Subject: Application for Section 404 Nationwide Permit 14, and 401 Water Quality
Certification Replacement of Bridge No. 580084 on SR 1234 (Parker Padgett Rd)
over I-40 in McDowell County, North Carolina, Division 13, TIP No. BR-0033.
Debit $240 from WBS Element No. 67033.1.1
Dear Ms. Beckwith:
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to replace bridge number
84 on SSR 1234 (Parker Padgett Road) over I-40 in McDowell County with a 209 foot, 2-span
reinforced concrete bridge with steel piles and girders. The proposed bridge will be placed east of
the existing bridge alignment, keeping the existing bridge during construction as an onsite detour.
This action will result in 109 lf of permanent impacts to streams from a channel relocation into a
lateral base ditch and <0.01 ac of temporary construction impacts to streams from dewatering.
Due to the condition of the current channelized ditch-like feature, and the replacement of this
feature with a similar but stable feature, NCDOT is not proposing mitigation for this project.
NCSAM forms are included in this application package.
Please see enclosed copies of the Pre-Construction Notification (PCN), Stormwater Management
Plan, and Permit Drawings. A Minimum Criteria Determination Checklist (MCDC) was
completed in November 2018 and distributed shortly thereafter. Additional copies are available
upon request.
This project calls for a letting date of February 15, 2022, and a review date of December 28, 2021.
A copy of this permit application and its distribution list will be posted on the NCDOT Website
at: https://xfer.services.ncdot.gov/pdea/PermApps/. If you have any questions or need additional
information, please contact Jeff Hemphill at (919) 219-8581.
Sincerely,
Philip S. Harris III, P.E., C.P.M.
