8/19/2019, and 8/21/2019 attached, which are authorized by this permit. Any modification
to the authorized permit plans must be approved by the USACE prior to implementation.
2. Failure to institute and carry out the details of the following special conditions, below,
will result in a directive to cease all ongoing and permitted work within waters and/or
wetlands associated with the permitted project, or such other remedies and/or fines as the
District Engineer or his authorized representatives may seek.
3. The permittee will ensure that the construction design plans for this project do not
deviate from the authorized permit plans. Any deviation in the construction design plans
will be brought to the attention of the Corps of Engineers, Wilmington Regulatory Field
Office prior to any active construction in waters or wetlands.
4. The permittee shall require its contractors and/or agents to comply with the terms and
conditions of this permit in the construction and maintenance of this project, and shall
provide each of its contractors and/or agents associated with the construction or
maintenance of this project with a copy of this permit, and any authorized modifications.
A copy of this permit including the authorized plans referenced in Special Condition (1)
and authorized modifications, including all conditions, shall be available at the project site
during construction and maintenance of this project.
5. Except as authorized by this permit or any USACE approved modification to this
permit, no excavation, fill, or mechanized land -clearing activities shall take place at any
time in the construction or maintenance of this project, within waters or wetlands, or shall
any activities take place that cause the degradation of waters or wetlands. In addition,
except as specified in the plans attached to this permit, no excavation, fill or mechanized
land -clearing activities shall take place at any time in the construction or maintenance of
this project, in such a manner as to impair normal flows and circulation patterns within,
into, or out of waters or wetlands or to reduce the reach of waters or wetlands.
This permit does not authorize temporary placement or double handling of excavated or
fill material or construction equipment within waters or wetlands outside the permitted
area.
6. To ensure that all borrow and waste activities occur on high ground and do not result in
the degradation of adjacent wetlands and streams, except as authorized by this permit, the
permittee shall require its contractors and/or agents to identify all areas to be used to
borrow material, or to dispose of dredged, fill, or waste material. The permittee shall
provide the USACE with appropriate maps indicating the locations of proposed borrow or
waste sites as soon as the permittee has that information. The permittee will coordinate
with the USACE before approving any borrow or waste sites that are within 400 feet of any

streams or wetlands. All jurisdictional wetland lines on borrow and waste sites shall be
verified by the Corps of Engineers and shown on the approved reclamation plans. The
permittee shall ensure that all such areas comply with the preceding condition of this
permit, and shall require and maintain documentation of the location and characteristics of
all borrow and disposal sites associated with this project. This information will include
data regarding soils, vegetation and hydrology sufficient to clearly demonstrate compliance
with the preceding condition. All information will be available to the USACE upon
request. NCDOT shall require its contractors to complete and execute reclamation plans
for each waste and borrow site and provide written documentation that the reclamation
plans have been implemented and all work is completed. This documentation will be
provided to the Corps of Engineers within 30 days of the completion of the reclamation
work.
8. This USACE permit does not authorize you to take a threatened or endangered species,
in particular, the Northern Long-eared Bat (NLEB) (Myotis septentrionalis). In order to
legally take a listed species, you must have separate authorization under the Endangered
Species Act (ESA) (e.g., a Biological Opinion (BO) under the ESA, Section 7, with
"incidental take" provisions with which you must comply). The U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service's (USFWS's) Programmatic BO titled "Northern Long-eared Bat (NLEB)
Programmatic Biological Opinion for North
Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) Activities in Eastern North Carolina
(Divisions 1-8)," dated March 25, 2015, and adopted on April 10, 2015, contains mandatory
terms and conditions to implement the reasonable and prudent measures that are
associated with "incidental take" that are specified in the BO. Your authorization under
this USACE permit is conditioned upon your compliance with all the mandatory terms and
conditions (incorporated by reference into this permit) associated with incidental take of
the BO. Failure to comply with the terms and conditions associated with incidental take of
the BO, where a take of the listed species occurs, would constitute an unauthorized take,
and would also constitute non-compliance with your USACE permit. The USFWS is the
appropriate authority to determine compliance with the terms and conditions of its BO and
with the ESA.
