Andrew,
Please see the additional information requested on 1/26/22 for the Brooks Cove Road project below:
1. The agent authorization form provided with the PCN is signed by a former property owner. Please provide an
agent authorization form signed by the project applicant. (15A NCAC 02H .0502(a)(11)]
Please see the updated agent authorization form signed by the current property owner (Attached).
2. The Division recommends against the use of reinforced concrete pipe (RCP) for the stream crossing as it is
unlikely to hold stream substrate and provide for aquatic organism passage at the proposed slope. Can the RCP
be replaced with corrugated pipe? Please note if the RCP is used for the stream crossing and fails to hold stream
substrate, the Division will require the culvert be modified with a sill, or similar structure, to hold stream
substrate. [15A NCAC 02H .0506(b)(3)]
spoke with the engineers at CDC on this issue. Three considerations they need to account for is culvert
availability from the supplier, culvert longevity and culvert strength based on type. They have proposed
replacing the two sections of concrete pipe with HDPE pipe installed with flexi baffles to aid in holding stream
substrate and to help provide for aquatic organism passage. We can provide an updated detail sheet for this
change if you would like.
I will also copy you on the forthcoming response to the additional information requested by the Army Corps of Engineers
for the project on 1/27/22.
Thanks,
