d coordinator (listed by county on the last page of this application).
Page 1 of 11
CAMA Coordination - If the project occurs in any of North Carolina's twenty coastal counties (listed on
the last page of this application) the applicant should also contact the North Carolina Division of Coastal
Management (DCM) at [phone]. DCM will determine whether or not the project involves a
de ignated Area of Environmental Concern, in which case DCM will act as the lead permitting agency.
In such cases, DCM will require a Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA) Permit and will coordinate
the 404/401 Permits.
U?ACE Permits - Submit one copy of this form, along with supporting narratives, maps, data forms,
photos, etc. to the applicable USACE Regulatory Field Office (addresses are listed at the end of this
application). Upon receipt of an application, the USACE will determine if the application is complete as
soon as possible, not to exceed 30 days. This PCN form is designed for the convenience of the applicant
to address information needs for all USACE Nationwide, Regional or General permits, as well as
information required for State authorizations, certifications, and coordination. Fully providing the
information requested on this form will result in a complete application for any of the USACE
Nationwide, Regional or General permits. To review the minimum amount of information that must be
provided for a complete PCN for each USACE Nationwide permit, see Condition 13, 65 Fed.Reg. 12893
QvIarch 9, 2000), available at http://www saw usace army.mil/wetlands/nwpfinalFedReg.pdf.

1 Water Quality Certification or Buffer Rules - All information is required unless otherwise stated
optional. Incomplete applications will be returned. Submit seven collated copies of all USACE
rmit materials to the Division of Water Quality, 401/Wetlands Unit, 1650 Mail Service Center,
leigh, NC, 27699-1650. If written approval is required or specifically requested for a 401
rtification, then a non-refundable application fee is required. In brief, if project impacts include less
un one acre of cumulative wetland/water impacts and less than 150 feet cumulative impacts to
eams, then a fee of $200 is required. If either of these thresholds is exceeded, then a fee of $475 is
luired. A check made out to the North Carolina Division of Water Quality, with the specific name of
;project or applicant identified, should be stapled to the front of the application package. For more
ormation, see the DWQ website at http://h2o.ehnr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/fees.html. The fee must be
ached with the application unless the applicant is a federal agency in which case the check may be
ued from a separate office. In such cases, the project must be identifiable on the U. S. Treasury check
that it can be credited to the appropriate project. If written approval is sought solely for Buffer Rules,
application fee does not apply, and the applicant should clearly state (in a cover letter) that only
iffer Rule approval is sought in writing. Wetlands or waters of the U.S. may not be impacted prior to
uance or waiver of a Section 401 Water Quality Certification. Upon receipt of a complete application
a 401 Certification, the Division of Water Quality has 60 days to prepare a written response to the
plicant. This may include a 401 Certification, an on-hold letter pending receipt of additional
luested information, or denial.

Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization)
Specifically describe measures taken to avoid the proposed impacts. It may be useful to provide
information related to site constraints such as topography, building ordinances, accessibility, and
financial viability of the project. The applicant may attach drawings of alternative, lower-impact
site layouts, and explain why these design options were not feasible. Also discuss how impacts
were minimized once the desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction
techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts.
Pie replacement activities and widening activities are neces§M to increase travel lane and
shoulder width to current construction standards Existing crosslines must also be enlarged to
reduce flooding. Impacts within the riparian buffers located between 96+65 and-100+35-are
being minimized by holding the right-of-way centerline in accordance with the 1981 plat;
constructing ditches and shoulders that are narrower than normal NCDOT standards on the north
side of the road-, and retaining the forested area that lie north of the existing fence line. Ponds
shown south of sites 2 and 3 on the Caldwell. North Carolina USGS 7.5 Minute Series
topographic MV, (1968) are no longer present This may be confirmed by reviewing Sheet I 1 of

Mitigation
DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC
Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to
freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams.
USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on March 9, 2000, mitigation will be required when
necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors
including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted
aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable
mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include,
but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland
and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of
aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar
functions and values, preferable in the same watershed.
If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order
for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application
lacking a required mitigation plan or NCWRP concurrence shall be placed on hold as
incomplete. An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration
in DWQ's Draft Technical Guide. for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strmgide.html.
1. Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide
as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions
and/or map, if offske), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet)
of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view,
preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a
description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach
a separate sheet if more space is needed.
