Dear Mr. Evans:
Through coordination with Mr. Jerry Hall of the Moore County Soil
Conservation Service, we have learned of your plans to construct a pond on a
tributary of the Little River, near Vass in Moore County, North Carolina.
Mr. Jeff Richter of my staff has reviewed your proposal and determined
that it will impact less than one acre of wetlands subject to our regulatory
jurisdiction and will be located in the headwaters of the tributary.
Therefore, the work is authorized by our Nationwide Permit No. 26.
For the purposes of the Corps of Engineers' Regulatory Program, Title 33,
Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 330.6, published in the Federal
Register on November 22, 1991, lists nationwide permits. Authorization was
provided, pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, for discharges of
dredged or fill material into headwaters and isolated waters provided:
a. the discharge does not cause the loss of more than 10 acres of waters
of the United States;
b. the permittee notifies the District Engineer if the discharge would
cause the loss of waters of the United States greater than one acre in
accordance with the "Notification" general condition. For discharges in
special aquatic sites, including wetlands, the notification must also include
a delineation of affected specific aquatic sites, including wetlands; and
c. the discharge, including all attendant features, both temporary and
permanent, is part of a single and complete project.
Your work is authorized by this nationwide permit provided it is
accomplished in strict accordance with the enclosed conditions. This
nationwide permit does not relieve you of the responsibility to obtain any
required State or local approval. Please be aware that the federally
endangered red-cockaded woodpecker (Picoides borealis) has recorded colonies
in Moore County. Critical habitat includes a half-mile radius of foraging
habitat around each colony or cavity tree. Care must be taken to insure that
this species, or any other federally threatened or endangered species found in
the area, is not adversely impacted by this work.
l
This verification will be valid for 2 years from the date of this letter
unless the nationwide authorization is modified, reissued, or revoked. Also,
this verification will remain valid for the 2 years if, during that period,
the nationwide permit authorization is reissued without modification or the
activity complies with any subsequent modification of the nationwide permit
authorization. If during the 2 years, the nationwide permit authorization
expires or is suspended or revoked, or is modified, such that the activity
would no longer comply with the terms and conditions of the nationwide permit,
activities which have commenced (i.e., are under construction) or are under
contract to commence in reliance upon the nationwide permit will remain
authorized provided the activity is completed within 12 months of the date of
the nationwide permit's expiration, modification or revocation, unless
discretionary authority has been exercised on a case-by-case basis to modify,
suspend, or revoke the authorization.
Prior to commencement of any work you should contact Mr. John Dorney of
the North Carolina Division of Environmental Management, telephone (919)
733-1786.
Questions or comments may be addressed to Mr. Jeff Richter, Wilmington
Field Office, Regulatory Branch, telephone [phone].
Sincerely,
