Subject: Application for Section 404 Regional General Permit 50 and 401 Certification
for the Replacement of Bridges 57 and 59 on US 29/601 (Concord Parkway) over
Irish Buffalo Creek in Cabarrus County, Division 10,
TIP B-5808. Debit $570 from WBS 45762.1.1.

Dear Sir:

The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to replace bridge numbers 57 and
59 on US 29/601 with a new bridge on existing alignment. Traffic will be staged/phased on the existing
and new bridges during construction.

As a result of replacing the existing bridges, there will be 265 linear feet of permanent impact from stream
bank stabilization, and 275 linear feet (0.05 acre) of impervious dikes for dewatering for the installation of
streambank stabilization. Note that 265 linear feet of the above 275 linear feet of temporary impact is
within the permanent stream bank stabilization impact.

Please see enclosed copies of the Pre-Construction Notification (PCN), which includes the following
attachments: pre-filing meeting request form, 4(d) memo, sunflower survey memo, no archaeological
survey required form, no historic architecture required form, Catawba response letter, Stormwater
Management Plan, and Permit Drawings.

This project calls for a letting date of September 20, 2022, and a review date of August 2, 2022.

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].

Sincerely,

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