Subject: [Non-DoD Source] Public Notice SAW-2015-00471 epa response.
Christopher,
The EPA Region 4 Ocean, Wetlands and Streams Protection Branch has reviewed the subject Individual
Permit Public Notice under DA Action ID SAW-2015-00471 dated November 2, 2022. It is our understanding
that the applicant, Novo Nordisk Pharmaceutical Industries, LP, is seeking Department of the Army
authorization to permanently impact 1,642 linear feet (If) of stream channel (0.23 acre (ac)) and 0.83 ac of
wetlands, associated with the expansion of production, packaging, and warehousing at their existing facility,
east of Clayton, in Johnston County, North Carolina.
According to the Public Notice, Applicant's Stated Purpose, and Project Description, the basic purpose of the
proposed project is to expand production, packaging, and warehousing facilities at their longest -standing
injectable finished products facility in the United States (US) to meet current and future demand
for the production of insulin and other pharmaceutical products while ensuring stock of both in -process and
final product are maintained for their life-saving medicines.
The applicant has minimized direct impacts to the stream on the northern property line. Tributary 1, totaling
approximately 2, 000 If, would be avoided during the expansion contemplated at this time. Indirect impacts to
surface waters would be minimized through a stormwater management program.
The applicant proposes to compensate for 1,642 If of permanent streambed loss due to construction at a 2:1
mitigation ratio, and 0.83 acre of riparian wetland loss of forested wetlands at a 2:1 mitigation ratio.
Specifically, stream mitigation credits would be satisfied through purchasing credits from Restoration System's
Milburnie Dam Mitigation Bank and wetlands mitigation credits would be satisfied at Wildlands Holding's Falling
Creek Umbrella Mitigation Bank. Mitigation needs that are not met by commercial providers would be satisfied
through the Division of Mitigation Services.
At this time, EPA Region 4 has no site -specific comments or concerns with the project as presented in the
Public Notice.
Thank you for the opportunity to provide feedback on DA Action I D SAW-2015-00471 to permanently impact
1,642 linear feet of stream channel and 0.83 ac of wetlands, associated with the expansion of production,
packaging, and warehousing at their existing facility, east of Clayton, in Johnston County, North Carolina.

Todd Bowers
