SPECIAL CONDITIONS
All work must be performed in strict compliance with (a) the description of work in the PCN
and (b) the Wetlands and Surface Water Impact Permit Drawing(s) (Permit Plans) in the
application dated April 3, 2020. Any modification to the description of work and/or the
permit plans must be approved by the USACE prior to implementation.
2. The permittee shall require its contractors and/or agents to comply with the terms and
conditions of this authorization letter in the construction and maintenance of this project and
shall provide each of its contractors and/or agents associated with the construction or
maintenance of this project with a copy of this authorization letter, all conditions, and any
authorized modifications. A copy of this authorization letter, all conditions, and any
authorized modifications, shall be available at the project site during construction and
maintenance of this project.
3. The Wilmington District, Federal Highway Administration, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
(USFWS), and the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) have conducted
programmatic Section 7(a)(2) consultation for the Northern long-eared bat (NLEB) for
NCDOT projects located in Divisions 1-8. The result of this programmatic consultation is a
Programmatic Biological Opinion (PBO) issued by the USFWS titled, "Programmatic
Biological Opinion — Revised, NCDOT Program Effects on the Northern Long-eared Bat in
Divisions 1-8", dated December 15, 2022. This PBO contains agreed upon conservation
measures which would minimize take of NLEB. As noted in the PBO, applicability of these
conservation measures varies depending on the location of the project. The USFWS has
documented that no reasonable and prudent measures, nor terms and conditions, are
necessary or appropriate to minimize the amount or extent of incidental take of NLEB
caused by the Action; therefore, the incidental take statement does not provide reasonable
and prudent measures for this species. Department of the Army (DA) authorization under
general permit or standard permit (Individual Permit) is conditional upon the permittee's
compliance with applicable, agreed upon conservations measures of the PBO, which is
incorporated by reference in this verification letter. Failure to comply with the applicable
conservation measures, where a take of the NLEB occurs, would constitute an
unauthorized take by the permittee, and would also constitute permittee non-compliance
with this (choose one) *verification letter* *permit*. The USFWS is the appropriate authority
to determine compliance with the terms and conditions of its PBO and the ESA. All PBOs
can be found on our website at: https://www.saw.usace.army.miI/Missions/Regulatory-
