GENERAL PERMIT (REGIONAL AND NATIONWIDE) VERIFICATION
Permittee: 280 Holding Group, LLC / Attn: Tim Lantz
Address: 283 Holly Haven Court
Mills River, North Carolina 28759
Telephone Number: (419)438-0698
Location description: The proposed project area is located at 4794 Boylston Highway in Mills River, Henderson
County, North Carolina, at an approximate latitude of 35.3849 and longitude of -82.5690. According to the
Henderson County Assessor's Office, the site is identified as PIN 9631640262.
Description of projects area and activity: The proposed project consists of the construction of a commercial
development and the associated attendant features. In order to achieve the proposed project purpose, approximately
386 linear feet (0.022-acre) of an intermittent channel would be culverted.
Applicable Law: ® Section 404 (Clean Water Act, 33 USC 1344)
❑ Section 10 (Rivers and Harbors Act, 33 USC 403)
Authorization: Regional General Permit Number or Nationwide Permit Number: Nationwide Permit 39-
SEE ATTACHED RGP or NWP GENERAL, REGIONAL AND SPECIAL CONDITIONS
Special Conditions: To offset the impacts to 386 linear feet of channel, 193 units of cold -water preservation credits
shall be purchased from the Tarkilin Branch Mitigation Site. Documentation of this credit purchase shall be provided
to this office prior to January 31, 2023.
Notes: Per a letter from the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NC WRC) dated November 16, 2022, the
following recommendations were provided to further reduce effect to wildlife resources:
1. Due the importance of the Mills River, which supports state and federally listed species, it is extremely important to use
excellent erosion and sediment control on site. NC WRC requests that the applicant use sediment and erosion control
practices outlined in the Design Standards in Sensitive Watersheds (15A NCAC 4B .0124). NC WRC asks that
disturbed areas be stabilized on a tight timeframe to minimize risk of sediment loss, namely, the disturbed areas be
seeded, mulched and/or matted as soon as possible, preferably at the end of each work day. At a minimum, disturbed
areas should be stabilized within five working days or seven calendar days, whichever is shorter.
2. Any erosion control matting used should be free of nylon or plastic mesh, as this type of mesh netting frequently
entangles wildlife and is slow to degrade, resulting in a hazard that may last for years.
3. Maintain open space areas with native vegetation and maintain the undeveloped areas as a forested green space.
Your work is authorized by the above referenced permit provided it is accomplished in strict accordance with the
attached conditions, above noted special conditions, and your submitted application and attached information dated
October 19, 2022 and subsequent information provided on December 9, 2022. Any violation of the attached
conditions or deviation from your submitted plans may subject the permittee to a stop work order, a restoration
order, a Class I administrative penalty, and/or appropriate legal action.
This verification will remain valid until the expiration date identified below unless the nationwide/regional authorization is
modified, suspended or revoked. If, prior to the expiration date identified below, the nationwide/regional permit
authorization is reissued and/or modified, this verification will remain valid until the expiration date identified below,
provided it complies with all requirements of the modified nationwide/regional permit. If the nationwide/regional permit
authorization expires or is suspended, revoked, or is modified, such that the activity would no longer comply with the
terms and conditions of the nationwide/regional permit, activities which have commenced (i.e., are under construction) or
are under contract to commence in reliance upon the nationwide/regional permit, will remain authorized provided the activity
is completed within twelve months of the date of the nationwide/regional permit's expiration, modification or revocation,
unless discretionary authority has been exercised on a case -by -case basis to modify, suspend or revoke the authorization.
Activities subject to Section 404 (as indicated above) may also require an individual Section 401 Water Quality
Certification. You should contact the NC Division of Water Resources (telephone 919-807-6300) to determine Section 401
requirements.
For activities occurring within the twenty coastal counties subject to regulation under the Coastal Area Management Act
(CAMA), prior to beginning work you must contact the N.C. Division of Coastal Management.
This Department of the Army verification does not relieve the permittee of the responsibility to obtain any other required
Federal, State or local approvals/permits.
If there are any questions regarding this verification, any of the conditions of the Permit, or the Corps of Engineers regulatory
program, please contact Brooke Davis at 828-271-7980, ext. 4232 or brooke.a.davis@usace.army.mil.

be provided to the appropriate Mitigation Sponsors.
Instructions to Sponsor: The Sponsor verifies that the mitigation requirements (credits) shown below have been released
and are available at the identified site. By signing below, the Sponsor is accepting full responsibility for the identified

must update the bank ledger and provide a copy of the signed form and the updated ledger to the Permittee, the Project
Manager who issued the permit, the Bank Project Manager, and the District Mitigation Office (see contact information on

Compensatory Mitigation Responsibility Transfer Form, Page 2
Conditions for Transfer of Compensatory Mitigation Credit:
• Once this document has been signed by the Mitigation Sponsor and the District is in receipt of the signed form, the
Permittee is no longer responsible for providing the mitigation identified in this form, though the Permittee remains
responsible for any other mitigation requirements stated in the permit conditions.
• Construction within jurisdictional areas authorized by the permit identified on page one of this form can begin only after
the District is in receipt of a copy of this document signed by the Sponsor, confirming that the Sponsor has accepted
responsibility for providing the mitigation requirements listed herein. When NCDMS provides mitigation for authorized
impacts conducted by the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT), construction within jurisdictional areas
may proceed upon permit issuance; however, a copy of this form signed by NCDMS must be provided to the District
within 30 days of permit issuance. NCDOT remains fully responsible for the mitigation until the District has received this
form, confirming that the Sponsor has accepted responsibility for providing the mitigation requirements listed herein.

records for both the permit and the Bank/ILF Instrument. It is the Permittee's responsibility to ensure that the District
Project Manager (address below) is provided with a signed copy of this form.

the District, the Sponsor must obtain case -by -case approval from the District Project Manager and/or North Carolina
Interagency Review Team (NCIRT). If approved, higher mitigation ratios may be applied, as per current District guidance
and a new version of this form must be completed and included in the District administrative records for both the permit
and the Bank/ILF Instrument.
