Pre-Construction Notification (PCN) Application Form
For Section 404 and/or Section 10 Nationwide, Regional and General Permits, Section 401
General Water Quality Certifications, and Riparian Buffer and Watershed Buffer Rules
This form is to be used for projects qualifying for any of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' ((JSACE)
Nationwide, Regional or General Permits as required by Section 404 of the Clean Water Act and/or
Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act, and for the North Carolina Division of Water Quality's
(DWQ) associated General 401 Water Quality Certifications. 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 Individual 401
Water Quality Certification. The`USACE Individual Permit application form is available online at
http://www. saw.usace. army. mil/wetlands/Perm?apphtm.
The USACE 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
USACE website at http://www.saw.usace.4=.mil/wetlands/regtour.htm, or contact one of the field
offices listed at the end 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 USACE.
Applicants are encouraged to visit DWQ's 401/Wetlands Unit website at
http://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 some 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 [phone].
Trout Waters Coordination - Special coordination with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources
Commission (NCWRC) is also 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 the last page of this application).
Page 1 of 12
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
designated 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.
USACE 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
(March 9, 2000), available at http://www.saw.usace.army.mil/wetlands/nnfinalFedReg_pdf.
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 USACE
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 for a 401
Certification, then a non-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
for a 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.

VIII. 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.htmi.
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 (acreige/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.

PROJECT NARRATIVE
STREAM CROSSING SUMMARY
COLUMBUS COUNTY
WATER SYSTEM EXTENSIONS - DISTRICT IV
COLUMBUS COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA
PN: E98-255.2
Proiect Description
The scope of this project is water system extensions throughout Columbus County
just east and northeast of %iteville, North Carolina. The project will include
construction of approximately 49,760 LF of 12" ? water main, 114,800 LF of 8"t water
main, 230,600 LF of 6"+ water main, 13,880 LF of 4"+ water main and 8,000 LF of 2"+
water main with appurtenances. In addition, two (2) 250,000 gallon elevated water
storage tanks and two (2) well pump houses are proposed.
The project consists of four contracts. Contracts One and Two consist of water
main extensions, Contract Three will include the two 250,000 gallon elevated water
storage tanks, while Contract IV will include the two well pump houses.
All water main will be constructed entirely within the right of way of existing
NCDOT or local roadways. The total project area is approximately 96 acres.
Stream Crossina Locations
There are three perennial stream crossing locations that will be disturbed by this
project. These streams to be crossed by open cut method are tributary to Slades Swamp,
Troy Mill Branch and the Alligator Branch, which drain into the Lumber River Basin.
There are additional stream crossing locations on this project but none will require open
cut disturbance of the existing stream. The remanung stream crossings will be made
either by directional bore method or by construction within the roadway shoulder,
beneath existing storm drainage at the crossing. These methods will prevent impacts to
the existing stream banks and channels to where no disturbance of the stream will occur.
Stream Crossing #1- Unnamed Tributary to Slades Swamp
Stream Crossing No. 1 is by 6" ? ductile iron water main crossing around existing
twin 30"+ RCP Culverts within the SR 1720 (Jenkins Road) Right of Way. A minimum
of 2.0' cover will be maintained beneath the streambed throughout the crossing.
Location Coordinates: Latitude 34° 26' 06" , Longitude 78° 37' 48"
H.-Mo981E9825521E98255-stream cmaaitlg nar.doc 09/17/02 3:17 PM
Stream Crossing #2 - Unnamed Tributary to Troy Mill Branch
Stream Crossing No. 2 is by 6" ? ductile iron water main crossing around existing
twin 24"+ RCP Culverts within the SR 1703 (Farmers Union Road) Right of Way. A
minimum of 2.0' cover will be maintained beneath the streambed throughout the
crossing.
Location Coordinates: Latitude 34° 25' 12" , Longitude 78° 40' 13"
Stream Crossing #3 - Unnamed Tributary to Alligator Branch
Stream Crossing No. 3 is by 8"+ water main crossing around existing 4' x 3'
Concrete Box Culvert within the NC Hwy 214 Right of Way. A minimum of 2.0' cover
will be maintained beneath the streambed throughout the crossing.
Location Coordinates: Latitude 34° 19' 20" , Longitude 78° 34' 05"
