Subject: Additional Information Request for Proposed Bridge Replacement
53 over Drowning Creek_B-5362_20170621
I have reviewed the PCN application for the subject bridge replacement proposal. Could
you please provide comments regarding the information request below?
Comments regarding GC4085/NW 3:
- The PCN states that jurisdictional determinations were made by RK&K. Please
provide a copy of the determinations.
- The nearest waterbody is Drowning Creek (WS-II; Sw, HQW). Projects
occurring within this watershed are subject to sedimentation and erosion control
designs set forth in 15A NCAC 04B .0124, Design Standards in Sensitive
Watersheds. Please provide a copy of, or weblink to, the sediment and erosion
control plan.
Comments regarding GC4086/NW 12:
- GC4086 states, "Construction corridors in wetlands and across stream channels
shall be minimized to the maximum extent practical and shall not exceed 50'
wide for gas utilities and 40' wide far all other utilities. Exceptions to this
condition require application to and written approval from DWR. [15A NCAC
02H .0506 (b)(2) and (c)(2)0]. Please indicate if the temporary utility easement
(Utility Wetland Impacts, Permit Drawing Sheet 2) will exceed 40'.
- GC4086 states, "For all utility lines constructed within wetlands, an anti-seep
collar shall be placed at the downstream (utility line gradient) wetland boundary
and every 150 feet up the gradient until the utility exits the wetland. Anti-seep
collars may be constructed with class B concrete, compacted clay, PVC pipe, or
metal collars. Wetland crossings that are directionally drilled, and perpendicular
wetland crossings that open cut and less than 150 feet long do not require anti-
seep collars." Could you please verify that this condition is met?
Additional comments:
Permit Drawing Sheet 4 of 7 highlights the addition of Class 1 Rip Rap. Could you please
explain why you are making these modifications?
Please consider addressing the above concerns as soon as possible to avoid permit delays.
Thanks,
April
