Dear Mr./Ms. Klein:
This letter is in response to the Pre -Construction Notification (PCN) you submitted to
the Wilmington District, Is a Section 401 WQC required, and if so, has the certification
been issued, waived or presumed? on August 17, 2023, for a Department of the Army
Nationwide permit (NWP) verification. This project has been assigned the file number
SAW-2023-01676 and is known as 714 Saint Cloud Drive Streambank Stabilization.
This file number should be referenced in all correspondence concerning this project.
A review of the information provided indicates that the proposed work would include
the stabilization of 245 linear feet of stream bank, within which a 120-foot-long
unauthorized cinderblock wall would be removed. The project area for this
determination includes approximately 0.5 acre. The project/review area is located on the
west side of Saint Cloud Drive, 0.06 mile south of its intersection with Linville Road, at
Latitude 35.789262 and Longitude-80.811234-1 in Statesville, Iredell County, North
Carolina.
We have determined that the proposed work is authorized by after -the -fact use of
NWP 13 pursuant to authorities under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. §
1344) and Section 14 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C. § 408). The
proposed work must be accomplished in strict accordance with the general permit
conditions, any regional conditions, the special conditions listed in this letter, the
application materials, and the enclosed plans "Proposed Streambank Stabilization
Plan". If the extent of the project area and/or nature of the authorized impacts to waters
are modified, a revised PCN must be submitted to this office for written approval before
work is initiated. Any violation of permit conditions or deviation from your submitted
plans may subject the permittee to enforcement action.

This verification is valid until March 14, 2026, unless prior to this date the subject
NWP(s) is suspended, revoked, or is modified such that the activity no longer complies
with the terms and conditions of this NWP. If you commence or are under contract to
commence this activity before the date that the relevant NWP is modified or revoked,
you will have 12 months from the date of the modification or revocation of the NWP to
complete the activity under the present terms and conditions of this NWP.
Project Specific Special Conditions:
The information provided indicates that suitable forage and/or roosting habitat for the proposed
endangered tricolored bat (Perimyotis subflavus) may occur within the proposed action area. To avoid
impacts to this species, we highly encourage project proponents to accomplish any necessary tree
clearing outside of the "active season" for this animal. The active season for tricolored bat occurs during
the warmer time of year from April 1— October 15. Although this species is not currently afforded legal
protection under Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act (ESA), this impact minimization measure
would support our concurrence with a "may affect, not likely to adversely affect" determination from
the appropriate action agency should this species become listed in the future. If the proposed action
would not affect suitable habitat for this animal, we would not object to a "no effect" determination
from the appropriate action agency.
For activities occurring within the twenty coastal counties subject to regulation under
the Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA), prior to beginning work you must contact
the N.C. Division of Coastal Management in Wilmington, NC, at [phone].
This NWP verification does not preclude the necessity to obtain any other Federal,
State, or local permits, licenses, and/or certifications, which may be required.

If you have any questions related to this verification or have issues accessing
documents referenced in this letter, please contact Christopher Hopper, Team Leader /
Wilmington District Liaison at 919-855-9153, by mail at

1. Remove backfill and masonry block wall carefully. Avoid over excavation during removal of wall.
2. Do not excavate beneath the bottom of the current channel.
3. Any holes or voids created by removal of the concrete footer should be backfilled with riprap and smaller stone to eliminate any voids.
4. Establish new toe slope based on up and downgradient reference reaches.
5. Lay the slopes back as much as possible. A 2:1 slope is preferred.
6. Over excavate the bank so that the channel maintains its up and downstream widths.
7. Ensure that the stream channel is not choked after placement of riprap material. The toe slope after placement of riprap should be
consistent with the up and downgradient toe slope.
8. Install riprap on sloping bank. Placement of fabric beneath riprap is not recommended.
9. Use large stone on bottom (See Example Photograph 1).
10. Chink voids within riprap using smaller stone (See Example Photograph 2). Ensure that all voids are filled.
11. Seed, straw, mat and revegetate areas disturbed by grading activities (See Example Photograph 3). Installation of trees and shrubs is
recommended.
