Hi Rachel,
It appears that this project (DWR# 20231376 CC) was submitted to DWR as a courtesy copy on 9/20/23. After a quick
review, it appears that no DWR notification was needed and they are using the corresponding GC4249 for the NWP18.
Ashley/Katherine — if your project plans were to change or you find that you reached or exceed any of the GC4249
thresholds, please reach out to DWR RRO and we can assist with any permitting questions you may have.
If you need anything else, please let me know.
Thank you,

This is a provisional notification that your proposed work may be authorized by the above referenced general permit
provided a 401 Certification is issued or waived. Once a 401 Certification is issued or waived, the Corps will provide you
with a final general permit verification. Your proposed work shall not commence until after the 401 Certification has

been issued or waived and until a final general permit verification has been provided to you. Additional special
conditions may be added to the final general permit verification:
1. Suitable habitat for tricolored bat (Perimyotis subflavus) may be present at the site. On September 14, 2022,
the USFWS published a proposal in the Federal Register to list the tricolored bat as endangered under the
Endangered Species Act (ESA). The permittee understands and agrees that all work associated with the
clearing and removal of trees and removal or modification of culverts must be completed prior to the effective
date of the final listing in the Federal Register. Work associated with the aforementioned activities not
completed by that time must cease and the permittee must contact the Corps' (Rachel Capito,
Rachel.A.Capitoa-usace.army.mil) to determine if additional coordination with the United States Fish and
Wildlife Service is required under Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act prior to continuing work.
As stated above, this is a provisional notification. This email does NOT provide Department of the Army (DA)
authorization. You are cautioned that commencement of the proposed activity(ies) requested prior to receiving a
written DA authorization would constitute a violation of Federal laws and subject you to further enforcement action.
Receipt of a permit from the state (e.g., NCDWR) does not preclude the requirement for obtaining DA authorization
(e.g., an NWP verification letter) prior to commencing the work.
Please contact me if you have any questions regarding this provisional verification or the Corps of Engineers regulatory
program.
Thanks,
Rachel
