ALCON,
This correspondence is in response to a Pre -Construction Notification (PCN) received on 2/13/24 and
considered complete on 3/27/24. 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 Shamrock
Valley Development of Phases 5-7. The activities in waters of the United States include the
construction of access/infrastructure for Phases 5-7 of Shamrock Valley Subdivision. The project
involves the permanent discharge of fill material into 0.023-acre of stream channel and the
temporary discharge of fill material into 0.002-acre stream channel. The project is located
approximately 1.5 miles south of 1-40/85 along the south side of Monroe Hold Road just east of
Maple Avenue and west of Lacy Holt Road in Graham, Alamance County, North Carolina.
This letter is a provisional notification that your proposed project has been reviewed under NWP-29.
In accordance with 40 CIFIR 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 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 NWIP
verification letter. Should State action on the required WQC approve a project different from that
shown on the current application, a modification to the PCIN 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 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 subiect vou to further
enforcement action. Receipt of a certification from the state (e.g., INC Division of Water Resources
and/or INC 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-2019-00580. This correspondence has

also been copied to State and/or Federal agencies for their information. If you have any questions,
please contact Julia Tillery at 919.440.1951, or by email at [e-mail].
Sincerely,
Julia Tillery
