Dear Ms. Beckwith:
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to replace bridge number 3
on SR 112 (Possum Trot Road) over Possumtrot Creek in Yancey County with a double barrel (2
@ 13' X 5') reinforced concrete box culvert (RCBC). During construction, traffic will be
maintained on the existing structure and roadway. Total permanent stream impacts are 2291f, with
89 lf from the RCBC, and 140 lf from channel improvements. Temporary stream impacts
associated with the channel improvements tota1301f (<0.01 ac.).
Please see enclosed copies of the Pre-Construction Notification (PCN), DMS Acceptance Letter,
Stormwater Management Plan, Permit Drawings, and Roadway Plan Sheets. A Categorical
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 January 16, 2018 and a review date of November 28, 2017;
however, the let date may advance as additional funding becomes available.
Pursuant to a July 30, 2013 letter from NCWRC, a moratorium prohibiting in-stream work and
land disturbance with the 25-foot trout buffer is recommended from October 15 to April 15.
Sediment and erosion control measure will adhere to the Design Standards in Sensitive
