the US Army Corps of Engineers for the Nationwide 3 as described under General Condition 027. This package is also being forwarded to the NC Division of Water Quality as a courtesy notification. The following information is being provided to satisfy conditions of the Nationwide Permit and General Water Quality Certification. P.O.

Burial Depth N/A E/C Plan N/A Date Construction As soon as practicable Duration One week Date Impacts ft. Approximately 38.6 total linear feet of permanent stream impacts. Special Conditions Restoration Plan Within 15 working days of the project completion any disturbed area adjacent to the stream will be restored and seeded. RCP = reinforced concrete pipe; CMP = Corrugated metal pipe; CMPA = Corrugated metal pipe arch; E/C = Erosion control. 'A less intrusive dewate6ng device may be used in lieu of the one proposed. MINIMIZATION INFORMATION Impacts will be minimized by strict enforcement of Best Management Practices for the protection of surface waters and wetlands, restrictions against the staging of equipment in or adjacent to waters of the US, and coordination (including a pre-construction meeting) with the Division Environmental Officer. MITIGATION INFORMATION Stream mitigation Is not anticipated, as the impacts to any individual stream do not exceed 150 feet Wetland mitigation is not anticipated, as wetland impacts do not exceed 0.10 acres and do not occur in a unique natural wetland.
