Heath,

On March 3, 2016, the US Army Corps of Engineers, Wilmington District received your written notification that you
intend to replace NCDOT Bridge #143 with a new bridge. The specific location where the work is planned is on SR 2048
(Stoney Ridge Road) over Grassy Creek, 0.08 mile east of its intersection with Grassy Creek Road in Surry County, North
Carolina. The geographic coordinates (in decimal degrees) are 36.29911° N and 80.47709° W. Your notification indicated
that you intend to permanently impact 52 linear feet of jurisdictional stream channel associated with bank stabilization
that you intend to temporarily impact 70 linear feet of jurisdictional stream channel.

Based on the information provided in your application, including Attachment G (Low/Minimum Impact Bridge Project
Data Sheet) of the 2010 Low Impact Bridge Replacement Document, your work is authorized by Nationwide Permit
(NWP) 3 for Maintenance Activities provided it is accomplished in strict accordance with the attached conditions,
Attachment J (Standard Recommendations of Small Bridge Replacements in Trout Waters) and your submitted
description. Any violation of the attached conditions or deviation from your submitted description may subject the
permittee to a stop work order, a restoration order and/or appropriate legal action. Attached is a copy of the NWP 3
and the applicable permit conditions. This verification is valid until the NWP is modified, reissued, or revoked. All of the
existing NWPs are scheduled to be modified, reissued, or revoked prior to March 18, 2017. It is incumbent upon you to
remain informed of changes to the NWPs. We will issue a public notice when the NWPs are reissued. Furthermore, if you
commence or are under contract to commence this activity before the date that the relevant nationwide permit is
modified or revoked, you will have twelve (12) months from the date of the modification or revocation of the NWP to
complete the activity under the present terms and conditions of this nationwide permit. The Action Identification
Number for this project is SAW-2016-01034.

The established surrogate consultation procedure with the USFWS regarding the Northern eared-bat (NLEB) was utilized
for this project.

This response to your notification does not relieve the permittee of the responsibility to obtain any other required

requested.

Please let me know if you have any questions regarding this permit or the conditions. You can call me at telephone
