Please reference the enclosed PCN application package for a project site owned by RITD, LLC, located at
14897 NC Highway 304/33, near Hobucken, in Pamlico County, North Carolina. The property is not
directly located on or adjacent to any waterbody or surface waters.
The US Army Corps of Engineers, Washington Regulatory Field Office, delineated the wetlands on the
site in the project area. The project area consists of an approximate % acre home site with an existing
single-family residential structure and septic system. There are additional wetlands on the property but
are well outside of the proposed project area. The Corps of Engineers has verified the wetland survey
and the supporting documentation is attached for your records. The Corps assigned the project site
Action ID SAW 2018-00605.
We are in the process of renovating the existing dwelling and cleaning up debris that was left by the
former owners of the property. There is a lot of old household trash, metal and woody items, and
miscellaneous debris behind the house. We have removed the majority and have hauled it off to the
landfill. During this process, we have determined that we needed to raise the elevation of the property
and improve the drainage around the septic tank and house foundation. In order to accomplish this
task, we are proposing this PCN to fill 1,499 square feet (0.03 acre) of freshwater wetlands. This area has
been previously impacted by the previous owners and contained many loads of household trash and
miscellaneous debris. We will immediately stabilize the entire project site and provide ground cover as
appropriate and in accordance with the Nationwide Permit Program conditions.
We have enclosed a check for $ 240.00 made payable to the NC Division of Water Resources for the
Minor Water Quality Certification. We have also provided (4) complete copies of the PCN Application
along with the supporting documentation provided by the Corps. The Wetland Survey is also attached
and depicts the proposed fill area, vicinity map, and project site showing the location of the existing
building and septic tank. The topographic and soils maps are also attached for further field reference.
Thank -You for your time and prompt attention to this matter and please do not hesitate to contact me
at telephone [phone] if there are any questions or need additional information.

Location description: Property is an approximate 9.7 acre tract located off the north side of NC Highway 304/33, adjacent to
Jones Bay and the Pamlico Sound, near Hobucken, in Pamlico County, North Carolina. The project area consists of an
approximate 1/2 acre home site with an existing residence. Map ID M031-52. Record 7525. NC PIN 7525-347-838000.
Indicate Which of the Following Apply:
A. Preliminary Determination
X There are waters, including wetlands, on the above described property that may be subject to Section 404 of the Clean
Water Act (CWA)(33 USC § 1344) and/or Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (RHA) (33 USC § 403). The
waters, including wetlands, have been delineated, and the delineation has been verified by the Corps to be sufficiently
accurate and reliable. Therefore this preliminary jurisdiction determination maybe used in the permit evaluation process,
including determining compensatory mitigation. For purposes of computation of impacts, compensatory mitigation
requirements, and other resource protection measures, a permit decision made on the basis of a preliminary JD will treat all
waters and wetlands that would be affected in any way by the permitted activity on the site as if they are jurisdictional
waters of the U.S. This preliminary determination is not an appealable action under the Regulatory Program
Administrative Appeal Process (Reference 33 CFR Part 331). However, you may request an approved JD, which is an
appealable action, by contacting the Corps district for further instruction.
_ There are wetlands on the above described property, that may be subject to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act
(CWA)(33 USC § 1344) and/or Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (RHA) (33 USC § 403). However, since the
waters, including wetlands, have not been properly delineated, this preliminary jurisdiction determination may not be
used in the permit evaluation process. Without a verified wetland delineation, this preliminary determination is merely an
effective presumption of CWA/RHA jurisdiction overall of the waters, including wetlands, at the project area, which is
not sufficiently accurate and reliable to support an enforceable permit decision. We recommend that you have the
waters of the U.S. on your.property delineated. As the Corps may not be able to accomplish this wetland delineation in a
timely manner, you may wish to obtain a consultant to conduct a delineation that can be verified by the Corps.
B. Approved Determination
_ There are Navigable Waters of the United States within the above described property subject to the permit requirements of
Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (RHA) (33 USC § 403) and Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA)(33 USC
§ 1344). Unless there is a change in law or our published regulations, this determination may be relied upon for a period
not to exceed five years from the date of this notification.
There are waters of the U.S., including wetlands, on the above described property subject to the permit requirements of
Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA) (33 USC § 1344). Unless there is a change in the law or our published
regulations, this determination may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years from the date of this notification.
_ We recommend you have the waters of the U.S. on your property delineated. As the Corps may not be able to
accomplish this wetland delineation in a timely manner, you may wish to obtain a consultant to conduct a delineation that
