Blue Ridge Parkway » Right-of Way Permit for the City of Asheville to Access Blue Ridge Parkway Bridge
The Blue Ridge Parkway, a unit of the National Park Service, has prepared an environmental assessment (EA) to evaluate the direct, secondary and cumulative environmental consequences of issuing a 10-year right-of-way (ROW) permit to the City of Asheville. The purpose of this permit would be to allow city access to a city-owned beneficial (inert) fill site located approximately 0.15 miles west of Parkway Milepost (MP) 383 (at the Parkway bridge over the Swannanoa River).
