Attn: Mr. Patrick Breedlove
253 Webster Road
Sylva, NC 28779
Dear Mr. Breedlove:
This letter is in response to the Pre-Construction Notification (PCN) you submitted to
the Wilmington District, WRDA7UDQVSRUWDWLRQ%UDQFK on November 18, 2025, for a
Department of the Army Nationwide permit (NWP) verification. This project has been
assigned the file number SAW-2025-02130 and is known as the Br 65 replacement
project (B6034). 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 the replacement of an obsolete bridge with a new bridge and would result in the
permanent impact to 53 lf of stream channel due to bank stabilization and the
temporary impact to 50 lf due to dewatering. The Br 65 replacement project (B6034) is
located where Pumpkintown Road crosses Savannah Creek, just east of the
intersection of Pumpkintown Road and Victory Church Road in Sylva, Jackson County,
North Carolina. Latitude 35.274389 and Longitude -83.289328.
We have determined that the proposed work is authorized by GP 50 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 plans. 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 May 30, 2030, unless prior to this date the subject
GP(s) is suspended, revoked, or is modified such that the activity no longer complies
with the terms and conditions of this GP. If you commence or are under contract to
commence this activity before the date that the relevant GP is modified or revoked, you
will have 12 months from the date of the modification or revocation of the GP to
complete the activity under the present terms and conditions of this GP.
Project Specific Special Conditions:
1) The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s (USFWS’s) Programmatic Biological (PBO)
and Conference Opinion (PCO) and Programmatic Conference Report titled
"Five Imperiled Bat Species in Western North Carolina” dated April 1, 2025,
contains mandatory terms and conditions to implement the reasonable and
prudent measures that are associated with “incidental take” that are specified in
the PBO/PCO. The USFWS adopted the PBO/PCO as the Programmatic
Biological Opinion (PBO) for the effects of this action on August 18, 2025. Your
authorization under this Corps permit is conditional upon your compliance with all
the mandatory terms and conditions associated with incidental take of the PBO,
which terms and conditions are incorporated by reference in this permit. Failure
to comply with the terms and conditions associated with incidental take of the
PBO, where a take of the listed species occurs, would constitute an unauthorized
take, and it would also constitute non-compliance with your Corps permit. The
USFWS is the appropriate authority to determine compliance with the terms and
conditions of its PBO, and with the ESA.
2) Per the NC Wildlife Resources Commission’s 8/15/2025 letter, NCDOT The
October 15 to April 15 trout moratoria should be adhered to for instream
disturbance with this bridge construction. Applicable measures from the current
NCDOT Erosion and Sediment Control Design and Construction Manual should
be adhered to. Design Standards in Sensitive Waters should be incorporated into
the project’s erosion control to help ensure protection of potential trout spawning
and high-quality habitat. Matting used in riparian areas should not contain nylon
mesh because it entangles and kills wildlife. Coir matting should be used on
disturbed stream banks that are steep or susceptible to high water. Matting should
be anchored with wooden stakes according to NCDOT specifications.
This GP 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 Crystal Amschler, WRDA
7UDQVSRUWDWLRQ%UDQFKProject Manager at 828-526-6013, by mail at the above
address, or by email at crystal.c.amschler@usace.army.mil. Please take a moment to
