The proposed project involves the discharge of 70 cubic yards of clean fill (Class B rip rap) into 1,584 square feet (0.036 acre) of the Roanoke River. Please be advised that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) is prepared to take final action on the application; however, by Federal law we can take no final action until the North Carolina Division of Water Resources (NCDWR) issues a Section 401 Water Quality Certification (WQC). As of the date of this letter, we have no written indication that NCDWR has issued a certification for the work. Once NCDWR has issued or waived the required authorization, you must provide us with a copy. Upon receipt, final action on the Department of the Army permit application will be taken providing there have been no significant changes in the Corps' evaluation policies during that period or any significant project modifications. Conditions of NCDWR's WQC will become conditions to any final Department of the Army permit, Should their action on the required certification approve a project different from that shown on the current application, a modification to the application will be required. Please notify us when you submit copies of the NCDWR WQC of any such changes. Substantial changes may require a new permit evaluation process, including issuance of a new public notice. Please be advised that if NCDWR denies the required WQC, then the federal permit will be denied without prejudice. If you should subsequently obtain the NCDWR WQC, you should contact this office to determine how to proceed with your permit application. You are cautioned that this is NOT a final action. Commencement of the work prior to Department of the Armv final authorization would constitute a violation of Federal laws, and subiect vou to further enforcement action. In addition, receipt of NCDWR's WOC does not obviate the requirement for obtaining a final Department of the-Armv permit prior to commencing the work. Any questions concerning the application should be directed to Craig Brown, Regulatory Specialist, 919-554-4884 ext 35. Sincerely, 1pean B.
