Subject: Brunswick R-3601 Modification Request
Importance: High
Amy and Chris,
Based on our conversations with the Corps of Engineers and Division 3, the modification request for R-3601 submitted
on March 13, 2015 may not correctly address all of the impacts associated with the proposed construction of the bridges
over Alligator Creek (Site 10). The following items need to be either clarified or revised before DWR can process the
modification request:
1. Bent 1 on the northbound lane — the drill shafts were permitted as a permanent surface water impact in the
original authorization, however the cap is now proposed to be at or just below natural ground which is below
the OHM and therefore should be added as a permanent surface water impact. Please clarify if this has been
accounted for in the permanent surface water impacts or adjust the impacts accordingly. NOTE: if the proposed
temporary excavation for the cap form around Bent 1 is not going to be restored to its pre-existing elevation, it
must be listed as a permanent surface water impact as well.
2. Permanent wetland impacts is being proposed in this modification request at the northern endbents (Endbent 2)
of both bridges over Alligator Creek for inspection clearance purposes. It is our understanding that this
excavation may extend beyond the depicted wetland boundaries and into natural ground below the OHM at
both bridges which is a permanent surface water impact. Please clarify if additional excavation below the OHM
is required at the endbents and if it is please adjust the permanent surface water impacts accordingly.
Pursuant to 15A NCAC 2H .0507(a)(5), we have placed the permit application on hold until we are supplied the necessary
information. You have 21 days to respond in writing with the requested information or notification to this office that
the information is forthcoming. If, at the end of the 21 days, this office has not received this information in writing, we
will assume you are withdrawing your application and it will be returned. Furthermore, until the information is received
by the NC Division of Water Resources, we request (by copy of this letter) that the US Army Corps of Engineers and the
Division of Coastal Management place the permit application on hold.
If you have any questions about the information requested or if I can be any further assistance with this project, please
do not hesitate to contact me.
