Ian,
I'd like to come to an agreement that would allow us to start work now with
the understanding that we will submit an application modification to the 401
Section.
We have a small break in the Training Schedule due to the holiday season in
order to get this work to be done.
We have contractors on site, ready to begin immediately.
I would like permission to begin the work this week. This will allow us to
start on the work previously submitted and approved by the 401 Section.
We will re-apply for a modification, with a new application and include the
appropriate fee for the additional work.

200400940, SR-7 target improvements,
Marty, I talked with Cyndi and we are both in agreement that you need to
re-apply for a modification, with a new application and appropriate fee.
Please note the following:
Fees and Payment Details:
The 1998 North Carolina General Assembly adopted fees for the 401 Water
Quality Certification Program effective January 1, 1999 (see attached)
(Section 143-215.3D(e)].
Major Water Quality Certification
(defined as those with greater than or equal to one acre of wetland
or water fill or equal to 150 feet of stream impact)
These will have a fee of $475.00

RE: Request for 401 Certification, DWQ #051058; USACE Action L..
Minor Water Quality Certifications
(defined as less than one acre of wetland or less than 150 feet of
stream impact)
These will have a fee of $200.00
* Any applications received by DWQ after January 1, 1999 must
be accompanied by a check for the required amount.
* If payment is not included with a request for a Nationwide
Permit, the application will be returned to the applicant as incomplete.
* If the correct payment is not included with an Individual
404/401 or a LAMA Permit Application, a project file will be created, but
the applicant will receive a letter informing them that the project will not
be processed until the full payment is provided.
* Checks should be made out to "N.C. Division of Water
Quality"
Additional Provisions:
Changes to an existing 401 Water Quality Certification require a full new
Certification by DWQ. Additionally, any 401 Certification that is requested
to be renewed, as a result of the work not being completed prior to the
expiration date, also results in a full issuance of a new Certification. A
fee is required with each issuance.

Cyndi,
I've attached the approval from the COE to modify the subject IP and
allow
the additional 2,600 sgft of impact. I've also included an email

wasn't
required.

Below, it was suggested that we'd need to submit a new application
with a processing fee before a modification of the 401 Cert could be
for this project.
However, I feel our request to fill an additional 2,600 square feet
(100
square feet per target/26 targets) is quite modest and will not
result in
any measurable, adverse effect to the already active live-fire range
area.
The project area is within the existing cleared footprint of a
maintained
live-fire range (photo attached). The additional fill we request is
scattered out across 26 individual target sites.
The Certification states that if revision to the plan results in a
change in
impact, a new application for 401 certification "may" be required.
My hopes are that this additional information will allow the 401
Section to

' issue an amended 401 Certification for this project without a new
application and a new fee.
Please let me know.

They will need to apply for a modification from the State. This
means a new
application and a new fee, however, they may provide a strong
narrative of
what was previously approved, what is proposed and plans on full
plan sheets
clearly depicting the proposed changes. - Ian McMillan

Good Morning A11,
Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune was issued an
individual
permit in May of 2006 for the placement of 26 new targets within an
existing
firing range (SR-7). The original authorization was issued for 0.418
acres
of impact associated with their placement. Camp Lejeune is now
requesting a
modification of this permit to allow for an additional 0.067 acres
of fill
in order to bolster the soil protective berms surrounding the
targets. The
addition amounts to approximately 100 square feet per target of
additional
fill in 404 wetlands. In order to mitigate for this additional
wetland loss
the Base proposes to debit from its GSRA Mitigation Bank for an
additional
0.101 acres at the required 1.5 to 1 ratio set up in the MBI

I would appreciate a response regarding any comments

Thank you for your help in advance and look forward to your

We won't be making a request that Camp Lejeune submit an amendment
the consistency certification. However, we request that a copy of
any
amendments that may be issued be submitted to us for tracking
purposes.
