I hereby certify that that I have reviewed the existing hydraulic conveyance at this site which was a 21 ft existing bridge with the proposed conveyance provided by the proposed 50.0 ft. span bridge.
The proposed bridge low chord for the bridge shall be set in accordance with the the FEMA Disaster Specific Guidance for the Replacement of Private Roads and Bridges issued on 14 February 2025, “to provide
bridge/culvert design plans certified (sealed, signed, and dated) by a Professional Engineer licensed in the State of North Carolina demonstrating that the newly designed and installed private bridge/culvert provides
conveyance greater than or equal to the original destroyed crossing”.
This certification demonstrates that the newly designed and installed private bridge/culvert provides conveyance greater than or equal to the original destroyed crossing. This is based on the best available data provided
from post storm evaluations. Portions of the existing structures may have been destroyed, removed, modified or shifted from their original location or elevation.
