401 Water Quality Certification

Dear Colleen Cohn,
After review of the submitted permit application for the subject project, received September 29, 2022, and RGP 80
corresponding WQC, 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. 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 January 27, 2023.
Dear Michele Swart: 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.
