Subject: Request for a Nationwide Permit 3 and 401 Water Quality Certification for� the
replacement of 3 culverts on NC HWY 12 in Frisco, Dare County. WBS # L1028111
The NC Department of Transportation is requesting the issuance of a Nationwide Permit
3 and 401 Water Quality Certification for the replacement of 3 culverts on NC HWY 12 in Frisco,
Dare County. The culverts are located on NC HWY 12 approximately 0.06 miles south of SR
1298. The culverts are located on a jurisdictional stream to the Pamlico Sound, which is
classified by DWR as class "SA;HQW" waters. The existing culverts are (3) 36" diameter X 55'
long corrugated metal pipes. These culverts will be removed using NCDOT's guidelines for
culvert removal. The proposed culverts are (2) 48" diameter X 60' long corrugated aluminum
pipes and will be placed on the existing alignment as shown in the pertnit drawings. The new
culverts will be placed more than 1 foot below the surveyed st�•eam bed. The project will result in
5 linear feet of jurisdictional stream impact, but no wetland impacts. The site is also within an
Area of Environmental Concern (AEC), and a CAMA General Permit .2300 will be requested
from the NC Division of Coastal Management.
Included with this letter• are the location inap, PCN, and permit drawings. If you have
questions please call me at [phone].
