Dear Colleen Cohn,
After review of the submitted permit application for DENC Person County Pipeline, received March 3, 2022, and
Nationwide Permit 12 Water Quality General Certification (GC) No. 4244, 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 60 days from the date of
the complete 401 request. The reasonable period of time (RPOT) for you to act on this WQC request is 60 calendar days.
The date upon which the waiver will occur if you fail or refuse to act on the certification is May 2, 2022.
Joey Lawler: 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.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you,
April Norton
