Subject: Application for Section 404 Nationwide Permits 13, 23, and 33, for the
Proposed Replacement of Bridge 29 on NC 226 over Big Rock Creek in
Mitchell County, Division 14, TIP No. B-5170, Federal Aid Project No.
BRSTP-0226(14) Debit $240 from WBS# 42328.1.1.
Dear Ms. Beckwith:
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to replace bridge number
29 on NC 226 over Big Rock Creek in Mitchell County with a new single-span, 65-foot, 24-inch
cored slab bridge, with end bent caps extended to the scour line and spanning the creek with no
bents in the water. An on-site detour bridge will be constructed upstream of the
existing/proposed bridge. Total permanent stream impacts are 30 lf, with 20 lf from a 42-inch
RCP, and 10 lf from bank stabilization. Temporary stream impacts total 83 lf (0.02 ac.), with 29
lf (<OA1 ac.) from a temporary work pad needed to remove the existing bridge bents, 13 lf
(<0.01 ac.) from the 42-inch RCP, and 41 lf (<0.01 ac.) from a 24-inch RCP used for the detour.
Please see enclosed copies of the Pre-Construction Notification (PCN), DMS Acceptance Letter,
Stormwater Management Plan, Permit Drawings, and Roadway Plan Sheets. A Exclusion (CE)
was completed in October 2016 and distributed shortly thereafter. Additional copies are
available upon request.
This project calls for a letting date of February 20, 2018 and a review date of January 2, 2018;
however, the let date may advance as additional funding becomes available.
