Hi Eric,
DWR typically does not review and provided written concurrence for projects that are submitted as courtesy copy only.
However, as long as none of the thresholds of GC4244 are exceeded and buffer impacts meet all criteria to be covered
under deemed (15 NCAC 0213.0714 (11)(nn)(ii)), then no written authorization is needed from DWR. From a brief look at
the submitted PCN, it appears that you do not need written authorization.
If you find that your project changes or that any thresholds are exceeded/triggered, please reach out to our office for a
401 certification and/or buffer authorization. Please make sure to obtain any other required approvals from local or
federal agencies before work begins.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you,

Hi Zach,
I am forwarding you the response we received from the USACE. They concurred that the proposed project DENC-M-73
Cardinal to NC State University Pipeline Project does not require notification to the Corps. We wanted to reach to ask if
you had the chance to review and make a 401 WQC Determination. We are trying close the loop on environmental
permitting requirements associated with this project. We look forward to your response.
Thank you,
