Do not click links or open attachments unless verified. Report suspicious emails with the Report Message button located on your Outlook menu bar on the Home tab. ALCON, 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: a. 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 of this species in the Federal Register. Work associated with the aforementioned activities not completed by that time must cease and the permittee must contact Laura Meyer of the Corps at (919) 634-1595 or laura.i.meyer@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. Thank you, Laura Laura J.
