Subject: Application for Section 404 Nationwide Permits 13, 23, and 33, for the
Proposed Replacement of Bridge 95 on SR 1100 (Lasater Road) over
Blanket Creek in Forsyth County, Division 9, TIP No. B-5152
(17BP.9.R.99); Debit $240 from WBS# 17BP.9.R.99.

Dear Mr. Lastinger:

The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to replace bridge number
95 on SR 1100 (Lasater Road) over Blanket Creek in Forsyth County. The existing bridge will
be abandoned, rather than replaced, as the substructure appears to share a foundation with the
adjacent house and spillway. A new bridge, an approximately 137-foot, two-span structure, 21-
inch core slab units @ 55 feet, and 33-inch box beam units @ 80 feet will be constructed
downstream of the existing bridge, along with associated new roadway. The new roadway
alignment will require that a 7’ X 6’ single-barrel RCBC be constructed in an unnamed tributary
to Blanket Creek. The existing bridge will continue to be used during the construction of the
new bridge to maintain traffic. There will be a total of 250 linear feet of permanent stream
impact, with 72 linear feet being bank stabilization; and 0.03 acre (224 lf) of associated
temporary stream impact. Additionally, there will be 0.10 acre of permanent wetland impact.

Please see enclosed copies of the Pre-Construction Notification (PCN), DMS Acceptance Letter,
Stormwater Management Plan, Permit Drawings, and Roadway Plan Sheets. A Programmatic
Categorical Exclusion (PCE) was completed in December 2015 and distributed shortly
thereafter. Additional copies are available upon request.

This project calls for a letting date of January16, 2018 and a review date of November 28, 2017;
however, the let date may advance as additional funding becomes available.
