Dear Ms. Spivey:
This letter is in response to the Pre-Construction Notification (PCN) you submitted to
the Wilmington District, Wilmington Regulatory Field Office on September 18, 2024, for
a Department of the Army Nationwide permit (NWP) verification. This project has been
assigned the file number SAW-2021-02622 and is known as Avenue 1. 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
impacts necessary to construct a single-family subdivision with associated infrastructure
and amenities. The impacts necessary to construct this subdivision would include the
discharge of fill into 0.143 of an acre of wetlands, 0.024 of an acre of temporary impacts
to open waters, and 0.085 of an acre of permanent impacts to open waters. The project
area for this determination includes a +/- 158 acre(s) area which is illustrated on the
enclosed site plans/maps. The project/review area is located at Latitude 34.321300 and
Longitude -77.867210; in Wilmington, New Hanover County, North Carolina.
We have determined that the proposed work is authorized by Nationwide Permits 14
and 29 pursuant to authorities under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C §
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 plan (Entitled Exhibit dated 9/18/2024 received
corrected on 10/29/2024). 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 15, 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:
1. Mitigation: In order to compensate for impacts associated with this permit,
mitigation shall be provided in accordance with the provisions outlined on
the most recent version of the attached Compensatory Mitigation
Responsibility Transfer Form. The requirements of this form, including any
special conditions listed on this form, are hereby incorporated as special
conditions of this permit authorization.
2. 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 in the Federal Register. Work associated with the
aforementioned activities not completed by that time must cease and the
permittee must contact the Corps’ (Brad Shaver at
brad.e.shaver@usace.army.mil) 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 Brad Shaver, Project Manager of the
Wilmington Regulatory Field Office at 910-251-4611, by mail at the above address, or
by email at brad.e.shaver@usace.army.mil. Please take a moment to complete our
customer satisfaction survey located at https://regulatory.ops.usace.army.mil/customer-
