Lori and Dave,
I need to request renewal/reissuance of the NW 14 for BR-0048 in Surry County (Bridge 103 over the Mitchell River on
NC 268). However, I have recently been informed by the Division (Kevin Hining) that the project manager feels it would
be a good idea to stabilize the banks under the old and new bridge locations to protect the waters edge and immediate
bank area. The river seems to have migrated closer to the west/end bent one side, so additional protection would be
helpful, and given the sandy nature of the soils, it will be tough to pull out the concrete slope protection on the east/end
bent one side and regrade the banks with just coir fiber as the stabilization.
They would only be putting rip rap on the waters edge and up a few feet to the top of bank on the west/end bent one
side, and up the slope along the east/end bent two side to or near the bench for the proposed greenway. So, including
the greenway bench, there will still be a nice wide, rock -free bench on both sides for wildlife usage.
A good portion of the banks in this location are already hardened with concrete, so the only new impacts to the stream
would be 30 linear feet of bank stabilization. See the attached drawing showing the impact location. This would not be
a loss of water and no mitigation will be needed.
So my question for you is:
• Is this email documentation and a note to this effect in the renewal/Project Submittal form sufficient? The
attached drawing could also be included in the renewal attachments.
*or*
• Would you prefer a formal permit modification and renewal request (with cover letter, etc) to document
this additional bank stabilization?
Let me know what you'd prefer and I will proceed accordingly.
Thanks!
