Dear Mr. Josey:
This is in regard to your Department of the Army permit application number NAO-
2017-02048 to do stream restoration on approximately 600 linear foot of stream and
create a larger pond on your property. The work will occur on your property at Liberty
' Hall Lane, Charlottesville, Virginia. Work will occur as detailed on drawings on file at
this office.
Your proposed work as outlined above satisfies the criteria contained in the Corps
Nationwide Permit(s) (27) and Regional Permit (5) attached. The Corps Nationwide ,
Permits were published in the January 6, 2017, Federal Register notice (82 FR 1860)
and the regulations governing their use can be found in 33 CFR 330 published in
Volume 56, Number 226 of the Federal Register dated November 22, 1991.
Provided the Nationwide Permit General Conditions and Regional Permit General
Conditions (enclosed) are met, an individual Department of the Army Permit will not be
required. In addition, the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality has provided an
• unconditional/conditional §401 Water Quality Certification for Nationwide Permit
Number(s) 27 and Regional Permit No. 5. A permit may be required from the Virginia
Marine Resources Commission and/or your local wetlands board, and this verification is
not valid until you obtain their approval, if necessary. This authorization does not
relieve your responsibility to comply with local requirements pursuant to the
Chesapeake Bay Preservation Act (CBPA), nor does it supersede local government
authority and responsibilities pursuant to the Act. You should contact your local
government before you begin work to find out how the CBPA applies to your project.
Enclosed is a "compliance certification" form, which must be signed and returned
within 30 days of completion of the project, including any required mitigation. Your
signature on this form certifies that you have completed the work in accordance with the
nationwide permit terms and conditions.

SPECIAL CONDITIONS:
1. Monitor the stream restoration for two years to include photo
documentation and do repairs as needed.
This verification is valid until the NWP is modified, reissued, or revoked. All of the
existing NWPs are scheduled to be modified, reissued, or revoked prior to March 18,
2022. It is incumbent upon you to remain informed of changes to the NWPs. We will
issue a public notice when the NWPs are reissued. Furthermore, if you commence or
are under contract to commence this activity before the date that the relevant
• . nationwide permit is modified or revoked, you will have twelve (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 nationwide permit unless discretionary authority
has been exercised on a case-by-case basis to modify, suspend, or revoke the
authorization in accordance with 33 CFR 330.4(e) and 33 CFR 330.5 (c) or (d). Project
specific conditions listed in this letter continue to remain in effect after the NWP
verification expires, unless the district engineer removes those conditions. Activities
completed under the authorization of an NWP which was in effect at the time the activity
was completed continue to be authorized by that NWP.
The Regional Permit verification is valid until June 9, 2022
In granting an authorization pursuant to this permit, the Norfolk District has relied on
the information and data provided by the permittee. If, subsequent to notification by the

revoked, in whole or in part, and/or the Government may institute appropriate legal
proceedings.
