Jeff,

Based on our site visits to these bridges and the amount of devastation to the structures as well as
woody debris piled in the middle of streams, DWR can allow this debris removal prior to 401
issuance. As soon as the designs are submitted and the contract awarded, please submit for written
concurrence. It is our understanding that the Corps anticipates these structures to be handled under
the NW3.

Please provide pictures for each associated bridge replacement in Alexander County for
documentation purposes.

Regards,
Donna Hood

Subject: Alexander County Bridge washouts

Donna,

Bridge #136 on Liberty Hill Road over South Yadkin River and Bridge #141 on Cattleman’s Road over
Snow Creek in Iredell County has recently failed due to the intense flooding in November of this
year. NCDOT proposes to replace these bridges under emergency contracts as soon as possible.
Due to the excessive debris and instability of the remaining portions of the bridges, NCDOT would
like to begin debris removal and Geotech borings as permit/construction drawings are being
prepared to accelerate the replacements. It is estimated that 75-ft of bank stabilization will be
needed to restore the area back to pre-disaster conditions on Liberty Hill Road and approximately
60-ft on Cattleman’s Road. Upon receipt of final permit drawings a Pre-Construction Notification
application will be completed and submitted for impacts.

NCDOT requests permission to begin debris removal and Geotech borings prior to submitting for a
permit.

A survey of both study areas was conducted on 12/11/2020. No other jurisdictional features or any
Threatened or Endangered species were found in these study areas.

Thank you,

Jeffrey L. Wyatt
