Although Dwarf wedge mussel was not found at this location. We have records of multiple mussel species at this site
including state list species: Creeper (Strophitus undulatus: state T) and Eastern lampmussel (Lampsilis radiata: state
T). Lick Creek in this area is also designated as a significant natural heritage area. We have worked with NCDOT in the
past on several bridge to culvert projects; in areas with degraded habitat this type of project can be accomplished
without further impacting aquatic species populations. This would not be the case for this project. What is the
justification for replacing this bridge with a culvert?

Good afternoon!
Please find the attached permit application for the above proposed bridge-to-culvert replacement with supplemental
information. Dave B. —your hard copy is in the mail.

Due to file sizes, I'll have to split this up into multiple emails (I'm sorry).
Please don't hesitate to call me with any questions or concerns!
Thanks!
Nikki
