Thanks Dave.
This is an interchange improvement, so we will be using RGP 50.

Ryan,
What other information is needed?

Thank you

Hi all. Apologies for the delay in my response. I’ve been out of the office and am struggling to catch up. If the project
would fit the description/thresholds of RGP 50 (https://saw-reg.usace.army.mil/RGP/RGP50.pdf) NCDOT has typically
chosen to purse RGP 50 vs. NWP 14, particularly given the changes with the 401 requirements for NWP 14 with the
latest renewal. RGP 50 can generally authorize the following activities for NCDOT projects:
a. (1) Road widening, and/or (2) construction, maintenance, and/or repair of bridges. For bridge projects, work can
include the approaches.
1

b. (1) Improvement of interchanges or intersections, or (2) construction of interchanges or intersections over, or on,
existing roads.

Make sure you read the full description on pg. 1 and 2 of the terms and conditions linked above.

Ray, you and NCDOT as the applicant will need to confirm which permit you’re pursuing based on the above. The Corps
has no particular preference if the project would fit either permit. Ryan Conchilla (NCDWR) could better advise you of
401 requirements for each, but my understanding is that an Individual 401 WQC would be required if you requested use
of NWP 14, and Water Quality General Cert # 4135 would apply if you requested use of RGP 50 (if it fits, per the above).

Hopefully this helps.

-Dave Bailey

Hello Ryan and Dave
I’m following back to this.
Dave, please advise on the permit type you would prefer to use for this project - NWP14 or RGP 50. Total stream loss is
234 feet. Total wetland loss is <.01 acres.
Please let me know if anything else is needed from our end. We’d like to get this resolved as soon as we can to keep the
project moving.

Thanks

Hi Ryan
My copy of the permit application has a dated signature (attached), not sure why it wasn’t on the one you received.
Please let me know if anything else is needed.
I’m copying Dave here so that he can weigh in on the type 404 permit required or this project – NWP14 or RGP 50. Total
stream loss is 234 feet. Total wetland loss is <.01 acres. Dave, please advise.
Thank you

Hi Ray,
The PCN submitted on 5-9-22 was incomplete, the heading on page one appears to be blank as well as the signature
page, listing a date of 1-11-22.
If the USACE has reached a decision regarding the NWP 14 or GP 50 selection for the project, please forward that
information.
Thanks-

I’m a little confused what you mean here though. Could you clarify a bit – what is USACE confirming and is something
missing from our end?
Thanks
