USACE NWP PCN.pdf

This is a Nationwide Permit (NWP) document issued by the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) related to the STP-0377(008) Seismic Retrofit project on Haleakala Highway in Maui, Hawaii. The project encompasses seismic retrofitting of three bridges: Waiale Gulch, Alae (Naalae Gulch), and Pulehu Gulch (Pohakuokala) Bridges. The scope of work includes removal of debris from piers, wrapping piers with carbon fiber, removal and replacement of backfill behind abutments using controlled low-strength material (CLSM), replacement of creep blocks at bents, pier footing upgrades, installation of pavement and pavement markers, temporary erosion control measures, scour countermeasures at Alae Bridge Pier 1, and traffic control throughout construction. The project is authorized under the USACE Nationwide Permit program, which streamlines the permitting process for certain categories of work that meet specific environmental and regulatory standards.

The NWP authorization allows the project to proceed under general conditions rather than requiring an individual permit, reducing permitting timelines and administrative burden. This permit is contingent upon compliance with standard USACE conditions related to environmental protection, water quality, and construction practices. The work directly supports the state of Hawaii's transportation infrastructure improvements through federal-state partnership funding mechanisms. No specific pricing information, set-asides, or contract award details are contained within this permit document, as it functions as an environmental and regulatory authorization separate from the procurement and contract award process for construction services.
