Messrs. Pottern and Spencer,
This is a provisional general permit verification for the above referenced project. Your proposed work may be authorized
by the above referenced general permit provided a 401 Certification is issued or waived. Once a 401 Certification is
issued or waived, the Corps will provide you with a final general permit verification. Your proposed work shall not
commence until after the 401 Certification has been issued or waived AND until a final general permit verification has
been provided to you. Additional special conditions may be added to the final general permit verification, including the
following:
1) Per the letter and attachment from Mogenson Mitigation, Inc. dated 12/17/2019, sediment disposal for the High
Point Upper Piedmont Lake (Piedmont Parkway) dredging project will occur outside of waters of the US at the
City of High Point Kersey Valley Landfill (Solid Waste Management Facility Permit No. 4104-MSWLF-1991).
North Carolina Division of Water Resources (NCDWR): After review of the submitted Pre -Construction Notification
(PCN) for the above referenced project, dated 5/4/2022, and Nationwide Permit (NWP) 39 Water Quality General
Certification No. 4263, dated December 18, 2020 (https://saw-reg.usace.army.mil/NWP2021/NWP39 StateWQC.pdf), it
appears an Individual 401 Water Quality Certification (WQC) is required from the NCDWR for the proposed activities.
The PCN received by our office appears to have provided the 9 required elements for an individual WQC and constitutes
the Corps initial receipt of the WQC application. The reasonable period of time (RPOT) for you to act on this WQC
request is 120 calendar days from the date of the complete WQC request. Unless NCDWR is granted a time review
extension, the date upon which a waiver of the WQC will occur if you do not act on the certification is 9/1/2022.
Please let me know if you have any questions regarding this provisional verification, RPOT, or the Corps of Engineers
regulatory program.
Sincerely,
Dave Bailey
