This form is also to be used for any project requiring approval under any Riparian Buffer Rules implemented by the N.C. Division of Water Quality. This form should not be used if you are requesting an Individual 404 Permit or Individua1401 Water Quality Certification. The USAGE Individual Permit application form is available online at http://www.saw.usace.army.mil/wetlands/Perm app.htm. The USAGE is the lead regulatory agency. To review the requirements for the use of Nationwide, Regional or General permits, and to determine which permit applies to your project, please go to the USAGE website at http://www.saw.usace.army.mil/wetlands/re our.htm, or contact one of the field offices listed on page 3 of this application. The website also lists the responsible project manager for each county in North. Carolina and provides additional information regarding the identification and regulation of wetlands and waters of the U.S. The DWQ issues a corresponding Certification (General or Individual), and cannot tell the applicant which 401 Certification will apply until the 404 Permit type has been determined by the USAGE. Applicants are encouraged to visit DWQ's 401/Wetlands Unit website at htt~//h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands to read about current requirements for the 401 Water Quality Certification Program and to determine whether or not Riparian Buffer Rules are applicable. The applicant is also advised to read the full text of the General Certification (GC) matching the specific 404 Permit requested. In some cases, written approval for General Certifications is not required, provided that the applicant adheres to all conditions of the GC. Applicants lacking access to the Internet should contact DWQ's Central Office in Raleigh at (919) 733-1786. Trout Waters Coordination - Special coordination with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) is required for projects occurring in any of North Carolina's twenty-five counties that contain trout waters. In such cases, the applicant should contact the appropriate NCWRC regional coordinator (listed by county on page 4 of this application). Page 1 of 13 Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA) Coordination - If the project occurs in any of North Carolina's twenty coastal counties (listed on page 4) the applicant should contact the North Carolina Division of Coastal Management (DCM). DCM will determine whether or not the project is within a designated Area of Environmental Concern, in which case DCM will act as the lead permitting agency. In such cases, DCM will require a CAMA Permit and will coordinate the 404/401 Permits. The applicant may also choose to coordinate with the United States Fish and Wildlife Service to ensure that the proposed project will have no impact upon any endangered or threatened species or critical habitat as regulated by the Endangered Species Act, and the State Historic Preservation Office, North Carolina Department of Cultural Resources to ensure that the proposed project will have no impact upon any properties listed or eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. Compliance with these regulations is required to be eligible for any Department of the Army permit. The addresses for both agencies are listed on page 3 of this application. USAGE Permits -Submit one copy of this form, along with supporting narratives, maps, data forms, photos, etc. to the applicable USAGE Regulatory Field Office. Upon receipt of an application, the USAGE 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 USAGE 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 USAGE Nationwide, Regional or General permits. To review the minimum amount of information that must be provided for a complete PCN for each USAGE Nationwide permit, see Condition 13, 65 Fed. Reg. 12893 (March 9, 2000), available at ham://www.saw.usace.army.mil/wetlands/nwpfinalFedReg_Rdf. Processing times vary by permit and begin once the application has been determined to be complete. Please contact the appropriate regulatory field office for specific answers to permit processing periods. 401 Water Quality Certification or Buffer Rules -All information is required unless otherwise stated as optional. Incomplete applications will be returned. Submit seven collated copies of all USAGE Permit materials to the Division of Water Quality, 401/Wetlands Unit, 1650 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC, 27699-1650. If written approval is required or specifically requested fora 401 Certification, then anon-refundable application fee is required. In brief, if project impacts include less than one acre of cumulative wetland/water impacts and less than 150 feet cumulative impacts to streams, then a fee of $200 is required. If either of these thresholds is exceeded, then a fee of $475 is required. A check made out to the North Carolina Division of Water Quality, with the specific name of the project or applicant identified, should be stapled to the front of the application package. For more information, see the DWQ website at http://h2o.ehnr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/fees.html. The fee must be attached with the application unless the applicant is a federal agency in which case the check may be issued from a separate office. In such cases, the project must be identifiable on the U.S. Treasury check so that it can be credited to the appropriate project. If written approval is sought solely for Buffer Rules, the application fee does not apply, and the applicant should clearly state (in a cover letter) that only Buffer Rule approval is sought in writing. Wetlands or waters of the U.S. may not be impacted prior to issuance or waiver of a Section 401 Water Quality Certification. Upon receipt of a complete application fora 401 Certification, the Division of Water Quality has 60 days to prepare a written response to the applicant. This may include a 401 Certification, an on-hold letter pending receipt of additional requested information, or denial.

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 offsite), 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. The restoration plan is attached. The plan indicates the conservation easement acquired by the state, plan views, cross section view and proposed method of enhancement and restoration. 2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration Program (NCWRP) with the NCWRP's written agreement. Check the box indicating that you would like to pay into the NCWRP. Please note that payment into the NCWRP must be reviewed and approved before it can be used to satisfy mitigation requirements. Applicants will be notified early in the review process by the 401/Wetlands Unit if payment into the NCWRP is available as an option. For additional information regarding the application process for the NCWRP, check the NCWRP website at http://h2o.enrstate.nc.us/wr~!index.htm.
