Home My WebLink AboutWPO201800019 Approval - Agencies 2018-03-08Albemarle County Attn: Walter Harris 401 McIntire Road Charlottesville, Virginia 22902 Dear Mr. Harris: This is in regard to your Department of the Army permit application number NAO- 2018-00233 for a stream restoration project. The work will occur on an unnamed tributary to Meadow Creek, near Pen Park, Albemarle County, Virginia. These project is 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), 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 (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. 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. Ensure Monitoring is conducted as per the Monitoring plan submitted with this project.

Growing Season 1, 2, 3, and 5 shall follow the FWS Protocol as described in the maintenance agreement submitted with the application. As described in the protocol, if problems are found through photographic/visual assessments, then physical surveys will be completed to determine severity of problem and necessary corrective action. 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. 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 Corps that a project qualifies for this permit, such information and data prove to be materially false or materially incomplete, the authorization may be suspended or revoked, in whole or in part, and/or the Government may institute appropriate legal proceedings. If you have any questions and/or concerns about this permit authorization, please contact Vincent Pero via telephone at 434-973-0568 or via email at Vincent.d.pero@usace.army.mil Sincerely, P E RO YI N C E NT.
