Dear Ric Rojas,
This correspondence is in response to a Pre -Construction Notification (PCN) received on February 13, 2024 and
considered complete on March 22, 2024. In submitting the PCN, you requested verification that the proposed project is
authorized by a Department of the Army (DA) Nationwide Permit (NWP).
The work affecting waters of the United States is part of an overall project known as the Weldon Subdivision. The
activities in waters of the United States include the permanent discharge of fill material into 0.044 acre of wetland
waters, the permanent discharge of fill material into 170 linear feet of stream waters (0.019 ac) considered a loss and
permanent discharge of fill material into 91 linear feet (0.009 ac) of stream waters no considered a loss. Additionally,
the project involves the temporary discharge of fill material into 74 linear feet (0.012 ac) of stream waters. The
project is located 0.10 mile directly northwest of the intersection of Lucus Road and Horton Road in Knightdale Wake
County, North Carolina. The project is at Wake County Parcel number 1755757607.
This letter is a provisional notification that your proposed project has been reviewed under NWP 29 and 18. In
accordance with 40 CFR Part 121 (401 Rule), the Corps cannot take final action on the NWP verification request until the
procedures outlined in the 401 Rule for an individual Water Quality Certificate (WQC) have been completed. Specifically,
a Department of the Army (DA) permit or verification cannot be issued until a Section 401 WQC has been either issued,
waived, or denied, and the neighboring jurisdiction review process described in 40 CFR 121 has been successfully
completed.
Conditions of the Individual Section 401 WQC will generally become conditions of any final NWP verification letter.
Should state action on the required WQC approve a project different from that shown on the current application, a
modification to the PCN will be required. You should notify our office of any such changes as substantial changes may
require further evaluation.
As stated above, this is a provisional notification. This letter 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 law and subject you to further enforcement action.
Receipt of a certification from the state (e.g., NC Division of Water Resources and/or NC Division of Marine Fisheries)
does not preclude the requirement for obtaining DA authorization (e.g., an NWP verification letter) prior to commencing
the work.
In all future correspondence, please refer to file number SAW-2022-01734. This correspondence has also been copied to
State and/or Federal agencies for their information. If you have any questions, please contact Matthew K. Martin at
[phone], or by email at [e-mail].
Sincerely,
