Hi David,
This is a provisional notification that your proposed work SAW-2023-001500 SCC Watershed 1 Gully 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.
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.
Of note I recommend you pay particular attention to NCWRC Comment # 3:
We strongly recommend incorporating native shrubs into the planted buffer to ensure project success. Golf courses in
other parts of Western NC have incorporated native shrubs into their riparian buffer, regularly trimming the shrubs to
waist height to allow play over. A wide forested buffer can ensure greater bank stability, filter overland pollutants,
and provide
habitat for birds and other wildlife.
