Thank you for the PCN received via email from Three Oaks Engineering, dated 8/31/2022. Please also reference the
letter from US Fish and Wildlife Service, dated 8/15/2022, confirming findings of "may affect, not likely to adversely
affect" for James Spinymussel and Atlantic Pigtoe. Further, reference the letters sent to the Catawba and Monacan
Indian Nations, dated 8/30/2022, referencing earlier coordination letters dated 1/25/2022. Given the demonstration of
compliance with Nationwide Permit General Conditions 17, 18, and 20 (the geotechnical borings as described in the PCN
will not affect the historic bridge), the above referenced bridge replacement project is authorized under Nationwide
Permit (NWP) 6 and does not require further notification. Attached is a copy of the NWP 6 and the applicable permit
conditions. Please note that the project must be accomplished in strict accordance with the attached conditions and
your submitted description, and any violation of the attached conditions or deviation from your submitted description
may subject the permittee to a stop work order, a restoration order and/or appropriate legal action. The Action
Identification Number for this project is SAW-2022-01996.
Note that NCDOT is still responsible for the following condition pertaining to the Northern long-eared bat, as this project
occurs in NCDOT Divisions 1-8:
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's (USFWS's) Programmatic Biological Opinion (PBO) titled, "NCDOT Program Effects on
the Northern Long-eared Bat in Divisions 1-8'; dated November 6, 2020, contains agreed upon conservation measures for
the NLEB. As noted in the PBO, applicability of these conservation measures varies depending on the location of the
project. Your authorization under this Department of the Army permit is conditional upon your compliance with all
applicable agreed upon conservation measures in the PBO, which are incorporated by reference in this permit. Failure to
comply with the applicable these conservation measures would constitute non-compliance with your Department of the
Army permit. The USFWS is the appropriate authority to determine compliance with the terms and conditions of its PBO,
and with the ESA.
Please let me know if you have any questions regarding the above information.
Sincerely,
Dave Bailey
