Guys,
Marla has lifted her objection for this permit request. We therefore request that the
permits be issued based on the design plans that were submitted.

If you haven't heard, I did respond this morning and I won't object to the project as
proposed. Such practices, however, should be avoided in the future wherever possible.

Hi Marla,
Thanks for your time the other week on Wilkes 317. The current discussion is that a
2@15X 6 would be more preferable than the proposed and completed design of the
3@10'X6". I would like to request that this project move forward as designed with the
3@10'X6' for the following reasons:
The meeting minutes indicate that you were made aware of the proposed
structure back in May of 2014. While you may not have been at the FSM ( It
appears you were not based on the attendees list format), it is apparent that
you were copied. Bringing forward a concern about the configuration this late in
the project delivery process is difficult and requires redesign and delay in the
project. The culvert configuration was clearly identified in the notes.

The 3@10'X6' RCBC structure meets the existing stream channel configuration
better than the 2@15 feet and will cause less impact to flow disturbance than
the 2@15Feet. Measurements upstream and downstream of the crossing
indicate widths that average 19 feet under bridge, 20 feet upstream, and 16 feet
downstream. If these dimensions are averaged, it comes out to 18 feet. The
2@10X 6 foot culverts (not including high flow barrel) that will carry the
majority of the flow for the base flow and bankfull events have a more
consistent cross-sectional area than the 1@15X6 culvert (not including high flow
barrel). The 2@10X6 are closer to the existing available cross-sectional area
than the 1@15X6. While there is an 8" web that splits the flows, more efficient
conveyance area is maintained.
3. In your email on February 3, 2017 (attached) you noted "redesign is needed for
this project in order to minimize impacts; to maintain the natura/ dimension,
pattern and profile of the waterway through the crossing; and to avoid the
negative impacts that can occur from splitting the base flow of the river." While
the stream is in a Trout County, the West Prong Roaring River is a Class C stream
and not 303d and not designated as trout (WRC or DWR). There are also other
more adverse impacts in the watershed as identified in the photo below
(poultry farming and logging operations) that will impact the natural dimension,
pattern and profile of the waterway more than the crossing.

4. In addition, in your February 3, 2017 email, you state, "1'm not sure why the
news that this practice is inappropriate has not gotten out to all those that
design waterway crossings, but we need to try to correct that." Based on Yancey
16, SF-700353, and Wilkes 153 ( A few recent projects) NCDOT is not trending
towards splitting base flow but just the opposite. Yancey 16 was a specific case
3
where the proposed 2@8 X3 was redesigned to a bridge. The other projects
were a 2@13X8 RCBC and 20' X 1' bottomless culvert respectively. Many other
projects over the last several years were designed not to split the base flow or
put in the appropriate sills and baffles to maintain low flow depth.
The potential for debris blockage for the 3@10'X6' is not anymore a concern
than the 2@15'X6'. While a 15' opening is larger, the watershed has not been
prone to blockage and it is not anticipated that this will be a concern.
I greatly appreciate your consideration of this request. I am available for further
discussion.
