All,
Thank you for your PCN, dated 6/22/2022, for the above referenced project. I have reviewed the information and need
clarification before proceeding with verifying the use of Nationwide Permit (NWP) 39 (https://saw-
reg.upace.army.mil/NWP2021/NWP39.pdf). Please submit the requested information below (via e-mail is fine) within 30
days of receipt of this Notification, otherwise we may deny verification of the use of the Nationwide Permit or consider
your application withdrawn and close the file:
1) Based on proposed grading and re-routing of drainage directly to the north of Wetland 1 and the origin of
Stream 1 into a stormwater pond, the project appears to eliminate/reduce the drainage area/hydrology source
for the upper part of Wetland 1 and Stream 1. Unless otherwise justified, the Corps would consider the upper
part (see attached marked -up "Environmental Impact Map") of Wetland 1 (0.46 acre) and Stream 1 (-0.011 acre
[154 linear feet]) as reasonably foreseeable indirect impacts (see NWP General Conditions "District Engineers
Decision") resulting from a reduction of hydrology. Unless otherwise justified, compensatory mitigation would
be required for the reasonably foreseeable indirect impacts resulting in a loss of hydrology and therefore
aquatic function; compensatory mitigation is typically required at a 1:1 ratio, depending largely on resource
quality (reference the NCWAM score of "High" for this wetland). You may also redesign aspects of the project to
ensure surface or subsurface drainage reaches this portion of the wetland/stream complex for our review,
offering specific information to justify that these areas will retain their current aquatic function;
2) A small area of wetland fill shown on the plans and related to proposed parking for "Area A" (included on
marked -up "Environmental Impact Map") does not appear to be included or accounted for in the PCN as an
impact or in consideration of compensatory mitigation. Please revise the plan to remove this fill, or update the
PCN, plans and compensatory mitigation proposal accordingly;
3) Please ensure that appropriate construction access space is accounted for on the project plans to allow for
installation of fill slopes, retaining walls, and associated sediment and erosion control features, especially in the
several areas where these items would be placed directly along wetland boundaries. Any temporary wetland
impacts should be accounted for on the plans and PCN, including specific restoration plans to restore these
areas to functional wetlands following construction;
4) Please provide a profile view of the proposed culvert extension stream impact, overlaid on the elevation of the
existing stream channel bottom.
5) Please provide a filled out Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination (PJD) form (see attached) for this project to
support your PJD request from 10/5/2021, with a signature above the section that states "Signature and date of
person requesting PJD (REQUIRED, unless obtaining the signature is impracticable)."

1) The Corps of Engineers believes that there may be jurisdictional aquatic resources in
the review area, and the requestor of this PJD is hereby advised of his or her option
to request and obtain an approved JD (AJD) for that review area based on an
informed decision after having discussed the various types of JDs and their
characteristics and circumstances when they may be appropriate.
2) In any circumstance where a permit applicant obtains an individual permit, or a
Nationwide General Permit (NWP) or other general permit verification requiring "pre -
construction notification" (PCN), or requests verification for a non -reporting NWP or
other general permit, and the permit applicant has not requested an AJD for the
activity, the permit applicant is hereby made aware that: (1) the permit applicant has
elected to seek a permit authorization based on a PJD, which does not make an
official determination of jurisdictional aquatic resources; (2) the applicant has the
option to request an AJD before accepting the terms and conditions of the permit
authorization, and that basing a permit authorization on an AJD could possibly result
in less compensatory mitigation being required or different special conditions; (3) the
applicant has the right to request an individual permit rather than accepting the terms
and conditions of the NWP or other general permit authorization; (4) the applicant can
accept a permit authorization and thereby agree to comply with all the terms and
conditions of that permit, including whatever mitigation requirements the Corps has
determined to be necessary; (5) undertaking any activity in reliance upon the subject
permit authorization without requesting an AJD constitutes the applicant's acceptance
of the use of the PJD; (6) accepting a permit authorization (e.g., signing a proffered
individual permit) or undertaking any activity in reliance on any form of Corps permit
authorization based on a PJD constitutes agreement that all aquatic resources in the
review area affected in any way by that activity will be treated as jurisdictional, and
waives any challenge to such jurisdiction in any administrative or judicial compliance
or enforcement action, or in any administrative appeal or in any Federal court; and (7)
whether the applicant elects to use either an AJD or a PJD, the JD will be processed
as soon as practicable. Further, an AJD, a proffered individual permit (and all terms
and conditions contained therein), or individual permit denial can be administratively
appealed pursuant to 33 C.F.R. Part 331. If, during an administrative appeal, it
becomes appropriate to make an official determination whether geographic
jurisdiction exists over aquatic resources in the review area, or to provide an official
delineation of jurisdictional aquatic resources in the review area, the Corps will
provide an AJD to accomplish that result, as soon as is practicable. This PJD finds
that there "may be"waters of the U.S. and/or that there "may be" navigable waters of
the U.S. on the subject review area, and identifies all aquatic features in the review
area that could be affected by the proposed activity, based on the following
information:
