Dear Ms. Baker:
This letter is in response to the Pre -Construction Notification (PCN) you submitted to
the Wilmington District, Wilmington Regulatory Field Office on December 15, 2023, for a
Department of the Army Nationwide permit (NWP) verification. This project has been
assigned the file number SAW-2023-00445 and is known as P1584U Parachute Tower
Road Upgrades. This file number should be referenced in all correspondence
concerning this project.
A review of the information provided indicates that the proposed work would include
the replace the and upgrade Parachute Tower Road which requires the impact to 10'
of permanent stream impact for pipe extension, 24' of permanent stream impact
for rip rap (that shall be set to stream bed elevation therefore not a loss of
function), 4' of permanent stream impact for realignment purposes, and 0.006 of
permanent wetland impact. The project area for this determination includes a 7.95
acre(s) area which is illustrated on the enclosed site plans/maps. The project/review
area is located in Beaverdam Creek; along Parachute Tower Road, at Latitude
34.677650 and Longitude-77.340580; in Camp Lejeune, Onslow County, North
Carolina.
We have determined that the proposed work is authorized by Nationwide 14
pursuant to authorities under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.0 § 1344).
The proposed work must be accomplished in strict accordance with the general permit
conditions, any regional conditions, the application materials, and the enclosed plans
entitled Fig 5.0 and 5.1 dated February 2024. If the extent of the project area and/or
nature of the authorized impacts to waters are modified, a revised PCN must be
submitted to this office for written approval before work is initiated. Any violation of
permit conditions or deviation from your submitted plans may subject the permittee to
enforcement action.
Special Conditions:
1. Suitable habitat for tricolored bat (Perimyotis subflavus) may be present at the
site. On September 14, 2022, the USFWS published a proposal in the Federal
Register to list the tricolored bat as endangered under the Endangered Species
Act (ESA). The permittee understands and agrees that all work associated with
the clearing and removal of trees and removal or modification of culverts must be
completed prior to the effective date of the final listing in the Federal
Register. Work associated with the aforementioned activities not completed by
that time must cease and the permittee must contact the Corps' Project Manager,
Brad Shaver to determine if additional coordination with the United States Fish
and Wildlife Service is required under Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act
prior to continuing work.
2. As specified in in the Individual 401 Water Quality Certification (DWR# 20231716)
as well as in Regional Condition 9 of Nationwide 14 attached, placement of
culverts and other structures shall be below the elevation of the streambed by one
foot for all culverts with a diameter greater than 48". The authorized structure is
greater than 48" therefore the one -foot burial must be applied.
3. The permittee will ensure that the construction design plans for this project do not
deviate from the authorized permit plans. Any deviation in the construction design
plans will be brought to the attention of the Corps of Engineers, Wilmington
Regulatory Field Office prior to any active construction in waters or wetlands.
4. The permittee shall require its contractors and/or agents to comply with the terms
and conditions of this permit in the construction and maintenance of this project
and shall provide each of its contractors and/or agents associated with the
construction or maintenance of this project with a copy of this permit, and any
authorized modifications. A copy of this permit including the authorized plans and
conditions, shall be available at the project site during construction and
maintenance of this project.
5. Except as authorized by this permit or any USACE approved modification to this
permit, no excavation, fill, or mechanized land -clearing activities shall take place
at any time in the construction or maintenance of this project, within waters or
wetlands, or shall any activities take place that cause the degradation of waters or
wetlands. In addition, except as specified in the plans attached to this permit, no
excavation, fill or mechanized land -clearing activities shall take place at any time
in the construction or maintenance of this project, in such a manner as to impair
normal flows and circulation patterns within, into, or out of waters or wetlands or to
reduce the reach of waters or wetlands.
6. This permit does not authorize temporary placement or double handling of
excavated or fill material or construction equipment within waters or wetlands
outside the permitted area.
