Good morning Sue,
After review of the submitted permit application for the subject project dated June 30, 2022, additional information
received on July 27, 2022, and NWP 29 WQC (https://saw-reg.usace.army.mil/NWP2021/NWP29 StateWQC.pdf) dated
December 18, 2020, it appears that an individual 401 water quality certification (WQC) is required from the NCDWR for
the proposed activities. The ePCN received by our office provided the 9 required elements for an individual WQC. This
permit application/ePCN, constitutes the Corps initial receipt of the 401 WQC application. Unless NCDWR is granted a
time review extension, a waiver will be deemed to occur if the NCDWR fails to act on this request for certification within
120 days from the date of the complete 401 request. Given additional information was required in order to determine
the full extent of the impacts, the federally complete date for the above referenced project was July 27, 2022. The
reasonable period of time (RPOT) for you to act on this WQC request is 120 calendar days. The date upon which the
waiver will occur if you fail or refuse to act on the certification is November 24, 2022.
Dear David: Please note, should we finalize our review prior to receiving the 401 WQC, you will receive a provisional
general permit verification from the Corps. Once a 401 WQC is issued or waived by the DWR, the Corps will provide you
with a final general permit verification. Your proposed work shall not commence until after the 401 WQC has been
issued or waived AND until a final general permit verification has been provided to you.
Best Regards
