No. U-4714AB, Debit $570.00 from WBS 43609.3.2.

References: 1) Section 404 Regional General Permit No. 198200031, Action ID

Certification No. WQC 4135, NCDWR Project No. 20191245, issued November

Dear Sir:

The purpose of this letter is to request renewal of the existing Regional General Permit SAW-
198200031 (RGP 31) under Regional General Permit SAW-2019-02350 (RGP 50) and North
Carolina Division of Water Resources (NCDWR) Section 401 Water Quality Certification (WQC).

The North Carolina Department of Transportation was issued a Clean Water Act Section 404
Regional General Permit 198200031 (RGP 31) from the USACE on October 7, 2019 for the above-
referenced project. The project is still under construction and is not expected to be completed prior
to April 30, 2021. Therefore, NCDOT requests renewal of the permit under Regional General
Permit SAW-2019-02350 (RGP 50).

NCDOT was also issued a Section 401 Water Quality Certification No. 4135 from NCDWR on
November 15, 2019. Therefore, a renewal of the NCDWR Section 401 WQC will also be needed.

No changes have occurred to the design or special commitments for this project.

NCDOT requests to renew the permit for this project. Application is hereby made for renewal of the
USACE 404 permit and the 401 WQC from NCDWR. We have provided a method of debiting
$570.00 to be submitted to the NCDWR for processing the WQC renewal for U-4714AB, as noted
in the subject line of this application.
