Anna Priest,
The Corps has received (October 17) and reviewed the submitted Pre -Construction Notification (PCN) application and
supporting documents for the Rivercane industrial development project at 101 Mills Gap Road (PIN 9663-11-7979) in
Fletcher, Henderson County, NC. Coordinates are 35.43591 N, 82.48674 W. The PCN request utilization of Nationwide
Permits (NWP) 12 and 18 for authorization of 190 linear feet of proposed stream impacts and 0.09 acres of proposed
wetland impacts.
After review of the submitted PCN and supporting documents the Corps has the following comments and request for
additional information.
1) After review the submitted documents and project plans, the Corps can authorize proposed stream impact S4 under
NWP 12. All other proposed impacts may be authorized under NWP 18. The proposed volume of fill in waters of U.S.
(WoUS) for stream impact S2 is 14.3 cubic yards. Please provide the proposed volume of fill in WoUS for impacts S1 and
S3.
2) As proposed, the total permanent impacts to WoUS resulting in a loss of WoUS is 0.104 acres (0.09 acres of wetlands
+ 0.014 acres of stream). Under NWP 18 the discharge will not cause the loss of more than 1/10 an acre of WoUS. The
proposed impacts to be authorized under NWP 18 do not meet the terms of this NWP. You should redesign the project
to meet the terms NWP 18 or withdraw this request and resubmit the project under another NWP or resubmit the
project under an Individual Permit.
Please copy Andrew Moore with NC Department of Environment Quality, Division of Water Resources on your response
to this request. At this time, the request to utilize NWP 18 for authorization of impacts to WoUS for this project is on
hold until the above noted information is submitted. Once the Corps receives the information listed above we will be
able to continue to process your application. If you have any questions please contact me.
Sincerely,
