David,
Jerry Parker has asked me to respond to Items 1 and 2 below. Item 1 involves the permit drawings and I have asked
Kayla at RKA to provide these zoomed -in versions to you.
I am attaching information for Item 2. The PCN incorrectly listed American chaffseed in Section G.5, when it should have
been small -whorled pogonia. I have attached the 2019 self -certification along with the email receipt from USFWS. Also
included is the section on small -whorled pogonia from the Final NRTR for U-6018. Prior to the surveys, I talked directly
with Dale Suiter of FWS to narrow down the habitat types that were onsite. The resulting survey did not reveal any
evidence of this species.
Please let me know if you have further questions regarding this issue. Thanks for your assistance.

Thank you for your PCN, dated 8/16/2022, for the above referenced project. I have reviewed the information and need
clarification before proceeding with verifying the use of Regional General Permit (RGP) 50 (https://saw-
reg.usace.army.mil/RGP/RGP50.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application withdrawn and close the file: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) The project plans do not show enough detail to fully evaluate the proposed impacts or facilitate compliance
inspections upon permit issuance. Please provide zoomed -in views of all impact areas at a scale sufficient to
show both permanent and temporary impacts;
2) Section G.5 of the PCN references "detailed habitat assessments and performed surveys for Schweinitz's
sunflower and American chaffseed.... A USFWS Self -Certification was prepared and submitted to USFWS on June
6, 2019"; however, this documentation (survey information and Self -Certification letter) is not provided in the
PCN. Please provide this information to enable the Corps to either make a No Effect determination or facilitate
coordination with the USFWS for listed species in the Action Area. Further, according to USFWS IPaC, the species
listed for this portion of Guilford and Randolph counties includes small whorled pogonia (Isotria medeoloides);
please include the relevant information on that species as well.
3) To provide complete information pertaining to Section G.7 of the PCN, please provide NCDOT's typical historic
properties and archeological resources survey (or no survey required) documents for this project. This
information is necessary for the Corps to either make a No Potential to Effect determination or document that
coordination with the SHPO is complete.
4) Please provide any information documenting tribal coordination completed for this project.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Dave Bailey
