Dear Mr. Moore:
This letter is in response to the Pre -Construction Notification (PCN) you submitted to
the Wilmington District, Raleigh Field Office on April 24, 2024, for a Department of the
Army Nationwide permit (NWP) verification. This project has been assigned the file
number SAW-2023-00680 and is known as Wilson's Mills High School. 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 permanent discharge of fill material into 0.010 acre of wetland waters. The
project area for this determination includes the area which is illustrated on the enclosed
site plans/maps. The project is located approximately 0.8 miles northeast of the
intersection of Talton Farm Road and US-70 Highway, at Parcel number 260600-05-
3156 in Johnston County, North Carolina.
We have determined that the proposed work is authorized by NWP 39 pursuant to
authorities under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.0 § 1344). 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. 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:
Special condition 1:
1. 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 Matthew
Martin of the Corps at [phone] or [e-mail] 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.
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 Matthew Martin, Regulatory
Specialist of the Raleigh Field Office at [phone], by mail at the above address,
or by email at [e-mail]. Please take a moment to complete
