Amy,
Can DOT address WRC concerns on this one? Is there some constructability/engineering
issues that requires splitting baseflow?

The proposed project splits the base flow of the stream into 2 barrels. This practice has
been rejected in recent years in Merger and other projects. I rarely see this, but lately a
few have been showing up. Attached are comments on another project (in Yancey Co. in
2016) where concerns about this practice were voiced and a brief literature review
(mainly FHWA publications) was provided. Also attached is an email conversation from
2014 where I indicated my concerns, making sure I wasn't over-reaching, and Marella's
reply with her thoughts on it. I received a couple other brief replies in agreement, but
received no disagreement. I'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.
I believe a redesign is needed for this project in order to minimize impacts; to maintain
the natural 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 stream. Is
there a reason proper flow can't be maintained through this crossing? Project designers
always try to avoid bents in the water when planning for a bridge, avoiding a wall in the
middle of a stream would seem to be even more important.
