Dear Rick Hester and Linda Diebolt,
A preconstruction notification application (PCN) dated 1212112021 was submitted for the proposed
activities, and revisions to the PCN following our site visit were received on 08/09/2022. Due to
workload, the Corps was unable to provide timely formal written verification for impacts proposed in
your preconstruction notification application.
General Condition number 32, which lists the notification requirements for nationwide permits,
states that "The prospective permittee shall not begin the activity: (1) Until notified in writing ...., or
(2) If 45 calendar days have passed from the district engineer's receipt of the complete PCN and the
prospective permittee has not received written notice from the district or division engineer."
Accordingly, on 09/23/2022, the applicant, Johnston County, was authorized to place fill or dredged
material into waters, associated with the construction of the 201 Wastewater Treatment Facility
Effluent Force Main project, under nationwide permit numbers 58 and 7, as proposed in the permit
application dated 1212112021. I have attached a copy of the applicable permits and their conditions.
The expiration date for the permit verifications is March 15, 2026.
Please note that your work is authorized by the above referenced permit provided it is accomplished
in strict accordance with the permit conditions and your submitted plans (see attached). Any
violation of the conditions or deviation from your submitted plans may subject the permittee to a
stop work order, a restoration order and/or appropriate legal action.
It is your responsibility to contact the North Carolina Division of Water Resources (NCDWR) Raleigh
Regional Office to determine the 401 requirements for this project. Please note that, if an Individual
401 WQC is required from NCDWR, the conditions of the Individual 401 WQC, once issued, are also
conditions of the NWP referenced above. You may not conduct the activity authorized by the above
referenced NWP without a valid 401 Water Quality Certification.
Please let me know if you have any questions regarding this statutory verification, or any of the
conditions of the permit.
