when the work is taking place.
I also request that you coordinate with the appropriate POCs for NCWRC,NCDMF, and

etc.) that may be associated with these projects.The regional condition for NWP 3

from NCDMF or NCWRC and the Corps. Additionally, discharges into Waters of the
US designated as sturgeon spawning areas are prohibitedduring the period between
