Upon written notice from the Engineer, the Contractor shall promptly replace and re-execute Work
by Contractor forces, in accordance with the intent of the Contract and without expense to the
Owner, and shall bear the expense of making good all Work of other contractors destroyed or
damaged by such removal or replacement.
If the Contractor does not remove such condemned Work and materials and commence re-
execution of the Work within 7 calendar days of written notice from the Engineer, or fails to perform
any part of the Work required by the Contract Documents, the Owner may correct and remedy such
Work as may be identified in the written notice, with Contracting Agency forces or by such other

immediately, have the rejected Work removed and replaced, or have Work the Contractor refuses to
perform completed by using Contracting Agency or other forces. An emergency situation is any
situation when, in the opinion of the Engineer, a delay in its remedy could be potentially unsafe, or
might cause serious risk of loss or damage to the public, the Property Owner and the Property
Owner’s property.
No adjustment in contract time or compensation will be allowed because of the delay in the
performance of the Work attributable to the exercise of the Contracting Agency’s rights provided by
this section.

right to pursue any other avenue for additional remedy or damages with respect to the Contractor’s
failure to perform the Work as required.

(Feb 3, 2025, Renton GSP)
Section 1-05.10 is supplemented as follows:
If within one year after the Acceptance Date of the Work by the Contracting Agency, defective

Contracting Agency, return and in accordance with the Engineer’s instructions, either correct such
Work, or if such Work has been rejected by the Engineer, remove it from the project site and replace
it with non-defective and authorized Work, all without cost to the Contracting Agency. If the
Contractor does not promptly comply with the written order to correct defective and/or
unauthorized Work, or if an emergency exists, the Contracting Agency reserves the right to have
defective and/or unauthorized Work corrected or removed and replaced pursuant to Section 1-05.7
“Removal of Defective and/or Unauthorized Work.”
The Contractor agrees the above one year limitation shall not exclude or diminish the Contracting
Agency’s rights under any law to obtain damages and recover costs resulting from defective and/or

1-05.11 Final Inspection
Delete this section and replace it with the following:
1-05.11 Final Inspections and Operational Testing
(October 1, 2005 APWA GSP)
1-05.11(1) Substantial Completion Date
When the Contractor considers the work to be substantially complete, the Contractor shall so
notify the Engineer and request the Engineer establish the Substantial Completion Date. The
Contractor’s request shall list the specific items of work that remain to be completed in order to
reach physical completion. The Engineer will schedule an inspection of the work with the
Contractor to determine the status of completion. The Engineer may also establish the Substantial
Completion Date unilaterally.
If, after this inspection, the Engineer concurs with the Contractor that the work is substantially
complete and ready for its intended use, the Engineer, by written notice to the Contractor, will set
the Substantial Completion Date. If, after this inspection the Engineer does not consider the work
substantially complete and ready for its intended use, the Engineer will, by written notice, so notify
the Contractor giving the reasons therefor.
Upon receipt of written notice concurring in or denying substantial completion, whichever is
applicable, the Contractor shall pursue vigorously, diligently and without unauthorized
interruption, the work necessary to reach Substantial and Physical Completion. The Contractor
shall provide the Engineer with a revised schedule indicating when the Contractor expects to reach
substantial and physical completion of the work.
The above process shall be repeated until the Engineer establishes the Substantial Completion
Date and the Contractor considers the work physically complete and ready for final inspection.
1-05.11(2) Final Inspection and Physical Completion Date
When the Contractor considers the work physically complete and ready for final inspection, the
Contractor by written notice, shall request the Engineer to schedule a final inspection. The
Engineer will set a date for final inspection. The Engineer and the Contractor will then make a final
inspection and the Engineer will notify the Contractor in writing of all particulars in which the final
inspection reveals the work incomplete or unacceptable. The Contractor shall immediately take
such corrective measures as are necessary to remedy the listed deficiencies. Corrective work shall
be pursued vigorously, diligently, and without interruption until physical completion of the listed
deficiencies. This process will continue until the Engineer is satisfied the list ed deficiencies have
been corrected.

If action to correct the listed deficiencies is not initiated within 7 days after receipt of the written
notice listing the deficiencies, the Engineer may, upon written notice to the Contractor, take
whatever steps are necessary to correct those deficiencies pursuant to Section 1-05.7.
The Contractor will not be allowed an extension of contract time because of a delay in the
performance of the work attributable to the exercise of the Engineer’s right hereunder.
Upon correction of all deficiencies, the Engineer will notify the Contractor and the Contracting
Agency, in writing, of the date upon which the work was considered physically complete. That date
shall constitute the Physical Completion Date of the contract, but shall not imply acceptance of the
work or that all the obligations of the Contractor under the contract have been fulfilled.
1-05.11(3) Operational Testing
It is the intent of the Contracting Agency to have at the Physical Completion Date a complete and
operable system. Therefore when the work involves the installation of machinery or other
mechanical equipment; street lighting, electrical distribution or signal systems; irrigation systems;
buildings; or other similar work it may be desirable for the Engineer to have the Contractor operate
and test the work for a period of time after final inspection but prior to the phy sical completion
date. Whenever items of work are listed in the Contract Provisions for operational testing they shall
be fully tested under operating conditions for the time period specified to ensure their acceptability
prior to the Physical Completion Date. During and following the test period, the Contractor shall
correct any items of workmanship, materials, or equipment which prove faulty, or that are not in
first class operating condition. Equipment, electrical controls, meters, or other devices and
equipment to be tested during this period shall be tested under the observation of the Engineer, so
that the Engineer may determine their suitability for the purpose for which they were installed. The
Physical Completion Date cannot be established until testing and corrections have been
completed to the satisfaction of the Engineer.
The costs for power, gas, labor, material, supplies, and everything else needed to successfully
complete operational testing, shall be included in the unit contract prices related to the system
being tested, unless specifically set forth otherwise in the p roposal.
Operational and test periods, when required by the Engineer, shall not affect a manufacturer’s
guaranties or warranties furnished under the terms of the contract.

from the expected conditions shown in the Contract Drawings. The Contractor shall perform all
potholing identified on the plans prior to any construction to allow for any potential design
modifications. The Contractor is still responsible to verify depth, location, alignment, and size of all
existing utilities either specifically called for or not on the plans. For these utilities, the Contractor
shall allow the Engineer 10 working days after written results are received to allow for minor design
modifications when needed. The Contractor shall use the information obtained by potholing for
procurement of suitable materials to revise the work accordingly, where required by the Contract.
Upon completion of excavation the material can be used for temporary restoration.
Where underground utilities are found to be in the way of construction, such condition shall not be
deemed to be a changed or differing site condition, and if necessary, pipe alignment or grade shall
be modified. No payment will be made unless potholing has been performed prior to trench
excavation and witnessed by the Engineer. Different utilities may be found to occupy a common
trench. Any two or more utilities separated by 3 feet or less shall constitute one pothole. Where
multiple utilities exist in close proximity, the Contractor shall be paid for one pothole for every 5 feet
of exploration trench. The quantity for this item is included to provide a common proposal for bid
purposes. The actual quantity used in construction may vary from that amount. The unit price will

1-07.18(1) General Requirements
A. The Contractor shall procure and maintain the insurance described in all subsections of
section 1-07.18 of these Special Provisions, from insurers with a current A. M. Best rating of not
less than A-: VII and licensed to do business in the State of Washington. The Contracting
Agency reserves the right to approve or reject the insurance provided, based on the insurer’s
financial condition.
B. The Contractor shall keep this insurance in force without interruption from the commencement
of the Contractor’s Work through the term of the Contract and for thirty (30) days after the
Physical Completion date, unless otherwise indicated below.
C. If any insurance policy is written on a claims-made form, its retroactive date, and that of all
subsequent renewals, shall be no later than the effective date of this Contract. The policy shall
state that coverage is claims made and state the retroactive date. Claims-made form coverage
shall be maintained by the Contractor for a minimum of 36 months following the Completion
Date or earlier termination of this Contract, and the Contractor shall annually provide the
Contracting Agency with proof of renewal. If renewal of the claims made form of coverage
becomes unavailable, or economically prohibitive, the Contractor shall purchase an extended
reporting period (“tail”) or execute another form of guarantee acceptable to the Contracting
Agency to assure financial responsibility for liability for services performed.
D. The Contractor’s Automobile Liability, Commercial General Liability and Excess or Umbrella
Liability insurance policies shall be primary and non-contributory insurance as respects the
1-07 LEGAL RELATIONS AND RESPONSIBILITIES TO THE PUBLIC
Maplewood Creek and Madsen Creek
Sediment Basin Cleaning Project 2025-2026 Project Special Provisions

self-insurance, or self-insured pool coverage maintained by the Contracting Agency shall be
excess of the Contractor’s insurance and shall not contribute with it.
E. The Contractor shall provide the Contracting Agency and all additional insureds with written
notice of any policy cancellation, within two business days of their receipt of such notice.
F. The Contractor shall not begin work under the Contract until the required insurance has been
obtained and approved by the Contracting Agency
G. Failure on the part of the Contractor to maintain the insurance as required shall constitute a
material breach of contract, upon which the Contracting Agency may, after giving five business
days’ notice to the Contractor to correct the breach, immediately terminate the Contract or, at
its discretion, procure or renew such insurance and pay any and all premiums in connection
therewith, with any sums so expended to be repaid to the Contracting Agency on demand, or at
the sole discretion of the Contracting Agency, offset against funds due the Contractor from the
Contracting Agency.
H. All costs for insurance shall be incidental to and included in the unit or lump sum prices of the
Contract and no additional payment will be made.
I. Under no circumstances shall a wrap up policy be obtained, for either initiating or maintaining
coverage, to satisfy insurance requirements for any policy required under this Section. A “wrap
up policy” is defined as an insurance agreement or arrangement under which all the parties
working on a specified or designated project are insured under one policy for liability arising out
of that specified or designated project.
1-07.18(2) Additional Insured
All insurance policies, with the exception of Workers Compensation, and of Professional Liability
and Builder’s Risk (if required by this Contract) shall name the following listed entities as additional

1. An ACORD certificate or a form determined by the Contracting Agency to be equivalent.
2. Copies of all endorsements naming Contracting Agency and all other entities listed in
1-07.18(2) as additional insured(s), showing the policy number. The Contractor may submit a

4. A notation of coverage enhancements on the Certificate of Insurance shall not satisfy these
requirements – actual endorsements must be submitted.
Upon request by the Contracting Agency, the Contractor shall forward to the Contracting Agency a
full and certified copy of the insurance policy(s). If Builders Risk insurance is required on this
Project, a full and certified copy of that policy is required when the Contractor delivers the signed
Contract for the work.
1-07.18(5) Coverages and Limits
The insurance shall provide the minimum coverages and limits set forth below. Contractor’s

the opinion of the Engineer, in the interest of public safety and welfare of the Owner, or for
coordination with any other activity of other contractors, the availability of all or portions of the job
site, or special provisions of this Contract, or to reasonably meet the completion date of the
project. The Contractor shall provide such revised schedule within 10 days of request.
If, at any time, in the opinion of the Engineer, the progress of construction falls significantly behind
schedule, the Contractor may be required to submit a plan for regaining progress and a revised
schedule indicating how the remaining Work items will be completed within the authorized contract
time.
The Contractor shall promptly report to the Engineer any conditions that the Contractor feels will
require revision of the schedule and shall promptly submit proposed revisions in the progress
schedule for acceptance by the Engineer. When such changes are accepted by the Engineer, the
revised schedule shall be followed by the Contractor.

sets forth specific Work to be performed the following week, and a tentative schedule for the
second week.
Failure to Maintain Progress Schedule. The Engineer will check actual progress of the Work
against the progress schedule a minimum of two times per month. Failure, without just cause, to
maintain progress in accordance with the approved schedule shall constitute a breach of Contract.
If, through no fault of the Contractor, the proposed construction schedule cannot be met, the
Engineer will require the Contractor to submit a revised schedule to the Engineer for acceptance.
The approved revisions will thereafter, in all respects, apply in lieu of the original schedule.
Failure of the Contractor to follow the progress schedule submitted and accepted, including
revisions thereof, shall relieve the Owner of any and all responsibility for furnishing and making

A non-working day is defined as a Saturday, a Sunday, a day on which the Contract specifically
suspends Work, or one of these holidays: January 1, third Monday of January, Memorial Day,
Juneteenth, July 4, Labor Day, November 11, Thanksgiving Day, the day after Thanksgiving, and
Christmas Day. The day before Christmas shall be a holiday when Christmas Day occurs on a
Tuesday, Wednesday, or Friday. The day after Christmas shall be a holiday when Chr istmas Day
occurs on a Monday or Thursday. When Christmas Day occurs on a Saturday, the two preceding
working days shall be observed as holidays. When Christmas day occurs on a Sunday, the two
working days following shall be observed as holidays. When holidays other than Christmas fall on a
Saturday, the preceding Friday will be counted as a non-working day and when they fall on a Sunday
the following Monday will be counted as a non-working day. The Contract Time has been

established to allow for periods of normal inclement weather that, from historical records, is to be
expected during the Contract Time, and during which periods, Work is anticipated to be performed.
Each successive working day, beginning with the Notice to Proceed date and ending with the
Physical Completion date, shall be charged to the Contract Time as it occurs except a day, or part
of a day, which is designated a non-working day or an Engineer determined unworkable day.
The Engineer will furnish the Contractor a weekly report showing (1) the number of working days
charged against the Contract Time for the preceding week; (2) the Contract Time in working days;
(3) the number of working days remaining in the Contract Time; (4) the number of non-working days;
and (5) any partial or whole days the Engineer declared unworkable the previous week. This weekly
report will be correlated with the Contractor’s current approved progress schedule. If the
Contractor elects to work 10 hours a day and 4 days a week (a 4-10 schedule), and the fifth day of
the week in which a 4-10 shift is worked would ordinarily be charged as a working day, then the fifth
day of that week will be charged as a working day whether or not the Contractor works on that day.
The Contractor will be allowed 10 calendar days from the date of each report in which to file a
written protest of an alleged discrepancy in the Contract Time as reported. Otherwise, the report
will be deemed to have been accepted by the Contractor as correct.
The requirements for scheduling the Final Inspection and establishing the Substantial Completion,
Physical Completion, and Completion Dates are specified in Sections 1-05.11 and 1-05.12.
Revise the sixth paragraph to read:
The Engineer will give the Contractor written notice of the completion date of the contract after all
the Contractor’s obligations under the contract have been performed by the Contractor. The
following events must occur before the Completion Date can be established:
1. The physical work on the project must be complete; and
2. The Contractor must furnish all documentation required by the contract and required by
law, to allow the Contracting Agency to process final acceptance of the contract. The
following documents must be received by the Project Engineer prior to establishing a
completion date:
a. Certified Payrolls (per Section 1-07.9(5)).
b. Material Acceptance Certification Documents
c. Monthly Reports in DMCS of the amounts paid including the final payment confirmation to
all firms required by Section 1-08.1(7)A if applicable
d. Final Contract Voucher Certification
e. Copies of the approved “Affidavit of Prevailing Wages Paid” for the Contractor and all
subcontractors
f. A copy of the Notice of Termination sent to the Washington State Department of Ecology
(Ecology); the elapse of 30 calendar days from the date of receipt of the Notice of
Termination by Ecology; and no rejection of the Notice of Termination by Ecology. This
requirement will not apply if the Construction Stormwater General Permit is transferred
back to the Contracting Agency in accordance with Section 8-01.3(16).
g. Property owner releases per Section 1-07.24

lighting standards, and signal standards required for the physical completion of the Contract. Such
purchase orders shall disclose the estimated delivery dates for the equipment.
All items of Work that can be performed without delivery of the critical items shall start and be
completed as soon as possible. At that time, the Engineer may suspend the Work upon request of
the Contractor until the critical items are delivered to the Contractor, if the Contracting Agency
received a purchase order within 10 calendar days after execution of the Contract by the
Contracting Agency.
The Contractor will be entitled to only one such suspension of time during the performance of the
Work and during such suspension shall not perform any additional Work on the project. Upon
delivery of the critical items, contract time will resume and continue to be charged in accordance
with Section 1-08.

The Contractor alone shall at all times be responsible for the adequacy, efficiency, and sufficiency
of his and his subcontractor's plant and equipment. The Owner shall have the right to make use of
the Contractor's plant and equipment in the performance of any Work on the site of the Work.
The use by the Owner of such plant and equipment shall be considered as extra Work and paid for
accordingly.
Neither the Owner nor the Engineer assumes any responsibility, at any time, for the security of the
site from the time the Contractor's operations have commenced until final acceptance of the Work
by the Engineer and the Owner. The Contractor shall employ such measures as additional fencing,
barricades, and watchmen service, as he deems necessary for the public safety and for the
protection of the site and his plant and equipment. The Owner will be provided keys for all fenced,
secured areas.

times be represented by a competent superintendent who shall have full authority to execute the
same, and to supply materials, tools, and labor without delay, and who shall be the legal
representative of the Contractor. The Contractor shall be liable for the faithful observance of any
instructions delivered to him or to his authorized representative.

1-09.1 Measurement of Quantities
(Feb 3, 2025, Renton GSP)
Section 1-09.1 is supplemented by adding the following:
Lump Sum. The percentage of lump sum Work completed, and payment will be based on the cost
percentage breakdown of the lump sum bid price(s) submitted at the preconstruction conference.
The Contractor shall submit a breakdown of costs for each lump sum bid item. The breakdown
shall list the items included in the lump sum together with a unit price of labor, materials, and
equipment for each item. The summation of the detailed unit prices for each item shall add up to
the lump sum bid. The unit price values may be used as a guideline for determining progress
payments or deductions or additions in payment for ordered Work changes.
Cubic Yard Quantities. The Contractor shall provide truck trip tickets for progress payments only
in the following manner. Where items are specified to be paid by the cubic yard, the following tally
system shall be used.
All trucks to be employed on this Work will be measured to determine the volume of each truck.
Each truck shall be clearly numbered, to the satisfaction of the Engineer, and there shall be no
duplication of numbers.
Duplicate tally tickets shall be prepared to accompany each truckload of material delivered on the
project. All tickets received that do not contain the following information will not be processed for
payment:

1-09.3 Scope of Payment
(Feb 3, 2025, Renton GSP)
Section 1-09.3 is supplemented by adding the following:
The bid items listed in Section 1-09.14 will be the only items for which compensation will be made
for the Work described in each section of the Standard Specifications when the Contractor
performs the specified Work. Should a bid item be listed in a “Payment” clause but not in the
Proposal Form, and Work for that item is performed by the Contractor and the Work is not stated as
included in or incidental to a pay item in the Contract and is not Work that would be required to
complete the intent of the Contract per Section 1-04.1, then payment for that Work will be made as
for Extra Work pursuant to a Change Order.
The words “Bid Item,” “Contract Item,” and “Pay Item,” and similar terms used throughout the
Contract Documents are synonymous.
If the “payment” clause in the Specifications relating to any unit bid item price in the Proposal Form
requires that said unit bid item price cover and be considered compensation for certain Work or
material essential to the item, then the Work or material will not be measured or paid for under any
other unit bid item which may appear elsewhere in the Proposal Form or Specifications.
Pluralized unit bid items appearing in these Specifications are changed to singular form.
Payment for bid items listed or referenced in the “Payment” clause of any particular section of the
Specifications shall be considered as including all of the Work required, specified, or described in
that particular section. Payment items will generally be listed generically in the Specifications, and
specifically in the bid form. When items are to be “furnished” under one payment item and
“installed” under another payment item, such items shall be furnished FOB project site, or, if
specified in the Special Provisions, delivered to a designated site. Materials to be “furnished,” or
“furnished and installed” under these conditions, shall be the responsibility of the Contractor with
regard to storage until such items are incorporated into the Work or, if such items are not to be
incorporated into the Work, delivered to the applicable Contracting Agency storage site when
provided for in the Specifications. Payment for material “furnished,” but not yet incorporated into
the Work, may be made on monthly estimates to the extent allowed.

Supplement this section with the following:
The Contracting Agency has estimated and included in the Proposal, dollar amounts for all items to
be paid per force account, only to provide a common proposal for Bidders. All such dollar amounts
are to become a part of Contractor's total bid. However, the Contracting Agency does not warrant
expressly or by implication, that the actual amount of work will correspond with those estimates.
Payment will be made on the basis of the amount of work actually authorized by the Engineer.
1-09.7 Mobilization
(Feb 3, 2025, Renton GSP)
Section 1-09.7 is supplemented as follows:
Mobilization shall also include, but not be limited to, the following items: the movement of
Contractor's personnel, equipment, supplies, and incidentals to the project site; the establishment
of an office, buildings, and other facilities necessary for Work on the project; providing sanitary
facilities for the Contractor's personnel; and obtaining permits or licenses required to complete the
project not furnished by the Owner.
Payment will be made for the following bid item(s):
“Mobilization & Demobilization,” Lump Sum.
1-09.9 Payments
(Feb 3, 2025, Renton GSP)
Delete the fourth paragraph and replace it with the following:
Progress payments for completed Work and material on hand will be based upon progress
estimates prepared by the Engineer. A progress estimate cutoff date will be established at the
preconstruction meeting.
The initial progress estimate will be made not later than 30 days after the Contractor commences
the Work, and successive progress estimates will be made every month thereafter until the
Completion Date. Progress estimates made during progress of the Work are tentative and made
only for the purpose of determining progress payment. The progress estimates are subject to
change at any time prior to the calculation of the final payment.
The value of the progress estimate will be the sum of the following:
1. Unit Price Items in the Bid Form – the approximate quantity of acceptable units of Work
completed multiplied by the unit price.
2. Lump Sum Items in the Bid Form – the estimated percentage complete multiplied by the Bid
Forms amount for each lump sum item, or per the schedule of values for that item.
3. Materials on Hand – 100 percent of invoiced cost of material delivered to job site or other

4. Change Orders – entitlement for approved extra cost or completed extra Work as determined
by the Engineer.
Progress payments will be made in accordance with the progress estimate less:
1. Retainage per Section 1-09.9(1);
2. The amount of Progress Payments previously made; and
3. Funds withheld by the Contracting Agency for disbursement in accordance with the Contract
Documents.
Progress payments for Work performed shall not be evidence of acceptable performance or an
admission by the Contracting Agency that any Work has been satisfactorily completed.
Payments will be made by check or electronic transfer, issued by the Contracting Agency’s fiscal
officer, against the appropriate fund source for the project. Payments received on account of Work
performed by a subcontractor are subject to the provisions of RCW 39.04.250.
Section 1-09.9 is supplemented as follows:
Applications for payment shall be itemized and supported to the extent required by the Engineer by
receipts or other vouchers showing payment for materials and labor, payments to subcontractors,
and other such evidence of the Contractor's right to payment as the Engineer may direct, including
“red line” as-built drawings showing work installed by the contractor during the progress payment
period.
The Contractor shall submit a progress report with each monthly request for a progress payment.
The progress report shall indicate the estimated percent complete for each activity listed on the
progress schedule (see Section 1-08.3) and a revised and updated schedule to reflect the most
current project completion date.
1-09.9(1) Retainage
(Feb 3, 2025, Renton GSP)
Section 1-09.9(1) is supplemented as follows:
The retained amount shall be released as stated in the Standard Specifications if no claims have
been filed against such funds as provided by law, and if the Owner has no unsatisfied claims
against the Contractor. In the event claims are filed, the Owner shall withhold, until such claims
are satisfied, a sum sufficient to satisfy all claims and to pay attorney's fees. In addition, the Owner
shall withhold such amount as is required to satisfy any claims by the Owner against the
Contractor, until such claims have been finally settled.
Neither the final payment nor any part of the retained percentage shall become due until the
Contractor, if requested, delivers to the Owner a complete release of all liens arising out of this
Contract, or receipts in full in lieu thereof, and, if required in either case, an affidavit that so far as
the Contractor has knowledge or information, the release and receipts include all labor and
materials for which a lien could be filed: but the Contractor may, if any subcontractor refuses to
furnish a release or receipt in full, furnish a bond satisfactorily to the Engineer to indemnify the

Owner against the lien. If any lien remains unsatisfied after all payments are made, the Contractor
shall reimburse to the Owner all monies that the latter may be compelled to pay in discharging such
lien, including all costs and reasonable engineer's and attorney's fees.
1-09.9(2) Contracting Agency’s Right to Withhold and Disburse Certain Amounts
(Feb 3, 2025, Renton GSP)
Section 1-09.9(2) is a new section:
In addition to monies retained pursuant to RCW 60.28 and subject to RCW 39.04.250, RCW 39.12
and RCW 39.76, the Contractor authorizes the Engineer to withhold progress payments due or
deduct an amount from any payment or payments due the Contractor which, in the Engineer’s
opinion, may be necessary to cover the Contracting Agency’s costs for or to remedy the following
situations:
1. Damage to another contractor when there is evidence thereof and a claim has been filed.
2. Where the Contractor has not paid fees or charges to public authorities of municipalities,
which the Contractor is obligated to pay.
3. Utilizing material tested and inspected by the Engineer, for purposes not connected with the
Work (Section 1-05.6).
4. Landscape damage assessments per Section 1-07.16.
5. For overtime Work performed by City personnel per Section 1-08.0(3).
6. Anticipated or actual failure of the Contractor to complete the Work on time:
a. Per Section 1-08.9 Liquidated Damages; or
b. Lack of construction progress based upon the Engineer’s review of the Contractor’s
approved progress schedule, which indicates the Work will not be complete within the
contract time. When calculating an anticipated time overrun, the Engineer will make
allowances for weather delays, approved unavoidable delays, and suspensions of the
Work. The amount withheld under this subparagraph will be based upon the liquidated
damages amount per day set forth in Contract Documents multiplied by the number of
days the Contractor’s approved progress schedule, in the opinion of the Engineer,
indicates the Contract may exceed the Contract Time.
7. Failure of the Contractor to perform any of the Contractor’s other obligations under the
Contract, including but not limited to:
a. Failure of the Contractor to provide the Engineer with a field office when required by the
Contract Provisions.
b. Failure of the Contractor to protect survey stakes, markers, etc., or to provide adequate
survey Work as required by Section 1-05.4.
c. Failure of the Contractor to correct defective or unauthorized Work (Section 1-05.7).
d. Failure of the Contractor to furnish a Manufacturer’s Certificate of Compliance in lieu of
material testing and inspection as required by Section 1-06.3.

underpayment to employees of the Contractor or subcontractor of any tier as required by
Section 1-07.9.
f. Failure of the Contractor to pay worker’s benefits (Title 50 and Title 51 RCW) as required
by Section 1-07.10.
g. Failure of the Contractor to submit and obtain approval of a progress schedule per
Section 1-08.3.
The Contractor authorizes the Engineer to act as agent for the Contractor disbursing such funds as
have been withheld pursuant to this Section to a party or parties who are entitled to payment.
Disbursement of such funds, if the Engineer elects to do so will be made only after giving the
Contractor 15 calendar days prior written notice of the Contracting Agency’s intent to do so, and if
prior to the expiration of the 15-calendar day period,
1. No legal action has commenced to resolve the validity of the claims, and
2. The Contractor has not protested such disbursement.
A proper accounting of all funds disbursed on behalf of the Contractor in accordance with this
Section will be made. A payment made pursuant to this section shall be considered as payment
made under the terms and conditions of the Contract. The Contracting Agency shall not be liable
to the Contractor for such payment made in good faith.
1-09.9(3) Final Payment
(Feb 3, 2025, Renton GSP)
Section 1-09.9(2) is a new section:
Upon Acceptance of the Work by the Contracting Agency, the final amount to be paid the Contactor
will be calculated based upon a Final Progress Estimate made by the Engineer. Acceptance by the
Contractor of the final payment shall be and shall operate as a release:
1. To the Contracting Agency of all claims and all liabilities of the Contractor, other than claims
in stated amounts as may be specifically accepted in writing by the Contractor;
2. For all things done or furnished in connection with the Work;
3. For every act and neglect by the Contracting Agency; and
4. For all other claims and liability relating to or arising out of the Work.
A payment (monthly, final, retainage, or otherwise) shall not release the Contractor or the
Contractor’s Surety from any obligation required under the terms of the Contract Documents or the
Contract Bond; nor shall such payment constitute a waiver of the Contracting Agency’s ability to
investigate and act upon findings of non-compliance with the WMBE requirements of the Contract;
nor shall such payment preclude the Contracting Agency from recovering damages, setting
penalties, or obtaining such other remedies as may be permitted by law.
Before the Work will be accepted by the Contracting Agency, the Contractor shall submit an
affidavit, on the form provided by the Engineer, of amounts paid to certified disadvantaged (DB),
minority (MBE) or women business enterprises (WBE) participating in the Work. Such affidavit shall
certify the amounts paid to the DB, MBE or WBE subcontractors regardless of tier.

On federally funded projects the Contractor may also be required to execute and furnish the
Contracting Agency an affidavit certifying that the Contractor has not extended any loans, gratuity
or gift and money pursuant to Section 1-07.19 of these Specifications.
If the Contractor fails, refuses, or is unable to sign and return the Final Progress Estimate or any
other documents required for the final acceptance of the Contract, the Contracting Agency
reserves the right to establish a completion date and unilaterally accept the Contract. Unilateral
acceptance will occur only after the Contractor has been provided the opportunity, by written
request from the Engineer, to voluntarily submit such documents. If voluntary compliance is not
achieved, formal notification of the impending unilateral acceptance will be provided by certified
letter from the Engineer to the Contractor that will provide 30 calendar days for the Contractor to
submit the necessary documents. The 30-calendar day deadline shall begin on the date of the
postmark of the certified letter from the Engineer requesting the necessary documents. This
reservation by the Contracting Agency to unilaterally accept the Contract will apply to contracts
that are completed in accordance with Section 1-08.5 for contracts that are terminated in
accordance with Section 1-08.10. Unilateral acceptance of the Contract by the Contracting Agency
does not in any way relieve the Contractor of the provisions under contract or of the responsibility
to comply with all laws, ordinances, and federal, state, and local regulations that affect the
Contract. The date the Contracting Agency unilaterally signs the Final Progress Estimate
constitutes the final acceptance date (Section 1-05.12).

causes of action shall be brought only in the Superior Court of the county where the Contracting
Agency headquarters is located, provided that where an action is asserted against a county, RCW
36.01.050 shall control venue and jurisdiction. The parties understand and agree that the
Contractor’s failure to bring suit within the time period provided, shall be a complete bar to all such
claims or causes of action. It is further mutually agreed by the parties that when claims or causes of
action which the Contractor asserts against the Contracting Agency arising from the Contract are

Upstream Bypass Dam and Creek Diversion
The upstream bypass dam will be constructed upstream of the sediment basin, next to the 18-inch
bypass inlet. The bypass dam will divert the entire flow from the creek into the 18 -inch bypass pipe
to prevent water from flowing to the sediment basin. The bypass dam will be at least as high as the
top of the bypass pipe plus 3 inches.
Materials to be used for the bypass dam shall include, but be not limited to concrete blocks, media
bags, sandbags, and plastic sheeting, keyed into the creek bed to limit potential underflow. The
contractor may propose other material for the bypass dam as long as it meets needs for a dam and
complies with the permit requirements. Dirt fill shall not be used to construct the bypass dam.
A second dam, plastic sheeting, portable sump pump downstream of the bypass dam shall be
installed and used to collect any water running under the bypass dam and redirect it back into the
bypass pipe. Pumping shall be required 24-hours a day to keep water from flowing to the sediment
basin
The work shall be planned and executed so the temporary bypass dam is completed early in the
morning (approx. 10:00 am), and the remainder of the day will be used for draining the sediment
basin and fish rescue.
Drain Sediment Basin
After the bypass dam is installed and the creek is diverted, the sediment basin shall be drained
using the 8-inch valves in the concrete structures. Before draining starts the Contractor will place
plastic sheeting anchored by sandbags on the bottom of th e basin, 5 to 6 feet out from the valves,
to help reduce the amount of bottom sediment that may be stirred up and discharged through the
valves.
After the water is drained as low as the valves will allow, the Contractor shall use a portable pump
to completely dewater the sediment basin. The 8-inch underdrain may also be opened to allow the
sediment to dewater. If the water from the valves is too silty to discharge to the creek other means
may be used to dewater the sediment. The contractor shall not discharge sediment laden water to
the creek.
Fish Rescue
All fish life shall be rescued from the creek and sediment basin and transferred to the downstream
creek per the HPA permit and requirements.
The City will have an environmental consultant perform fish rescue from the creek and sediment
basin. The contractor shall remain onsite during the fish rescue to ensure that the bypass dam is
functioning properly. The contractor shall coordinate and provide assistance to the environmental
company for fish rescue as needed and directed. Typical assistance may include providing a
portable gas pump with a screen meeting the HPA requirements, helping pump the basin dry,
helping net any fish in the creek and sediment basin, hauling buckets of fish as directed by the
environmental consultant, and return fish to the downstream creek.

fishpond on his property. The Contractor will be responsible for coordinating with Mr. McCarthy to
keep sediment laden water from entering his fish pond while the basin is being cleaned. The City
will assist the Contractor with coordination by notifying Mr. McCarty of the work prior to the
anticipated start date.
During the maintenance period, the Contractor will be responsible for closing the inlet valve
(located on the east side of the overflow spillway) that supplies water to the McCarty fish pond. The
valve must be closed before dewatering begins to avoid discharge of any silt laden water into the
fish pond. After the inlet valve is close, Mr. McCarty will be responsible for supplying water to his
fish pond from the creek next to his property. He usually places a small pump in the creek adjacent
to his property. The Contractor will be responsible for not disturbing Mr. McCarty’s pump, and
notifying McCarty at least 24 hours before the work starts.
Payment for “Construct Bypass Dam, Divert Creek, Rescue Fish, and Drain Sediment Basin” shall

The center section of the channel is approximately 8 to 12 feet wide and has rock berms at several
locations along across the bottom of the channel and along the sides.
In the center of the channel sediment shall be removed to expose the top of the rock berms. Along
the sides sediment must be carefully removed from between the rock berms without disturbing
them. Approximately 18- to 24-inches of the rock berms should be exposed. Some rocks may
need to be adjusted to the berms to return them to the proper shape and alignment.
The PVC liner is close to the top of backfill in this area so hand dug test holes may be needed to
verify the liner location. All adjustments for the rock berms, are considered incidental. No extra
payment will be made for any adjustments directed by the City.
PVC Liner
The contractor is responsible for protecting the PVC liner under the sediment basin and upper
channel during excavation and is responsible for repairing any damage to the liner caused by
construction. Damage could occur by not hand digging test holes to confirm the liner location,
excavating too deep, and not properly protecting the liner from potential damage from vehicle
traffic.
Any major punctures or tears shall be repaired by seaming a new PVC patch over the affected area
in accordance with manufacturer’s recommendation and industry practice. Seaming shall be done
by a company with experience in PVC liner construction and seaming. Minor tears may be repaired
by other means (tape or gluing), if approved by the City. All repair any damage to the liner resulting
from construction shall be incidental. No extra compensation will be made.
Flow Splitter
The accumulated sediment in the flow splitter basin shall be removed to match the original
elevation of the bottom of the high flow weir, and as directed by the City. In some areas
only part of the sediment shall be removed, the remaining sediment will be used to help
define the channel in the flow splitter for fish passage. The location of the rocks next to the

2-09.5 Payment
(Sediment Basin Cleaning PSP)
Section 2-09.5 is revised and supplemented with the following:
Payment will be made for the following bid items when they are included in the proposal:
“Structure Excavation Class A”, per cubic yard.
“Structure Excavation Class B”, per cubic yard.
“Structure Excavation Class A Incl. Haul”, per cubic yard.
“Structure Excavation Class B Incl. Haul”, per cubic yard.
Payment for reconstruction of surfacing and paving, within the limits of structure excavation, will be
at the applicable unit prices for the items involved.
If the Engineer orders the Contractor to excavate below the elevations shown in the Plans, the unit
contract price per cubic yard for “Structure Excavation Class A or B” will apply. But if the Contractor
excavates deeper than the Plans or the Engineer requires, the Contracting Agency will not pay for
material removed from below the required elevations. In this case, the Contractor, at no expense to
the Contracting Agency, shall replace such material with concrete or other material the Engineer
approves. The unit contract price per cubic yard for the bid items listed as 1 through 4 above shall
be full pay for all labor, materials, tools, equipment, and pumping, or shall be included in the unit
bid price of other items of Work if "Structure Excavation" or "Structure Excavation Incl Haul" are not
listed as pay items in the Contract.
“Shoring or Extra Excavation Class B”, per square foot.
The unit contract price per square foot shall be full pay for all excavation, backfill, compaction, and
other Work required when extra excavation is used in lieu of constructing shoring. If select backfill
material is required for backfilling within the limits of the structure excavation, it shall also be
required as backfill material for the extra excavation at the Contractor’s expense. Any excavation or
backfill material being paid by unit price shall be calculated by the Engineer only for the neat line
measurement of the excavation and shall not include the extra excavation beyond the neat line.
If there is no bid item for shoring or extra excavation Class B on a square foot basis and the nature
of the excavation is such that shoring or extra excavation is required as determined by the Engineer,
then shoring or extra excavation shall be considered incidental to the Work involved and no further
compensation shall be made.
“Gravel Backfill (Kind) for (Type of Excavation)”, per cubic yard or per ton.
When gravel backfill is paid by the ton, the Contractor shall take care to assure to the satisfaction of
the Engineer that such per ton backfill is only being used for the specified purpose and not for

25. Deposit waste material from the project, such as construction debris, silt, excess dirt, or overburden, in an upland
area above the limits of anticipated floodwater unless the material is approved by the Washington Department of Fish
and Wildlife for reuse in the project.
26. Deposit all trash from the project at an appropriate upland disposal location.
IN-WATER WORK AREA ISOLATION USING A TEMPORARY BYPASS
27. Design the temporary bypass to minimize the length of the dewatered stream channel.
28. Sequence the work to minimize the duration of dewatering.
29. Isolate fish from the work area by using either a total or partial bypass to reroute the stream through a temporary
channel or pipe.
30. Use the least-impacting feasible method to temporarily bypass water from the work area. Consider the physical
characteristics of the site and the anticipated volume of water flowing through the work area.
31. Install a cofferdam or similar device at the upstream and downstream end of the bypass to prevent backwater from
entering the work area.
32. If the diversion inlet is a gravity diversion that provides fish passage, place the diversion outlet where it facilitates
gradual and safe reentry of fish into the stream channel.
33. If the bypass is a pumped diversion, once started it must run continuously until it is no longer necessary to bypass
flows. This requires back-up pumps on-site and twenty-four-hour monitoring for overnight operation.
34. If the diversion inlet is a pump diversion in a fish-bearing stream, the pump intake structure must have a fish screen
installed, operated, and maintained in accordance with RCW 77.57.010 and 77.57.070. Screen the pump intake with
one of the following:
a) Perforated plate: 0.094 inch (maximum opening diameter);
b) Profile bar: 0.069 inch (maximum width opening); or
c) Woven wire: 0.087 inch (maximum opening in the narrow direction).
The minimum open area for all types of fish screens is twenty-seven percent. The screened intake facility must have
enough surface area to ensure that the velocity through the screen is less than 0.4 feet per second. Maintain fish
screens to prevent injury or entrapment of fish.
35. The fish screen must remain in place whenever water is withdrawn from the stream through the pump intake.
36. Return water flow slowly to the in-water work area to prevent the downstream release of sediment laden water. If
necessary, install silt fencing above the bypass outlet to capture sediment during re-watering of the channel.
37. During all phases of bypass installation and decommissioning, maintain flows downstream of the project site to
ensure survival of all downstream fish.
38. To minimize sediment delivery to the stream or stream channel, do not return in-stream flows to the work area until
all in-channel work is completed and the bed and banks are stabilized.
39. Return diverted water to the channel immediately downstream of the work area. Dissipate flow energy from the
diversion to prevent scour or erosion of the channel and bank.
40. The approved bypass method includes the use of an existing bypass pipe combined with placement of a temporary
cofferdam at the upstream end of the project (and a cofferdam downstream if needed to prevent backwatering of the
project area).
FISH LIFE REMOVAL
41. All persons participating in capture and removal must have training, knowledge, and skills in the safe handling of
fish life.

42. If electrofishing is conducted, a person with electrofishing training must be on-site to conduct or direct all
electrofishing activities.
43. Capture and safely move fish life from the work area to the nearest suitable free-flowing water.
SEDIMENT REMOVAL
44. Work in the dry water-course (when no natural flow is occurring in the channel, or when flow is diverted around the
job site).
45. Do not remove streambed sediment in fish spawning areas except to remove clumps of vegetation from the
channel. For the purpose of this HPA, spawning areas are defined as portions of the streambed with rounded gravel
deposits.
46. Accomplish dredging by starting at the upstream end of the job site boundary and working downstream.
47. Limit dredging to deepening the streambed (re-establishing original pond grades). Do not disturb the banks.
48. To avoid fish stranding, the bed must not contain pits, potholes, or large depressions upon completion of the
dredging.
MADSEN CREEK SEDIMENT POND AND MAPLEWOOD SEDIMENT POND
49. Prior to removing sediment from the Maplewood Sediment Pond, the city must meet with the Habitat Biologist to
walk the downstream channel of Maplewood Creek and determine the condition of the stream. Meeting will determine
what, if any, mitigation will be needed to offset the impacts of removing sediment.
50. To minimize sediment delivery to the stream or stream channel, do not return in-stream flows to the work area until
all in-channel work is completed and the bed and banks are stabilized. Return water flow slowly to the in-water work
area to prevent the downstream release of sediment laden water. If necessary, install silt fencing above the bypass
outlet to capture sediment during re-watering of the channel.
51. All pieces of wood that have accumulated in the sediment pond that meet the definition of large woody material
(trees or tree parts larger than four inches in diameter and longer than six feet, or rootwads, wholly or partially
waterward of the ordinary high water line) must be relocated downstream of the sediment pond below the ordinary high
water line. Large woody material may only be cut into smaller pieces to allow repositioning. Any large woody material
pieces cut must be left in as least six-foot-long sections, with 20-foot-long sections preferred.
LARGE WOODY MATERIAL
52. All natural non-embedded large woody material waterward of the OHWL must be retained intact, but may be
repositioned if necessary. If non-embedded woody material must be moved:
a. All woody material must be repositioned below the OHWL or floated free immediately downstream of the work site to
provide functional fish habitat.
b. Large woody material must not be destroyed or reduced in value as fish habitat. Large woody material must not be
cut into smaller pieces. Root wads must not be removed from the trunk (bole). Boles must not be reduced in size.
c. Natural woody material that is smaller than large woody material may be, in order of preference, repositioned within
the stream, floated downstream, deposited on the bank or removed and used at a restoration site within the same
watershed.
d. If releasing or repositioning large woody material downstream of a worksite could create an unsafe hazard to life, the
public, property or roadway infrastructure, the large woody material may be placed below the OHWL at another location
within the same waterbody.
e. If cutting or removal of large woody material is proposed, the work must be permitted under a separate HPA.
53. Do not disturb large woody material embedded in a bank or bed except as approved by the Washington
Department of Fish and Wildlife.
54. Large woody material repositioning must be accomplished in a manner that minimizes the release of bedload, logs,
or debris downstream.

APPLY TO ALL HYDRAULIC PROJECT APPROVALS
This Hydraulic Project Approval pertains only to those requirements of the Washington State Hydraulic Code,
specifically Chapter 77.55 RCW. Additional authorization from other public agencies may be necessary for this project.
The person(s) to whom this Hydraulic Project Approval is issued is responsible for applying for and obtaining any
additional authorization from other public agencies (local, state and/or federal) that may be necessary for this project.
This Hydraulic Project Approval shall be available on the job site at all times and all its provisions followed by the person
(s) to whom this Hydraulic Project Approval is issued and operator(s) performing the work.
This Hydraulic Project Approval does not authorize trespass.
The person(s) to whom this Hydraulic Project Approval is issued and operator(s) performing the work may be held liable
for any loss or damage to fish life or fish habitat that results from failure to comply with the provisions of this Hydraulic
Project Approval.
Failure to comply with the provisions of this Hydraulic Project Approval could result in civil action against you, including,
but not limited to, a stop work order or notice to comply, and/or a gross misdemeanor criminal charge, possibly
punishable by fine and/or imprisonment.
All Hydraulic Project Approvals issued under RCW 77.55.021 are subject to additional restrictions, conditions, or
revocation if the Department of Fish and Wildlife determines that changed conditions require such action. The person(s)
to whom this Hydraulic Project Approval is issued has the right to appeal those decisions. Procedures for filing appeals
are listed below.
MINOR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS HPA: You may request approval of minor modifications to the required work timing
or to the plans and specifications approved in this HPA unless this is a General HPA. If this is a General HPA you must
use the Major Modification process described below. Any approved minor modification will require issuance of a letter
documenting the approval. A minor modification to the required work timing means any change to the work start or end
dates of the current work season to enable project or work phase completion. Minor modifications will be approved only
if spawning or incubating fish are not present within the vicinity of the project. You may request subsequent minor
modifications to the required work timing. A minor modification of the plans and specifications means any changes in the
materials, characteristics or construction of your project that does not alter the project's impact to fish life or habitat and
does not require a change in the provisions of the HPA to mitigate the impacts of the modification. If you originally
applied for your HPA through the online Aquatic Protection Permitting System (APPS), you may request a minor
modification through APPS. A link to APPS is at http://wdfw.wa.gov/licensing/hpa/. If you did not use APPS you must
submit a written request that clearly indicates you are seeking a minor modification to an existing HPA. Written requests
must include the name of the applicant, the name of the authorized agent if one is acting for the applicant, the APP ID
number of the HPA, the date issued, the permitting biologist, the requested changes to the HPA, the reason for the
requested change, the date of the request, and the requestor's signature. Send by mail to: Washington Department of
Fish and Wildlife, PO Box 43234, Olympia, Washington 98504-3234, or by email to HPAapplications@dfw.wa.gov. You
should allow up to 45 days for the department to process your request.

APPEALS INFORMATION
If you wish to appeal the issuance, denial, conditioning, or modification of a Hydraulic Project Approval (HPA),
Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) recommends that you first contact the department employee who
issued or denied the HPA to discuss your concerns. Such a discussion may resolve your concerns without the need for
further appeal action. If you proceed with an appeal, you may request an informal or formal appeal. WDFW encourages
you to take advantage of the informal appeal process before initiating a formal appeal. The informal appeal process
includes a review by department management of the HPA or denial and often resolves issues faster and with less legal
complexity than the formal appeal process. If the informal appeal process does not resolve your concerns, you may
advance your appeal to the formal process. You may contact the HPA Appeals Coordinator at (360) 902-2534 for more
information.
A. INFORMAL APPEALS: WAC 220-660-460 is the rule describing how to request an informal appeal of WDFW actions
taken under Chapter 77.55 RCW. Please refer to that rule for complete informal appeal procedures. The following
information summarizes that rule.
A person who is aggrieved by the issuance, denial, conditioning, or modification of an HPA may request an informal
appeal of that action. You must send your request to WDFW by mail to the HPA Appeals Coordinator, Department of
Fish and Wildlife, Habitat Program, PO Box 43234, Olympia, Washington 98504-3234; e-mail to
HPAapplications@dfw.wa.gov; fax to (360) 902-2946; or hand-delivery to the Natural Resources Building, 1111
Washington St SE, Habitat Program, Fifth floor. WDFW must receive your request within 30 days from the date you
receive notice of the decision. If you agree, and you applied for the HPA, resolution of the appeal may be facilitated
through an informal conference with the WDFW employee responsible for the decision and a supervisor. If a resolution
is not reached through the informal conference, or you are not the person who applied for the HPA, the HPA Appeals
Coordinator or designee may conduct an informal hearing or review and recommend a decision to the Director or
designee. If you are not satisfied with the results of the informal appeal, you may file a request for a formal appeal.
B. FORMAL APPEALS: WAC 220-660-470 is the rule describing how to request a formal appeal of WDFW actions
taken under Chapter 77.55 RCW. Please refer to that rule for complete formal appeal procedures. The following
information summarizes that rule.

B. U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) National General Conditions for All Final 41 NWPs
C. Seattle District Regional General Conditions
D. Seattle District Regional Specific Conditions for this Nationwide Permit (NWP)
E. 401 Water Quality Certification (401 WQC) for this NWP
F. Coastal Zone Management Consistency Response for this NWP
In addition to any special condition that may be required on a case-by-case basis by the District Engineer,
the following terms and conditions must be met, as applicable, for a Nationwide Permit (NWP) authorization
to be valid in Washington State.
A. DESCRIPTION OF AUTHORIZED ACTIVITIES
3. Maintenance. (a) The repair, rehabilitation, or replacement of any previously authorized, currently
serviceable structure or fill, or of any currently serviceable structure or fill authorized by 33 CFR 330.3,
provided that the structure or fill is not to be put to uses differing from those uses specified or
contemplated for it in the original permit or the most recently authorized modification. Minor deviations in
the structure's configuration or filled area, including those due to changes in materials, construction
techniques, requirements of other regulatory agencies, or current construction codes or safety standards
that are necessary to make the repair, rehabilitation, or replacement are authorized. This NWP also
authorizes the removal of previously authorized structures or fills. Any stream channel modification is
limited to the minimum necessary for the repair, rehabilitation, or replacement of the structure or fill; such
modifications, including the removal of material from the stream channel, must be immediately adjacent to
the project. This NWP also authorizes the removal of accumulated sediment and debris within, and in the
immediate vicinity of, the structure or fill. This NWP also authorizes the repair, rehabilitation, or
replacement of those structures or fills destroyed or damaged by storms, floods, fire or other discrete
events, provided the repair, rehabilitation, or replacement is commenced, or is under contract to
commence, within two years of the date of their destruction or damage. In cases of catastrophic events,
such as hurricanes or tornadoes, this two-year limit may be waived by the district engineer, provided the
permittee can demonstrate funding, contract, or other similar delays.
(b) This NWP also authorizes the removal of accumulated sediments and debris outside the immediate
vicinity of existing structures (e.g., bridges, culverted road crossings, water intake structures, etc.). The
removal of sediment is limited to the minimum necessary to restore the waterway in the vicinity of the
structure to the approximate dimensions that existed when the structure was built, but cannot extend
farther than 200 feet in any direction from the structure. This 200 foot limit does not apply to maintenance
dredging to remove accumulated sediments blocking or restricting outfall and intake structures or to
maintenance dredging to remove accumulated sediments from canals associated with outfall and intake
structures. All dredged or excavated materials must be deposited and retained in an area that has no
waters of the United States unless otherwise specifically approved by the district engineer under separate
authorization.
(c) This NWP also authorizes temporary structures, fills, and work, including the use o f temporary mats,
necessary to conduct the maintenance activity. Appropriate measures must be taken to maintain normal
downstream flows and minimize flooding to the maximum extent practicable, when temporary structures,
work, and discharges of dredged or fill material, including cofferdams, are necessary for construction
activities, access fills, or dewatering of construction sites. Temporary fills must consist of materials, and
be placed in a manner, that will not be eroded by expected high flows. After conducting the maintenance
activity, temporary fills must be removed in their entirety and the affected areas returned to pre-
construction elevations. The areas affected by temporary fills must be revegetated, as appropriate.
2
(d) This NWP does not authorize maintenance dredging for the primary purpose of navigation. This NWP
does not authorize beach restoration. This NWP does not authorize new stream channelization or stream
relocation projects.
Notification: For activities authorized by paragraph (b) of this NWP, the permittee must submit a pre-
construction notification to the district engineer prior to commencing the activity (see general condition
32). The pre-construction notification must include information regarding the original design capacities
and configurations of the outfalls, intakes, small impoundments, and canals. (Authorities: Section 10 of
the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899 and Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (Sections 10 and 404))
Note: This NWP authorizes the repair, rehabilitation, or replacement of any previously authorized
structure or fill that does not qualify for the Clean Water Act Section 404(f) exemption for maintenance.
B. CORPS NATIONAL GENERAL CONDITIONS FOR ALL 2021 NWPs - FINAL 41
Note: To qualify for NWP authorization, the prospective permittee must comply with the following general
conditions, as applicable, in addition to any regional or case-specific conditions imposed by the division
engineer or district engineer. Prospective permittees should contact the appropriate Corps district office to
determine if regional conditions have been imposed on an NWP. Prospective permittees should also
contact the appropriate Corps district office to determine the status of Clean Water Act Section 401 water
quality certification and/or Coastal Zone Management Act consistency for an NWP. Every person who
may wish to obtain permit authorization under one or more NWPs, or who is currently relying on an
existing or prior permit authorization under one or more NWPs, has been and is on notice that all of the
provisions of 33 CFR 330.1 through 330.6 apply to every NWP authorization. Note especially 33 CFR
330.5 relating to the modification, suspension, or revocation of any NWP authorization.
1. Navigation. (a) No activity may cause more than a minimal adverse effect on navigation.
(b) Any safety lights and signals prescribed by the U.S. Coast Guard, through regulations or otherwise,
must be installed and maintained at the permittee's expense on authorized faciliti es in navigable waters of
the United States.
(c) The permittee understands and agrees that, if future operations by the United States require the
removal, relocation, or other alteration, of the structure or work herein authorized, or if, in the opinion o f
the Secretary of the Army or his or her authorized representative, said structure or work shall cause
unreasonable obstruction to the free navigation of the navigable waters, the permittee will be required,
upon due notice from the Corps of Engineers, to remove, relocate, or alter the structural work or
obstructions caused thereby, without expense to the United States. No claim shall be made against the
United States on account of any such removal or alteration.
2. Aquatic Life Movements. No activity may substantially disrupt the necessary life cycle movements of
those species of aquatic life indigenous to the waterbody, including those species that normally migrate
through the area, unless the activity's primary purpose is to impound water. All permanent and temporary
crossings of waterbodies shall be suitably culverted, bridged, or otherwise designed and constructed to
maintain low flows to sustain the movement of those aquatic species. If a bottomless culvert cannot be
used, then the crossing should be designed and constructed to minimize adverse effects to aquatic life
movements.
3. Spawning Areas. Activities in spawning areas during spawning seasons must be avoided to the
maximum extent practicable. Activities that result in the physical destruct ion (e.g., through excavation, fill,
or downstream smothering by substantial turbidity) of an important spawning area are not authorized.
4. Migratory Bird Breeding Areas. Activities in waters of the United States that serve as breeding areas for
migratory birds must be avoided to the maximum extent practicable.
3
5. Shellfish Beds. No activity may occur in areas of concentrated shellfish populations, unless the activity
is directly related to a shellfish harvesting activity authorized by NWPs 4 and 48, or is a shellfish seeding
or habitat restoration activity authorized by NWP 27.
6. Suitable Material. No activity may use unsuitable material (e.g., trash, debris, car bodies, asphalt, etc.).
Material used for construction or discharged must be free from toxic pollutants in toxic amounts (see
section 307 of the Clean Water Act).
7. Water Supply Intakes. No activity may occur in the proximity of a public water supply intake, except
where the activity is for the repair or improvement of public water supply int ake structures or adjacent
bank stabilization.
8. Adverse Effects From Impoundments. If the activity creates an impoundment of water, adverse effects
to the aquatic system due to accelerating the passage of water, and/or restricting its flow must be
minimized to the maximum extent practicable.
9. Management of Water Flows. To the maximum extent practicable, the pre-construction course,
condition, capacity, and location of open waters must be maintained for each activity, including stream
channelization, storm water management activities, and temporary and permanent road crossings, except
as provided below. The activity must be constructed to withstand expected high flows. The activity must
not restrict or impede the passage of normal or high flows, unless the primary purpose of the activity is to
impound water or manage high flows. The activity may alter the pre-construction course, condition,
capacity, and location of open waters if it benefits the aquatic environment (e.g., stream restoration or
relocation activities).
10. Fills Within 100-Year Floodplains. The activity must comply with applicable FEMA-approved state or
local floodplain management requirements.
11. Equipment. Heavy equipment working in wetlands or mudflats must be placed on mats, or other
measures must be taken to minimize soil disturbance.
12. Soil Erosion and Sediment Controls. Appropriate soil erosion and sediment controls must be used
and maintained in effective operating condition during construction, and all exposed soil and other fills, as
well as any work below the ordinary high water mark or high tide line, must be permanently stabilized at
the earliest practicable date. Permittees are encouraged to perform work within waters of the United
States during periods of low-flow or no-flow, or during low tides.
13. Removal of Temporary Structures and Fills. Temporary structures must be removed, to the maximum
extent practicable, after their use has been discontinued. Temporary fills must be removed in their entirety
and the affected areas returned to pre-construction elevations. The affected areas must be revegetated,
as appropriate.
14. Proper Maintenance. Any authorized structure or fill shall be properly maintained, including
maintenance to ensure public safety and compliance with applicable NWP general conditions, as well as
any activity-specific conditions added by the district engineer to an NWP authorization.
15. Single and Complete Project. The activity must be a single and complete project. The same NWP
cannot be used more than once for the same single and complete project.
16. Wild and Scenic Rivers. (a) No NWP activity may occur in a component of the National Wild and
Scenic River System, or in a river officially designated by Congress as a “study river” for possible
inclusion in the system while the river is in an official study status, unless the appropriate Federal agency
with direct management responsibility for such river, has determined in writing that the proposed activity
will not adversely affect the Wild and Scenic River designation or study status.
(b) If a proposed NWP activity will occur in a component of the National Wild and Scenic River System, or
in a river officially designated by Congress as a “study river” for possible inclusion in the system while the
4
river is in an official study status, the permittee must submit a pre-construction notification (see general
condition 32). The district engineer will coordinate the PCN with the Federal agency with direct
management responsibility for that river. Permittees shall not begin the NWP activity until notified by the
district engineer that the Federal agency with direct management responsibility for that river has
determined in writing that the proposed NWP activity will not adversely affect the Wild and Scenic River
designation or study status.
(c) Information on Wild and Scenic Rivers may be obtained from the appropriate Federal land
management agency responsible for the designated Wild and Scenic River or study river (e.g., National
Park Service, U.S. Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service).
Information on these rivers is also available at: http://www.rivers.gov/.
17. Tribal Rights. No activity or its operation may impair reserved tribal rights, including, but not limited to,
reserved water rights and treaty fishing and hunting rights.
18. Endangered Species. (a) No activity is authorized under any NWP which is likely to directly or
indirectly jeopardize the continued existence of a threatened or endangered species or a species
proposed for such designation, as identified under the Federal Endangered Species Act (ESA), or which
will directly or indirectly destroy or adversely modify designated critical habitat or critical habitat proposed
for such designation. No activity is authorized under any NWP which “may affect” a listed species or
critical habitat, unless ESA section 7 consultation addressing the consequences of the proposed activity
on listed species or critical habitat has been completed. See 50 CFR 402.02 for the definition of “effects
of the action” for the purposes of ESA section 7 consultation, as well as 50 CFR 402.17, which provides
further explanation under ESA section 7 regarding “activities that are reasonably certain to occur” and
“consequences caused by the proposed action.”
(b) Federal agencies should follow their own procedures for complying with the requirements of the ESA
(see 33 CFR 330.4(f)(1)). If pre-construction notification is required for the proposed activity, the Federal
permittee must provide the district engineer with the appropriate documentation to demonstrate
compliance with those requirements. The district engineer will verify that the appropriate documentation
has been submitted. If the appropriate documentation has not been submitted, additional ESA section 7
consultation may be necessary for the activity and the respective federal agency would be responsible for
fulfilling its obligation under section 7 of the ESA.
(c) Non-federal permittees must submit a pre-construction notification to the district engineer if any listed
species (or species proposed for listing) or designated critical habitat (or critical habitat proposed such
designation) might be affected or is in the vicinity of the activity, or if the activity is located in designated
critical habitat or critical habitat proposed for such designation, and shall not begin work on the activity
until notified by the district engineer that the requirements of the ESA have been satisfied and that the
activity is authorized. For activities that might affect Federally -listed endangered or threatened species (or
species proposed for listing) or designated critical habitat (or critical habitat proposed for such
designation), the pre-construction notification must include the name(s) of the endangered or threatened
species (or species proposed for listing) that might be affected by the proposed activity or that utilize the
designated critical habitat (or critical habitat proposed for such designation) that might be affecte d by the
proposed activity. The district engineer will determine whether the proposed activity “may affect” or will
have “no effect” to listed species and designated critical habitat and will notify the non-Federal applicant
of the Corps’ determination within 45 days of receipt of a complete pre-construction notification. For
activities where the non-Federal applicant has identified listed species (or species proposed for listing) or
designated critical habitat (or critical habitat proposed for such designation) that might be affected or is in
the vicinity of the activity, and has so notified the Corps, the applicant shall not begin work until the Corps
has provided notification that the proposed activity will have “no effect” on listed species (or species
proposed for listing or designated critical habitat (or critical habitat proposed for such designation), or until
ESA section 7 consultation or conference has been completed. If the non-Federal applicant has not heard
back from the Corps within 45 days, the applicant must still wait for notification from the Corps.
(d) As a result of formal or informal consultation or conference with the FWS or NMFS the district
engineer may add species-specific permit conditions to the NWPs.
5
(e) Authorization of an activity by an NWP does not authorize the “take” of a threatened or endangered
species as defined under the ESA. In the absence of separate authorization (e.g., an ESA Section 10
Permit, a Biological Opinion with “incidental take” provisions, etc.) from the FWS or the NMFS, the
Endangered Species Act prohibits any person subject to the jurisdiction of the United States to take a
listed species, where "take" means to harass, harm, pursue, hunt, shoot, wound, kill, trap, capture, or
collect, or to attempt to engage in any such conduct. The word “harm” in the definition of “take'' means an
act which actually kills or injures wildlife. Such an act may include significant habitat modification or
degradation where it actually kills or injures wildlife by significantly impairing essential behavioral patterns,
including breeding, feeding or sheltering.
(f) If the non-federal permittee has a valid ESA section 10(a)(1)(B) incidental take permit with an
approved Habitat Conservation Plan for a project or a group of projects that includes the proposed NWP
activity, the non-federal applicant should provide a copy of that ESA section 10(a)(1)(B) permit with the
PCN required by paragraph (c) of this general condition. The district engineer will coordinate with the
agency that issued the ESA section 10(a)(1)(B) permit to determine whether the proposed NWP activity
and the associated incidental take were considered in the internal ESA section 7 consultation conducted
for the ESA section 10(a)(1)(B) permit. If that coordination results in concurrence from the agency that
the proposed NWP activity and the associated incidental take were considered in the internal ESA section
7 consultation for the ESA section 10(a)(1)(B) permit, the district engineer does not need to conduct a
separate ESA section 7 consultation for the proposed NWP activity. The district engineer will notify the
non-federal applicant within 45 days of receipt of a complete pre-construction notification whether the
ESA section 10(a)(1)(B) permit covers the proposed NWP activity or whether additional ESA section 7
consultation is required.
(g) Information on the location of threatened and endangered species and their critical habitat can be
obtained directly from the offices of the FWS and NMFS or their world wide web pages at
http://www.fws.gov/ or http://www.fws.gov/ipac and http://www.nmfs.noaa.gov/pr/species/esa/
respectively.
19. Migratory Birds and Bald and Golden Eagles. The permittee is responsible for ensuring that an action
authorized by an NWP complies with the Migratory Bird Treaty Act and the Bald and Golden Eagle
Protection Act. The permittee is responsible for contacting the appropriate local office of the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service to determine what measures, if any, are necessary or appropriate to reduce adverse
effects to migratory birds or eagles, including whether "incidental take" permits are necessary and
available under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act or Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act for a particular
activity.
20. Historic Properties. (a) No activity is authorized under any NWP which may have the potential to
cause effects to properties listed, or eligible for listing, in the National Register of Historic Places until the
requirements of Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) have been satisfied.
(b) Federal permittees should follow their own procedures for complying with the requirements of section
106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (see 33 CFR 330.4(g)(1)). If pre-construction notification is
required for the proposed NWP activity, the Federal permittee must provide the district engineer with the
appropriate documentation to demonstrate compliance with those requirements. The district engineer will
verify that the appropriate documentation has been submitted. If the appropriate documentation is not
submitted, then additional consultation under section 106 may be necessary. The respective federal
agency is responsible for fulfilling its obligation to comply with section 106.
(c) Non-federal permittees must submit a pre-construction notification to the district engineer if the NWP
activity might have the potential to cause effects to any historic properties listed on, determined to be
eligible for listing on, or potentially eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places, including
previously unidentified properties. For such activities, the pre-construction notification must state which
historic properties might have the potential to be affected by the proposed NWP activity or include a
vicinity map indicating the location of the historic properties or the potential for the presence of historic
properties. Assistance regarding information on the location of, or potential for, the presence of historic
6
properties can be sought from the State Historic Preservation Officer, Tribal Historic Preservation Officer,
or designated tribal representative, as appropriate, and the National Register of Historic Places (see 33
CFR 330.4(g)). When reviewing pre-construction notifications, district engineers will comply with the
current procedures for addressing the requirements of section 106 of the National Historic Preservation
Act. The district engineer shall make a reasonable and good faith effort to carry out appropriate
identification efforts commensurate with potential impacts, which may include background research,
consultation, oral history interviews, sample field investigation, and/or field survey. Based on the
information submitted in the PCN and these identification efforts, the district engineer shall determine
whether the proposed NWP activity has the potential to cause effects on the historic properties. Section
106 consultation is not required when the district engineer determines that the activity does not have the
potential to cause effects on historic properties (see 36 CFR 800.3(a)). Section 106 consultation is
required when the district engineer determines that the activity has the potential to cause effects on
historic properties. The district engineer will conduct consultation with consulting parties identified under
36 CFR 800.2(c) when he or she makes any of the following effect determinations for the purposes of
section 106 of the NHPA: no historic properties affected, no adverse effect, or adverse effect.
(d) Where the non-Federal applicant has identified historic properties on which the proposed NWP
activity might have the potential to cause effects and has so notified the Corps, the non -Federal applicant
shall not begin the activity until notified by the district engineer either that the activity has no potential to
cause effects to historic properties or that NHPA section 106 consultation has been completed. For non-
federal permittees, the district engineer will notify the prospective permittee within 45 days of receipt of a
complete pre-construction notification whether NHPA section 106 consultation is required. If NHPA
section 106 consultation is required, the district engineer will notify the non -Federal applicant that he or
she cannot begin the activity until section 106 consultation is completed. If the non -Federal applicant has
not heard back from the Corps within 45 days, the applicant must still wait for notification from the Corps.
(e) Prospective permittees should be aware that section 110k of the NHPA (54 U.S.C. 306113) prevents
the Corps from granting a permit or other assistance to an applicant who, with intent to avoid the
requirements of section 106 of the NHPA, has intentionally significantly adversely affected a historic
property to which the permit would relate, or having legal power to prevent it, allowed such significant
adverse effect to occur, unless the Corps, after consultation with the Advisory Council on Historic
Preservation (ACHP), determines that circumstances justify granting such assistance despite the adverse
effect created or permitted by the applicant. If circumstances justify granting the assistance, the Corps is
required to notify the ACHP and provide documentation specifying the circumstances, the degree of
damage to the integrity of any historic properties affected, and proposed mitigation. This documentation
must include any views obtained from the applicant, SHPO/THPO, appropriate Indian tribes if the
undertaking occurs on or affects historic properties on tribal lands or affects properties of interest to those
tribes, and other parties known to have a legitimate interest in the impacts to the permitted activity on
historic properties.
21. Discovery of Previously Unknown Remains and Artifacts. Permittees that discover any previously
unknown historic, cultural or archeological remains and artifacts while accomplishing the activity
authorized by an NWP, they must immediately notify the district engineer of what they have found, and to
the maximum extent practicable, avoid construction activities that may affect the remains and artifacts
until the required coordination has been completed. The district engineer will initiate the Federal, Tribal,
and state coordination required to determine if the items or remains warrant a reco very effort or if the site
is eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places.
22. Designated Critical Resource Waters. Critical resource waters include, NOAA-managed marine
sanctuaries and marine monuments, and National Estuarine Research Reserves. The district engineer
may designate, after notice and opportunity for public comment, additional waters officially designated by
a state as having particular environmental or ecological significance, such as outstanding national
resource waters or state natural heritage sites. The district engineer may also designate additional critical
resource waters after notice and opportunity for public comment.
7
(a) Discharges of dredged or fill material into waters of the United States are not authorized by NWPs 7,
12, 14, 16, 17, 21, 29, 31, 35, 39, 40, 42, 43, 44, 49, 50, 51, 52, 57 and 58 for any activity within, or
directly affecting, critical resource waters, including wetlands adjacent to such waters.
(b) For NWPs 3, 8, 10, 13, 15, 18, 19, 22, 23, 25, 27, 28, 30, 33, 34, 36, 37, 38, and 54, notification is
required in accordance with general condition 32, for any activity proposed by permittees in the
designated critical resource waters including wetlands adjacent to those waters. The district engin eer may
authorize activities under these NWPs only after she or he determines that the impacts to the critical
resource waters will be no more than minimal.
23. Mitigation. The district engineer will consider the following factors when determining appropr iate and
practicable mitigation necessary to ensure that the individual and cumulative adverse environmental
effects are no more than minimal:
(a) The activity must be designed and constructed to avoid and minimize adverse effects, both temporary
and permanent, to waters of the United States to the maximum extent practicable at the project site (i.e.,
on site).
(b) Mitigation in all its forms (avoiding, minimizing, rectifying, reducing, or compensating for resource
losses) will be required to the extent necessary to ensure that the individual and cumulative adverse
environmental effects are no more than minimal.
(c) Compensatory mitigation at a minimum one-for-one ratio will be required for all wetland losses that
exceed 1/10-acre and require pre-construction notification, unless the district engineer determines in
writing that either some other form of mitigation would be more environmentally appropriate or the
adverse environmental effects of the proposed activity are no more than minimal, and provides a n
activity-specific waiver of this requirement. For wetland losses of 1/10-acre or less that require pre-
construction notification, the district engineer may determine on a case -by-case basis that compensatory
mitigation is required to ensure that the activity results in only minimal adverse environmental effects.
(d) Compensatory mitigation at a minimum one-for-one ratio will be required for all losses of stream bed
that exceed 3/100-acre and require pre-construction notification, unless the district eng ineer determines
in writing that either some other form of mitigation would be more environmentally appropriate or the
adverse environmental effects of the proposed activity are no more than minimal, and provides an
activity-specific waiver of this requirement. This compensatory mitigation requirement may be satisfied
through the restoration or enhancement of riparian areas next to streams in accordance with paragraph
(e) of this general condition. For losses of stream bed of 3/100-acre or less that require pre-construction
notification, the district engineer may determine on a case-by-case basis that compensatory mitigation is
required to ensure that the activity results in only minimal adverse environmental effects. Compensatory
mitigation for losses of streams should be provided, if practicable, through stream rehabilitation,
enhancement, or preservation, since streams are difficult-to-replace resources (see 33 CFR 332.3(e)(3)).
(e) Compensatory mitigation plans for NWP activities in or near streams or other open waters will
normally include a requirement for the restoration or enhancement, maintenance, and legal protection
(e.g., conservation easements) of riparian areas next to open waters. In some cases, the restoration or
maintenance/protection of riparian areas may be the only compensatory mitigation required. If restoring
riparian areas involves planting vegetation, only native species should be planted. The width of the
required riparian area will address documented water quality or aquatic habitat loss concerns. Normally,
the riparian area will be 25 to 50 feet wide on each side of the stream, but the district engineer may
require slightly wider riparian areas to address documented water quality or habitat loss concerns. If it is
not possible to restore or maintain/protect a riparian area on both sides of a stream, or if the waterbody is
a lake or coastal waters, then restoring or maintaining/protecting a riparian area along a single bank or
shoreline may be sufficient. Where both wetlands and open waters exist on the project site, the district
engineer will determine the appropriate compensatory mitigation (e.g., riparian areas and/or wetlands
compensation) based on what is best for the aquatic environment on a watershed basis. In cases where
riparian areas are determined to be the most appropriate form of minimization or compensatory
8
mitigation, the district engineer may waive or reduce the requirement to provide wetland compensatory
mitigation for wetland losses.
(f) Compensatory mitigation projects provided to offset losses of aquatic resources must comply with the
applicable provisions of 33 CFR part 332.
(1) The prospective permittee is responsible for proposing an appro priate compensatory mitigation option
if compensatory mitigation is necessary to ensure that the activity results in no more than minimal
adverse environmental effects. For the NWPs, the preferred mechanism for providing compensatory
mitigation is mitigation bank credits or in-lieu fee program credits (see 33 CFR 332.3(b)(2) and (3)).
However, if an appropriate number and type of mitigation bank or in-lieu credits are not available at the
time the PCN is submitted to the district engineer, the district engineer may approve the use of permittee-
responsible mitigation.
(2) The amount of compensatory mitigation required by the district engineer must be sufficient to ensure
that the authorized activity results in no more than minimal individual and cumulative adverse
environmental effects (see 33 CFR 330.1(e)(3)). (See also 33 CFR 332.3(f).)
(3) Since the likelihood of success is greater and the impacts to potentially valuable uplands are reduced,
aquatic resource restoration should be the first compensatory mitigation option considered for permittee-
responsible mitigation.
(4) If permittee-responsible mitigation is the proposed option, the prospective permittee is responsible for
submitting a mitigation plan. A conceptual or detailed mitigation plan may be used by the district engineer
to make the decision on the NWP verification request, but a final mitigation plan that addresses the
applicable requirements of 33 CFR 332.4(c)(2) through (14) must be approved by the district engineer
before the permittee begins work in waters of the United States, unless the district engineer determines
that prior approval of the final mitigation plan is not practicable or not necessary to ensure timely
completion of the required compensatory mitigation (see 33 CFR 332.3(k)(3)). If permittee-responsible
mitigation is the proposed option, and the proposed compensatory mitigation site is located on land in
which another federal agency holds an easement, the district engineer will coordinate with that federal
agency to determine if proposed compensatory mitigation project is compatible with the terms of the
easement.
(5) If mitigation bank or in-lieu fee program credits are the proposed option, the mitigation plan needs to
address only the baseline conditions at the impact site and the number of credits to be provided (see 33
CFR 332.4(c)(1)(ii)).
(6) Compensatory mitigation requirements (e.g., resource type and amount to be provided as
compensatory mitigation, site protection, ecological performance standards, monitoring requirements)
may be addressed through conditions added to the NWP authorization, instead of components of a
compensatory mitigation plan (see 33 CFR 332.4(c)(1)(ii)).
(g) Compensatory mitigation will not be used to increase the acreage losses allowed by the ac reage limits
of the NWPs. For example, if an NWP has an acreage limit of 1/2-acre, it cannot be used to authorize any
NWP activity resulting in the loss of greater than 1/2-acre of waters of the United States, even if
compensatory mitigation is provided that replaces or restores some of the lost waters. However,
compensatory mitigation can and should be used, as necessary, to ensure that an NWP activity already
meeting the established acreage limits also satisfies the no more than minimal impact requirement for the
NWPs.
(h) Permittees may propose the use of mitigation banks, in-lieu fee programs, or permittee-responsible
mitigation. When developing a compensatory mitigation proposal, the permittee must consider
appropriate and practicable options consistent with the framework at 33 CFR 332.3(b). For activities
resulting in the loss of marine or estuarine resources, permittee-responsible mitigation may be
environmentally preferable if there are no mitigation banks or in-lieu fee programs in the area that have
marine or estuarine credits available for sale or transfer to the permittee. For permittee -responsible
9
mitigation, the special conditions of the NWP verification must clearly indicate the party or parties
responsible for the implementation and performance of the compensatory mitigation project, and, if
required, its long-term management.
(i) Where certain functions and services of waters of the United States are permanently adversely
affected by a regulated activity, such as discharges of dredged or fil l material into waters of the United
States that will convert a forested or scrub-shrub wetland to a herbaceous wetland in a permanently
maintained utility line right-of-way, mitigation may be required to reduce the adverse environmental
effects of the activity to the no more than minimal level.
24. Safety of Impoundment Structures. To ensure that all impoundment structures are safely designed,
the district engineer may require non-Federal applicants to demonstrate that the structures comply with
established state or federal, dam safety criteria or have been designed by qualified persons. The district
engineer may also require documentation that the design has been independently reviewed by similarly
qualified persons, and appropriate modifications made to ensure safety.
25. Water Quality. (a) Where the certifying authority (state, authorized tribe, or EPA, as appropriate) has
not previously certified compliance of an NWP with CWA section 401, a CWA section 401 water quality
certification for the proposed discharge must be obtained or waived (see 33 CFR 330.4(c)). If the
permittee cannot comply with all of the conditions of a water quality certification previously issued by
certifying authority for the issuance of the NWP, then the permittee must obtain a w ater quality
certification or waiver for the proposed discharge in order for the activity to be authorized by an NWP.
(b) If the NWP activity requires pre-construction notification and the certifying authority has not previously
certified compliance of an NWP with CWA section 401, the proposed discharge is not authorized by an
NWP until water quality certification is obtained or waived. If the certifying authority issues a water quality
certification for the proposed discharge, the permittee must submit a copy of the certification to the district
engineer. The discharge is not authorized by an NWP until the district engineer has notified the permittee
that the water quality certification requirement has been satisfied by the issuance of a water quality
certification or a waiver.
(c) The district engineer or certifying authority may require additional water quality management
measures to ensure that the authorized activity does not result in more than minimal degradation of water
quality.
26. Coastal Zone Management. In coastal states where an NWP has not previously received a state
coastal zone management consistency concurrence, an individual state coastal zone management
consistency concurrence must be obtained, or a presumption of concurrence must occur (see 33 CFR
330.4(d)). If the permittee cannot comply with all of the conditions of a coastal zone management
consistency concurrence previously issued by the state, then the permittee must obtain an individual
coastal zone management consistency concurrence or presumption of concurrence in order for the
activity to be authorized by an NWP. The district engineer or a state may require additional measures to
ensure that the authorized activity is consistent with state coastal zone management r equirements.
27. Regional and Case-By-Case Conditions. The activity must comply with any regional conditions that
may have been added by the Division Engineer (see 33 CFR 330.4(e)) and with any case specific
conditions added by the Corps or by the state, Indian Tribe, or U.S. EPA in its CWA section 401 Water
Quality Certification, or by the state in its Coastal Zone Management Act consistency determination.
28. Use of Multiple Nationwide Permits. The use of more than one NWP for a single and complete project
is authorized, subject to the following restrictions:
(a) If only one of the NWPs used to authorize the single and complete project has a specified acreage
limit, the acreage loss of waters of the United States cannot exceed the acreage limit of the N WP with the
highest specified acreage limit. For example, if a road crossing over tidal waters is constructed under
NWP 14, with associated bank stabilization authorized by NWP 13, the maximum acreage loss of waters
of the United States for the total project cannot exceed 1⁄3-acre.
10
(b) If one or more of the NWPs used to authorize the single and complete project has specified acreage
limits, the acreage loss of waters of the United States authorized by those NWPs cannot exceed their
respective specified acreage limits. For example, if a commercial development is constructed under NWP
39, and the single and complete project includes the filling of an upland ditch authorized by NWP 46, the
maximum acreage loss of waters of the United States for the commercial development under NWP 39
cannot exceed 1/2-acre, and the total acreage loss of waters of United States due to the NWP 39 and 46
activities cannot exceed 1 acre.
29. Transfer of Nationwide Permit Verifications. If the permittee sells the property associated with a
nationwide permit verification, the permittee may transfer the nationwide permit verification to the new
owner by submitting a letter to the appropriate Corps district office to validate the transfer. A copy of the
nationwide permit verification must be attached to the letter, and the letter must contain the following
statement and signature:
“When the structures or work authorized by this nationwide permit are still in existence at the time the
property is transferred, the terms and conditions of this nationwide permit, including any special
conditions, will continue to be binding on the new owner(s) of the property. To validate the transfer of this
nationwide permit and the associated liabilities associated with compliance with its terms and condi tions,
have the transferee sign and date below.”

(Date)
30. Compliance Certification. Each permittee who receives an NWP verification letter from the Corps must
provide a signed certification documenting completion of the authorized activity and implementation of
any required compensatory mitigation. The success of any required permittee-responsible mitigation,
including the achievement of ecological performance standards, will be addressed separately by the
district engineer. The Corps will provide the permittee the certification document with the NWP verification
letter. The certification document will include:
(a) A statement that the authorized activity was done in accordance with the NWP authorization, including
any general, regional, or activity-specific conditions;
(b) A statement that the implementation of any required compensatory mitigation was completed in
accordance with the permit conditions. If credits from a mitigation bank or in-lieu fee program are used to
satisfy the compensatory mitigation requirements, the certification must include the documentation
required by 33 CFR 332.3(l)(3) to confirm that the permittee secured the appropriate number and
resource type of credits; and
(c) The signature of the permittee certifying the completion of the activity and mitigation.
The completed certification document must be submitted to the district engineer within 30 days of
completion of the authorized activity or the implementation of any required compensatory mitigation,
whichever occurs later.
31. Activities Affecting Structures or Works Built by the United States. If an NWP activity also requires
review by, or permission from, the Corps pursuant to 33 U.S.C. 408 because it will alter or temporarily or
permanently occupy or use a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) federally authorized Civil Works
project (a “USACE project”), the prospective permittee must submit a pre-construction notification. See
paragraph (b)(10) of general condition 32. An activity that requires section 408 permission and/or review
is not authorized by an NWP until the appropriate Corps office issues the section 408 permission or
11
completes its review to alter, occupy, or use the USACE project, and the district engineer issues a written
NWP verification.
32. Pre-Construction Notification. (a) Timing. Where required by the terms of the NWP, the prospective
permittee must notify the district engineer by submitting a pre-construction notification (PCN) as early as
possible. The district engineer must determine if the PCN is complete within 30 calendar days of the date
of receipt and, if the PCN is determined to be incomplete, notify the prospective permittee within that 30
day period to request the additional information necessary to make the PCN complete. The request must
specify the information needed to make the PCN complete. As a general rule, district engineers will
request additional information necessary to make the PCN complete only once. However, if the
prospective permittee does not provide all of the requested information, then the district engi neer will
notify the prospective permittee that the PCN is still incomplete and the PCN review process will not
commence until all of the requested information has been received by the district engineer. The
prospective permittee shall not begin the activity until either:
(1) He or she is notified in writing by the district engineer that the activity may proceed under the NWP
with any special conditions imposed by the district or division engineer; or
(2) 45 calendar days have passed from the district engineer’s receipt of the complete PCN and the
prospective permittee has not received written notice from the district or division engineer. However, if the
permittee was required to notify the Corps pursuant to general condition 18 that listed species or critical
habitat might be affected or are in the vicinity of the activity, or to notify the Corps pursuant to general
condition 20 that the activity might have the potential to cause effects to historic properties, the permittee
cannot begin the activity until receiving written notification from the Corps that there is “no effect” on listed
species or “no potential to cause effects” on historic properties, or that any consultation required under
Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act (see 33 CFR 330.4(f)) and/or section 106 of the National
Historic Preservation Act (see 33 CFR 330.4(g)) has been completed. If the proposed activity requires a
written waiver to exceed specified limits of an NWP, the permittee may not begin the activity until the
district engineer issues the waiver. If the district or division engineer notifies the permittee in writing that
an individual permit is required within 45 calendar days of receipt of a complete PCN, the permittee
cannot begin the activity until an individual permit has been obtained. Subsequently, the permittee’s right
to proceed under the NWP may be modified, suspended, or revoked only in accordance with the
procedure set forth in 33 CFR 330.5(d)(2).
(b) Contents of Pre-Construction Notification: The PCN must be in writing and include the following
information:
(1) Name, address and telephone numbers of the prospective permittee;
(2) Location of the proposed activity;
(3) Identify the specific NWP or NWP(s) the prospective permittee wants to use to authorize the proposed
activity;
(4) (i) A description of the proposed activity; the activity’s purpose; direct and indirect adverse
environmental effects the activity would cause, including the anticipated amount of loss of wetlands, other
special aquatic sites, and other waters expected to result from the NWP activity, in acres, linear feet, or
other appropriate unit of measure; a description of any proposed mitigation measures intended to reduce
the adverse environmental effects caused by the proposed activity; and any ot her NWP(s), regional
general permit(s), or individual permit(s) used or intended to be used to authorize any part of the
proposed project or any related activity, including other separate and distant crossings for linear projects
that require Department of the Army authorization but do not require pre-construction notification. The
description of the proposed activity and any proposed mitigation measures should be sufficiently detailed
to allow the district engineer to determine that the adverse environmental effects of the activity will be no
more than minimal and to determine the need for compensatory mitigation or other mitigation measures.
12
(ii) For linear projects where one or more single and complete crossings require pre -construction
notification, the PCN must include the quantity of anticipated losses of wetlands, other special aquatic
sites, and other waters for each single and complete crossing of those wetlands, other special aquatic
sites, and other waters (including those single and complete cr ossings authorized by an NWP but do not
require PCNs). This information will be used by the district engineer to evaluate the cumulative adverse
environmental effects of the proposed linear project, and does not change those non-PCN NWP activities
into NWP PCNs.
(iii) Sketches should be provided when necessary to show that the activity complies with the terms of the
NWP. (Sketches usually clarify the activity and when provided results in a quicker decision. Sketches
should contain sufficient detail to provide an illustrative description of the proposed activity (e.g., a
conceptual plan), but do not need to be detailed engineering plans);
(5) The PCN must include a delineation of wetlands, other special aquatic sites, and other waters, such
as lakes and ponds, and perennial and intermittent streams, on the project site. Wetland delineations
must be prepared in accordance with the current method required by the Corps. The permittee may ask
the Corps to delineate the special aquatic sites and other waters o n the project site, but there may be a
delay if the Corps does the delineation, especially if the project site is large or contains many wetlands,
other special aquatic sites, and other waters. Furthermore, the 45-day period will not start until the
delineation has been submitted to or completed by the Corps, as appropriate;
(6) If the proposed activity will result in the loss of greater than 1/10-acre of wetlands or 3/100-acre of
stream bed and a PCN is required, the prospective permittee must submit a statement describing how the
mitigation requirement will be satisfied, or explaining why the adverse environmental effects are no more
than minimal and why compensatory mitigation should not be required. As an alternative, the prospective
permittee may submit a conceptual or detailed mitigation plan.
(7) For non-federal permittees, if any listed species (or species proposed for listing) or designated critical
habitat (or critical habitat proposed for such designation) might be affected or is in the vicinity of the
activity, or if the activity is located in designated critical habitat (or critical habitat proposed for such
designation), the PCN must include the name(s) of those endangered or threatened species (or species
proposed for listing) that might be affected by the proposed activity or utilize the designated critical habitat
(or critical habitat proposed for such designation) that might be affected by the proposed activity. For
NWP activities that require pre-construction notification, Federal permittees must provide documentation
demonstrating compliance with the Endangered Species Act;
(8) For non-federal permittees, if the NWP activity might have the potential to cause effects to a historic
property listed on, determined to be eligible for listing on, or potentially eligible for listing on, th e National
Register of Historic Places, the PCN must state which historic property might have the potential to be
affected by the proposed activity or include a vicinity map indicating the location of the historic property.
For NWP activities that require pre-construction notification, Federal permittees must provide
documentation demonstrating compliance with section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act;
(9) For an activity that will occur in a component of the National Wild and Scenic River Sys tem, or in a
river officially designated by Congress as a “study river” for possible inclusion in the system while the river
is in an official study status, the PCN must identify the Wild and Scenic River or the “study river” (see
general condition 16); and
(10) For an NWP activity that requires permission from, or review by, the Corps pursuant to 33 U.S.C. 408
because it will alter or temporarily or permanently occupy or use a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
federally authorized civil works project, the pre-construction notification must include a statement
confirming that the project proponent has submitted a written request for section 408 permission from, or
review by, the Corps office having jurisdiction over that USACE project.
(c) Form of Pre-Construction Notification: The nationwide permit pre-construction notification form (Form
ENG 6082) should be used for NWP PCNs. A letter containing the required information may also be
13
used. Applicants may provide electronic files of PCNs and supporting materials if the district engineer
has established tools and procedures for electronic submittals.
(d) Agency Coordination: (1) The district engineer will consider any comments from Federal and state
agencies concerning the proposed activity’s compliance with the terms and conditions of the NWPs and
the need for mitigation to reduce the activity’s adverse environmental effects so that they are no more
than minimal.
(2) Agency coordination is required for: (i) all NWP activities that require pre-construction notification and
result in the loss of greater than 1/2-acre of waters of the United States; (ii) NWP 13 activities in excess of
500 linear feet, fills greater than one cubic yard per running foot, or involve discharges of dredged or fill
material into special aquatic sites; and (iii) NWP 54 activities in excess of 500 linear feet, or that extend
into the waterbody more than 30 feet from the mean low water line in tidal waters or the ordinary high
water mark in the Great Lakes.
(3) When agency coordination is required, the district engineer will immediately provide (e.g., via e-mail,
facsimile transmission, overnight mail, or other expeditious manner) a copy of the complete PCN to the
appropriate Federal or state offices (FWS, state natural resource or water quality agency, EPA, and, if
appropriate, the NMFS). With the exception of NWP 37, these agencies will have 10 calendar days from
the date the material is transmitted to notify the district engineer via telephone, facsimile transmission, or
e-mail that they intend to provide substantive, site-specific comments. The comments must explain why
the agency believes the adverse environmental effects will be more than minimal. If so contacted by an
agency, the district engineer will wait an additional 15 calendar d ays before making a decision on the pre-
construction notification. The district engineer will fully consider agency comments received within the
specified time frame concerning the proposed activity’s compliance with the terms and conditions of the
NWPs, including the need for mitigation to ensure that the net adverse environmental effects of the
proposed activity are no more than minimal. The district engineer will provide no response to the resource
agency, except as provided below. The district engineer will indicate in the administrative record
associated with each pre-construction notification that the resource agencies’ concerns were considered.
For NWP 37, the emergency watershed protection and rehabilitation activity may proceed immediately in
cases where there is an unacceptable hazard to life or a significant loss of property or economic hardship
will occur. The district engineer will consider any comments received to decide whether the NWP 37
authorization should be modified, suspended, or revoked in accordance with the procedures at 33 CFR
330.5.
(4) In cases of where the prospective permittee is not a Federal agency, the district engineer will provide
a response to NMFS within 30 calendar days of receipt of any Essential Fish Habitat conservation
recommendations, as required by section 305(b)(4)(B) of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation
and Management Act.
(5) Applicants are encouraged to provide the Corps with either electronic files or multiple copies of pre -
construction notifications to expedite agency coordination.
C. SEATTLE DISTRICT REGIONAL GENERAL CONDITIONS: The following conditions apply to the
2021 NWPs - Final 41 NWPs for the Seattle District in Washington State, as applicable.
RGC 1, Project Drawings
Drawings must be submitted with pre-construction notification (PCN). Drawings must provide a clear
understanding of the proposed project, and how waters of the United States will be affected. Drawings
must be originals and not reduced copies of large-scale plans. Engineering drawings are not required.
Existing and proposed site conditions (manmade and landscape features) must be drawn to scale.
RGC 2, Aquatic Resources Requiring Special Protection
A PCN is required for activities resulting in a loss of waters of the United States in wetlands in dunal
systems along the Washington coast, mature forested wetlands, bogs and peatlands, aspen-dominated
wetlands, alkali wetlands, vernal pools, camas prairie wetlands, estuarine wetlands, and wetlands in
coastal lagoons.
14
RGC 3, New Bank Stabilization in Tidal Waters of Puget Sound
Activities involving new bank stabilization in tidal waters in Water Resource Inventory Areas (WRIAs) 8, 9,
10, 11 and 12 (within the areas identified on Figures 1a through 1e) cannot be authorized b y NWP.
RGC 4, Commencement Bay
No permanent losses of wetlands or mudflats within the Commencement Bay Study Area may be
authorized by any NWP (see Figure 2).
RGC 5, Bank Stabilization
All projects including new or maintenance bank stabilization activities in waters of the United States
where salmonid species are present or could be present, requires PCN to the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers (Corps) (see NWP general condition 32).
For new bank stabilization projects only, the following must be submitted to the Corps:
a. The cause of the erosion and the distance of any existing structures from the area(s) being
stabilized.
b. The type and length of existing bank stabilization within 300 feet of the proposed project.
c. A description of current conditions and expected post-project conditions in the waterbody.
d. A statement describing how the project incorporates elements avoiding and minimizing adverse
environmental effects to the aquatic environment and nearshore riparian area, including
vegetation impacts in the waterbody.
In addition to a. through d., the results from any relevant geotechnical investigations can be submitted
with the PCN if it describes current or expected conditions in the waterbody.
RGC 6, Crossings of Waters of the United State s
Any project including installing, replacing, or modifying crossings of waters of the United States, such as
culverts or bridges, requires submittal of a PCN to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (see NWP general
condition 32).
If a culvert is proposed to cross waters of the U.S. where salmonid species are present or could be
present, the project must apply the stream simulation design method from the Washington Department of
Fish and Wildlife located in the Water Crossing Design Guidelines (2013), or a design method which
provides passage at all life stages at all flows where the salmonid species would naturally seek passage.
If the stream simulation design method is not applied for a culvert where salmonid species are present or
could be present, the project proponent must provide a rationale in the PCN sufficient to establish one of
the following:
a. The existence of extraordinary site conditions.
b. How the proposed design will provide equivalent or better fish passage and fisheries habitat
benefits than the stream simulation design method.
Culverts installed under emergency authorization that do not meet the above design criteria will be
required to meet the above design criteria to receive an after-the-fact nationwide permit verification.
RGC 7, Stream Loss
A PCN is required for all activities that result in the loss of any linear feet of streams.
RGC 8, Construction Boundaries
Permittees must clearly mark all construction area boundaries within waters of the United States before
beginning work on projects that involve grading or placement of fill. Boundary markers and/or
construction fencing must be maintained and clearly visible for the duration of construction. Permittees
should avoid and minimize removal of native vegetation (including submerged aquatic vegetation) to the
maximum extent possible.
RGC 9, ESA Reporting to NMFS
For any nationwide permit that may affect threatened or endangered species;
Incidents where any individuals of fish species, marine mammals and/or sea turtles listed by National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Fisheries, National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) under the
Endangered Species Act appear to be injured or killed as a result of discharges of dredged or fill material
into waters of the U.S. or structures or work in navigable waters of the U.S. authorized by this Nationwide
15
Permit verification shall be reported to NMFS, Office of Protected Resources at (301) 713 -1401 and the
Regulatory Office of the Seattle District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers at (206) 764-3495. The
finder should leave the animal alone, make note of any circumstances likely causing the death or injury,
note the location and number of individuals involved and, if possible, take photographs. Adult animals
should not be disturbed unless circumstances arise where they are obviously injured or killed by
discharge exposure or some unnatural cause. The finder may be asked to carry out instructions provided
by the NMFS to collect specimens or take other measures to ensure that evidence intrins ic to the
specimen is preserved.
D. SEATTLE DISTRICT REGIONAL SPECIFIC CONDITIONS FOR THIS NWP: None
E. 401 WATER QUALITY CERTIFICATION: Depending on the geographic region of the work authorized
by this verification, the appropriate 401 certifying authority has made the following determinations:
Washington Department of Ecology (Ecology) (Projects in all areas except as described for the
other certifying agencies listed below): General and Specific WQC Conditions
A. State General Conditions for all Nationwide Permits
In addition to all of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ (Corps) national and Seattle District’s regional
permit conditions, the following state general Water Quality Certification (WQC) conditions apply to all
NWPs whether granted or granted with conditions in Washington where Ecology is the certifying
authority.
Due to the lack of site specific information on the discharge types, quantities, and specific locations, as
well as the condition of receiving waters and the quantity of waters (including wetlands) that may be lost,
Ecology may need to review the project if one of the following state general conditions is triggered.
This case-by-case review may be required, and additional information regarding the project and
associated discharges may be needed, to verify that the proposed project would comply with state water
quality requirements and if an individual WQC is required or if the project meets this programmatic
WQC.
1. In-water construction activities. Ecology WQC review is required for projects or activities
authorized under NWPs where the project proponent has indicated on the Joint Aquatic Resource
Permit Application (JARPA) question 9e that the project or activity will not meet State water
quality standards, or has provided information indicating that the project or activity will cause, or
may be likely to cause or contribute to an exceedance of a State water quality standard (Chapter
173-201A WAC) or sediment management standard (Chapter 173-204 WAC).
Note: In-water activities include any activity within a jurisdictional wetland and/or waters.
2. Projects or Activities Discharging to Impaired Waters. Ecology WQC review is required for
projects or activities that will occur in a 303(d) listed segment of a waterbody or upstream of a listed
segment and may result in further exceedances of the specific listed parameter to determine if the
project meets this programmatic WQC or will require individual WQC.
To determine if your project or activity is in a 303(d) listed segment of a waterbody, visit Ecology’s Water
Quality Assessment webpage for maps and search tools.
3. Aquatic resources requiring special protection. Certain aquatic resources are unique and
difficult-to-replace components of the aquatic environment in Washington. Activities that would
affect these resources must be avoided to the greatest extent practicable. Compensating for
adverse impacts to high value aquatic resources is typically difficult, prohibitively expensive, and
may not be possible in some landscape settings.
16
Ecology WQC review is required for projects or activities in areas identified below to determine if the
project meets this programmatic WQC or will require individual WQC.
a. Activities in or affecting the following aquatic resources:
i. Wetlands with special characteristics (as defined in the Washington State
Wetland Rating Systems for western and eastern Washington, Ecology
Publications #14-06-029 and #14-06-030):
• Estuarine wetlands.
• Wetlands of High Conservation Value.
• Bogs.
• Old-growth forested wetlands and mature forested wetlands.
• Wetlands in coastal lagoons.
• Wetlands in dunal systems along the Washington coast.
• Vernal pools.
• Alkali wetlands.
ii. Fens, aspen-dominated wetlands, camas prairie wetlands.
iii. Category I wetlands.
iv. Category II wetlands with a habitat score ≥ 8 points.
b. Activities in or resulting in a loss of eelgrass (Zostera marina) beds.
This state general condition does not apply to the following NWPs:
NWP 20 – Response Operations for Oil and Hazardous Substances
NWP 32 – Completed Enforcement Actions
NWP 48 – Commercial Shellfish Mariculture Activities
4. Loss of More than 300 Linear Feet of Streambed. For any project that results in the loss of more
than 300 linear feet of streambed Ecology WQC review is required to determine if the project meets
this programmatic WQC or will require individual WQC.
5. Temporary Fills. For any project or activity with temporary fill in wetlands or other waters for
more than six months Ecology WQC review is required to determine if the project meets this
programmatic WQC or will require individual WQC.
6. Mitigation. Project proponents are required to show that they have followed the mitigation
sequence and have first avoided and minimized impacts to aquatic resources wherever practicable.
For projects requiring Ecology WQC review or an individual WQC with unavoidable impacts to
aquatics resources, a mitigation plan must be provided.
a. Wetland mitigation plans submitted for Ecology review and approval shall be based
on the most current guidance provided in Wetland Mitigation in Washington State,
Parts 1 and 2 (available on Ecology’s website) and shall, at a minimum, include the
following:
i. A description of the measures taken to avoid and minimize impacts to
wetlands and other waters of the U.S.
ii. The nature of the proposed impacts (i.e., acreage of wetlands and
functions lost or degraded).
17
iii. The rationale for the mitigation site that was selected.
iv. The goals and objectives of the compensatory mitigation project.
v. How the mitigation project will be accomplished, including construction
sequencing, best management practices to protect water quality,
proposed performance standards for measuring success and the
proposed buffer widths.
vi. How it will be maintained and monitored to assess progress toward goals
and objectives. Monitoring will generally be required for a minimum of five
years. For forested and scrub-shrub wetlands, 10 years of monitoring will
often be necessary.
vii. How the compensatory mitigation site will be legally protected for the long
term.
Refer to Wetland Mitigation in Washington State – Part 2: Developing Mitigation Plans (Ecology
Publication #06-06-011b) and Selecting Wetland Mitigation Sites Using a Watershed Approach
(Ecology Publications #09-06- 032 (Western Washington) and #10-06-007 (Eastern Washington)) for
guidance on selecting suitable mitigation sites and developing mitigation plans.
Ecology encourages the use of alternative mitigation approaches, including credit/debit methodology,
advance mitigation, and other programmatic approaches such as mitigation banks and in-lieu fee
programs. If you are interested in proposing use of an alternative mitigation approach, consult with the
appropriate Ecology regional staff person. Information on alternative mitigation approaches is available
on Ecology’s website.
b. Mitigation for other aquatic resource impacts will be determined on a case-by- case
basis.
7. Stormwater Pollution Prevention. All projects involving land disturbance or impervious surfaces
must implement stormwater pollution prevention or control measures to avoid discharge of pollutants
in stormwater runoff to waters.
a. For land disturbances during construction, the applicant must obtain and
implement permits (e.g., Construction Stormwater General Permit) where
required and follow Ecology’s current stormwater manual.
b. Following construction, prevention or treatment of on-going stormwater runoff from
impervious surfaces shall be provided.
Ecology’s Stormwater Management and Design Manuals and stormwater permit information are available
on Ecology’s website.
8. Application. For projects or activities that will require Ecology WQC review, or an individual
WQC, project proponents must provide Ecology with a JARPA or the equivalent information,
along with the documentation provided to the Corps, as described in national general
condition 32, Pre-Construction Notification (PCN), including, where applicable:
a. A description of the project, including site plans, project purpose, direct and indirect
adverse environmental effects the project discharge(s) would cause, best management
practices (BMPs), and proposed means to monitor the discharge(s).
b. List of all federal, state or local agency authorizations required to be used for any part
18
of the proposed project or any related activity.
c. Drawings indicating the OHWM, delineation of special aquatic sites, and other waters of
the state. Wetland delineations must be prepared in accordance with the current method
required by the Corps and shall include Ecology’s Wetland Rating form. Wetland Rating
forms are subject to review and verification by Ecology staff.
Guidance for determining the OHWM is available on Ecology’s website.
d. A statement describing how the mitigation requirement will be satisfied. A conceptual
or detailed mitigation or restoration plan may be submitted. See state general condition
5.
e. Other applicable requirements of Corps NWP general condition 32, Corps regional
conditions, or notification conditions of the applicable NWP.
Ecology grants with conditions Water Quality Certification (WQC) for this NWP provided that
Ecology individual WQC review is not required per the state general conditions (see above) ) and the
following conditions:
1. The project or activity involves the complete replacement of a shoreline stabilization using
hard armoring.
2. The project or activity increases the original footprint of the structure by more than 1/10th
acre in wetlands; or
3. The project or activity includes adding a new structure, such as a weir, flap gate/tide gate,
or culvert to the site.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) (on Tribal Lands where Tribes Do Not Have Treatment in
a Similar Manner as a State and Lands with Exclusive Federal Jurisdiction in Washington):
On behalf of the 28 tribes that do not have treatment in a similar manner as a state and for exclusive
federal jurisdiction lands located within the state of Washington, EPA Region 10 has determined that
CWA Section 401 WQC for the following proposed NWPs is granted with conditions. EPA Region 10
has determined that any discharge authorized under the following proposed NWPs will comply with
water quality requirements, as defined at 40 C.F.R. § 121.1(n), subject to the following conditions
pursuant to CWA Section 401(d).
General Conditions:
EPA General Condition 1 – Aquatic Resources of Special Concern
Activities resulting in a point source discharge in the following types of aquatic resources of special
concern shall request an individual project-specific CWA Section 401 WQC: mature forested wetlands;
bogs, fens and other peatlands; vernal pools; aspen-dominated wetlands; alkali wetlands; camas
prairie wetlands; wetlands in dunal systems along the Oregon or Washington Coast; riffle-pool
complexes of streams; marine or estuarine mud-flats; salt marshes; marine waters with native eelgrass
or kelp beds; or marine nearshore forage fish habitat. To identify whether a project would occur in any
of these aquatic resources of special concern, project proponents shall us e existing and available
information to identify the location and type of resources, including using the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service’s online digital National Wetland Inventory maps, identifying project location on topographical
maps, and/or providing on-site determinations as required by the Corps. When a project requires a Pre-
Construction Notification (PCN) to the Corps, project proponents shall work with the Corps to identify
whether the project is in any of these specific aquatic resources of special concern.
19
EPA General Condition 2 – Soil Erosion and Sediment Controls
Turbidity shall not exceed background turbidity by more than 50 Nephelometric Turbidity Units (NTU)
above background instantaneously or more than 25 NTU above background for more than ten
consecutive days.8 Projects or activities that are expected to exceed these levels require an individual
project-specific CWA Section 401 WQC.
The turbidity standard shall be met at the following distances from the discharge:
Wetted Stream Width at Discharge
Point
Approximate Downstream Point to
Sample to Determine Compliance
Up to 30 feet 50 feet
>30 to 100 feet 100 feet
>100 feet to 200 feet 200 feet

Lake, Pond, Reservoir
Lesser of 100 feet or maximum surface
distance
For Marine Water Point of Compliance for Temporary Area of
Mixing
Estuaries or Marine Waters
Radius of 150 feet from the activity causing
the turbidity exceedance
Measures to prevent and/or reduce turbidity shall be implemented and monitored prior to, during, and
after construction. Turbidity monitoring shall be done at the point of compliance within 24 hours of a
precipitation event of 0.25 inches or greater. During monitoring and maintenance, if turbidity limits are
exceeded or if measures are identified as ineffective, then additional measures shall be taken to come
into compliance and EPA shall be notified within 48 hours of the exceedance or measure failure.
EPA General Condition 3 - Compliance with Stormwater Pollution Prevention and the National Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System Permit Provisions
For land disturbances during construction that 1) disturb one or more acres of land, or 2) will disturb
less than one acre of land but are part of a common plan of development or sale that will ultimately
disturb one or more acres of land, the permittee shall obtain and implement Construction Stormwater
General Permit requirements,9 including:
1. The permittee shall develop a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP)10 and submit
it to EPA Region 10 and appropriate Corps District; and
2. Following construction, prevention or treatment of ongoing stormwater
runoff from impervious surfaces that includes soil infiltration shall be
implemented.
EPA General Condition 4 – Projects or Activities Discharging to Impaired Waters
Projects or activities are not authorized under the NWPs if the project will involve point source
discharges into an active channel (e.g., flowing or open waters) of a water of the U.S. listed as
impaired under CWA Section 303(d) and/or if the waterbody has an approved Total Maximum Daily
Load (TMDL) and the discharge may result in further exceedance of a specific parameter (e.g., total
suspended solids, dissolved oxygen, temperature) for which the waterbody is listed or has an
approved TMDL. The current lists of impaired waters of the U.S. under CWA Section 303(d) and
waters of the U.S. for which a TMDL has been approved are available on EPA Region 10’s web site at:
https://www.epa.gov/tmdl/impaired-waters-and-tmdls-region-10.
20
EPA General Condition 5 – Notice to EPA
All project proponents shall provide notice to EPA Region 10 prior to commencing construction
activities authorized by a NWP. This will provide EPA Region 10 with the opportunity to inspect the
activity for the purposes of determining whether any discharge from the proposed project will violate
this CWA Section 401 WQC. Where the Corps requires a PCN for an applicable NWP, the project
proponent shall also provide the PCN to EPA Region 10. EPA Region 10 will provide written
notification to the project proponent if the proposed project will violate the water quality certification of
the NWP.
EPA General Condition 6 – Unsuitable Materials
The project proponent shall not use wood products treated with leachable chemical components (e.g.,
copper, arsenic, zinc, creosote, chromium, chloride, fluoride, pentachlorophenol), which result in a
discharge to waters of the U.S., unless the wood products meet the following criteria:
1. Wood preservatives and their application shall be in compliance with EPA label
requirements and criteria of approved EPA Registration Documents under the Federal
Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act;
2. Use of chemically treated wood products shall follow the Western Wood Preservatives
Institute (WWPI) guidelines and BMPs to minimize the preservative migrating from
treated wood into the aquatic environment;
3. For new or replacement wood structures, the wood shall be sealed with non-toxic
products such as water-based silica or soy-based water repellants or sealers to prevent
or limit leaching. Acceptable alternatives to chemically treated wood include untreated
wood, steel (painted, unpainted or coated with epoxy petroleum compound or plastic),
concrete and plastic lumber; and
4. All removal of chemically treated wood products (including pilings) shall follow the most
recent “EPA Region 10 Best Management Practices for Piling Removal and Placement
in Washington State.”
NWP Specific Conditions:
NWP 3 is conditionally certified, subject to the general conditions listed above, for all maintenance,
repair or replacement activities authorized under this NWP, except that an individual project-specific
WQC is required when the project involves:
1. Maintenance, repair, or replacement of shoreline stabilization using hard armoring
approaches; or
2. Extending existing infrastructure beyond its prior footprint in fish bearing waters of the U.S.; or
3. Excavation or dredging in marine waters.
Specific Tribes with Certifying Authority (Projects in Specific Tribal Areas):
WQC was issued by the Swinomish Indian Tribal Community. WQC was waived by the Confederated
Tribes of the Chehalis Reservation and Colville Indian Reservation, Kalispel Tribe of Indians, Port
Gamble S'Klallam Tribe, Quinault Indian Nation, and the Spokane Tribe of Indians. WQC was denied by
the Lummi Nation, Makah Tribe, Puyallup Tribe of Indians, and the Tulalip Tribes; therefore, individual
WQC is required from these tribes.
F. COASTAL ZONE MANAGEMENT ACT (CZMA) CONSISTENCY RESPONSE FOR THIS NWP:
Ecology’s determination is that they concur with conditions that this NWP is consistent with CZMA.
1. A CZM Federal Consistency Decision is required for projects or activities under this NWP if a
State 401 Water Quality Certification is required.

F. Coastal Zone Management Consistency Response for this NWP
In addition to any special condition that may be required on a case-by-case basis by the District Engineer,
the following terms and conditions must be met, as applicable, for a Nationwide Permit (NWP) authorization
to be valid in Washington State.
A. DESCRIPTION OF AUTHORIZED ACTIVITIES
27. Aquatic Habitat Restoration, Enhancement, and Establishment Activities. Activities in waters of the
United States associated with the restoration, enhancement, and establishment of tidal and non-tidal
wetlands and riparian areas, the restoration and enhancement of non-tidal streams and other non-tidal
open waters, and the rehabilitation or enhancement of tidal streams, tidal wetlands, and tidal open
waters, provided those activities result in net increases in aquat ic resource functions and services.
To be authorized by this NWP, the aquatic habitat restoration, enhancement, or establishment activity
must be planned, designed, and implemented so that it results in aquatic habitat that resembles an
ecological reference. An ecological reference may be based on the characteristics of one or more intact
aquatic habitats or riparian areas of the same type that exist in the region. An ecological reference may
be based on a conceptual model developed from regional ecological knowledge of the target aquatic
habitat type or riparian area.
To the extent that a Corps permit is required, activities authorized by this NWP include, but are not limited
to the removal of accumulated sediments; releases of sediment from reservo irs to maintain sediment
transport continuity to restore downstream habitats; the installation, removal, and maintenance of small
water control structures, dikes, and berms, as well as discharges of dredged or fill material to restore
appropriate stream channel configurations after small water control structures, dikes, and berms are
removed; the installation of current deflectors; the enhancement, rehabilitation, or re -establishment of
riffle and pool stream structure; the placement of in-stream habitat structures; modifications of the stream
bed and/or banks to enhance, rehabilitate, or re-establish stream meanders; the removal of stream
barriers, such as undersized culverts, fords, and grade control structures; the backfilling of artificial
channels; the removal of existing drainage structures, such as drain tiles, and the filling, blocking, or
reshaping of drainage ditches to restore wetland hydrology; the installation of structures or fills necessary
to restore or enhance wetland or stream hydrology; the construction of small nesting islands; the
construction of open water areas; the construction of oyster habitat over unvegetated bottom in tidal
waters; coral restoration or relocation activities; shellfish seeding; activities needed to reestablish
vegetation, including plowing or discing for seed bed preparation and the planting of appropriate wetland
species; re-establishment of submerged aquatic vegetation in areas where those plant communities
previously existed; re-establishment of tidal wetlands in tidal waters where those wetlands previously
existed; mechanized land clearing to remove non-native invasive, exotic, or nuisance vegetation; and
other related activities. Only native plant species should be planted at the site.
This NWP authorizes the relocation of non-tidal waters, including non-tidal wetlands and streams, on the
project site provided there are net increases in aquatic resource functions and services.
2
Except for the relocation of non-tidal waters on the project site, this NWP does not authorize the
conversion of a stream or natural wetlands to another aquatic habitat type (e.g., the conversion of a
stream to wetland or vice versa) or uplands. Changes in wetland plant communities that occur when
wetland hydrology is more fully restored during wetland rehabilitation activities are not considered a
conversion to another aquatic habitat type. This NWP does not authorize stream channelization. This
NWP does not authorize the relocation of tidal waters or the conversion of tidal waters, including tidal
wetlands, to other aquatic uses, such as the conversion of tidal wetlands into open water impoundments.
Compensatory mitigation is not required for activities authorized by this NWP since these activities must
result in net increases in aquatic resource functions and services.
Reversion. For enhancement, restoration, and establishment activities conducted: (1) In accordance with
the terms and conditions of a binding stream or wetland enhancement or restoration agreement, or a
wetland establishment agreement, between the landowner and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS),
the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), the Farm Service Agency (FSA), the National
Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), the National Ocean Service (NOS), U.S. Forest Service (USFS), or
their designated state cooperating agencies; (2) as voluntary wetland restoration, enhancement, and
establishment actions documented by the NRCS or USDA Technical Service Provider pursuant to NRCS
Field Office Technical Guide standards; or (3) on reclaimed surface coal mine lands, in accordance with a
Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act permit issued by the Office of Surface Mining Reclamation
and Enforcement (OSMRE) or the applicable state agency, this NWP also authorizes any futur e
discharge of dredged or fill material associated with the reversion of the area to its documented prior
condition and use (i.e., prior to the restoration, enhancement, or establishment activities). The reversion
must occur within five years after expiration of a limited term wetland restoration or establishment
agreement or permit, and is authorized in these circumstances even if the discharge of dredged or fill
material occurs after this NWP expires. The five-year reversion limit does not apply to agreements without
time limits reached between the landowner and the FWS, NRCS, FSA, NMFS, NOS, USFS, or an
appropriate state cooperating agency. This NWP also authorizes discharges of dredged or fill material in
waters of the United States for the reversion of wetlands that were restored, enhanced, or established on
prior-converted cropland or on uplands, in accordance with a binding agreement between the landowner
and NRCS, FSA, FWS, or their designated state cooperating agencies (even though the restoration,
enhancement, or establishment activity did not require a section 404 permit). The prior condition will be
documented in the original agreement or permit, and the determination of return to prior conditions will be
made by the Federal agency or appropriate state agency executing the agreement or permit. Before
conducting any reversion activity, the permittee or the appropriate Federal or state agency must notify the
district engineer and include the documentation of the prior condition. Once an area has rever ted to its
prior physical condition, it will be subject to whatever the Corps Regulatory requirements are applicable to
that type of land at the time. The requirement that the activity results in a net increase in aquatic resource
functions and services does not apply to reversion activities meeting the above conditions. Except for the
activities described above, this NWP does not authorize any future discharge of dredged or fill material
associated with the reversion of the area to its prior condition. In such cases a separate permit would be
required for any reversion.
Reporting. For those activities that do not require pre-construction notification, the permittee must submit
to the district engineer a copy of: (1) the binding stream enhancement or restoration agreement or
wetland enhancement, restoration, or establishment agreement, or a project description, including project
plans and location map; (2) the NRCS or USDA Technical Service Provider documentation for the
voluntary stream enhancement or restoration action or wetland restoration, enhancement, or
establishment action; or (3) the SMCRA permit issued by OSMRE or the applicable state agency. The
report must also include information on baseline ecological conditions on the project site, such as a
delineation of wetlands, streams, and/or other aquatic habitats. These documents must be submitted to
the district engineer at least 30 days prior to commencing activities in waters of the United States
authorized by this NWP.
Notification: The permittee must submit a pre-construction notification to the district engineer prior to
commencing any activity (see general condition 32), except for the following activities:
3
(1) Activities conducted on non-Federal public lands and private lands, in accordance with the terms and
conditions of a binding stream enhancement or restoration agreement or wetland enhancement,
restoration, or establishment agreement between the landowner and the FWS, NRCS, FSA, NMFS, NOS,
USFS or their designated state cooperating agencies;
(2) Activities conducted in accordance with the terms and conditions of a binding coral restoration or
relocation agreement between the project proponent and the NMFS or any of its designated state
cooperating agencies;
(3) Voluntary stream or wetland restoration or enhancement action, or wetland establishment action,
documented by the NRCS or USDA Technical Service Provider pursuant to NRCS Field Office Technical
Guide standards; or
(4) The reclamation of surface coal mine lands, in accordance with an SMCRA permit issued by the
OSMRE or the applicable state agency.
However, the permittee must submit a copy of the appropriate documentation to the district engineer to
fulfill the reporting requirement. (Authorities: Sections 10 and 404)
Note: This NWP can be used to authorize compensatory mitigation projects, including mitigation banks
and in-lieu fee projects. However, this NWP does not authorize the reversion of an area used for a
compensatory mitigation project to its prior condition, since compensatory mitigation is generally intended
to be permanent.
B. CORPS NATIONAL GENERAL CONDITIONS FOR ALL 2021 NWPs - FINAL 41
Note: To qualify for NWP authorization, the prospective permittee must comply with the following general
conditions, as applicable, in addition to any regional or case-specific conditions imposed by the division
engineer or district engineer. Prospective permittees should contact the appropriate Corps district office to
determine if regional conditions have been imposed on an NWP. Prospective permittees should also
contact the appropriate Corps district office to determine the status of Clean Water Act Section 401 water
quality certification and/or Coastal Zone Management Act consistency for an NWP. Every pers on who
may wish to obtain permit authorization under one or more NWPs, or who is currently relying on an
existing or prior permit authorization under one or more NWPs, has been and is on notice that all of the
provisions of 33 CFR 330.1 through 330.6 apply to every NWP authorization. Note especially 33 CFR
330.5 relating to the modification, suspension, or revocation of any NWP authorization.
1. Navigation. (a) No activity may cause more than a minimal adverse effect on navigation.
(b) Any safety lights and signals prescribed by the U.S. Coast Guard, through regulations or otherwise,
must be installed and maintained at the permittee's expense on authorized facilities in navigable waters of
the United States.
(c) The permittee understands and agrees that, if future operations by the United States require the
removal, relocation, or other alteration, of the structure or work herein authorized, or if, in the opinion of
the Secretary of the Army or his or her authorized representative, said structure or work s hall cause
unreasonable obstruction to the free navigation of the navigable waters, the permittee will be required,
upon due notice from the Corps of Engineers, to remove, relocate, or alter the structural work or
obstructions caused thereby, without expense to the United States. No claim shall be made against the
United States on account of any such removal or alteration.
2. Aquatic Life Movements. No activity may substantially disrupt the necessary life cycle movements of
those species of aquatic life indigenous to the waterbody, including those species that normally migrate
through the area, unless the activity's primary purpose is to impound water. All permanent and temporary
crossings of waterbodies shall be suitably culverted, bridged, or otherwise d esigned and constructed to
maintain low flows to sustain the movement of those aquatic species. If a bottomless culvert cannot be
4
used, then the crossing should be designed and constructed to minimize adverse effects to aquatic life
movements.
3. Spawning Areas. Activities in spawning areas during spawning seasons must be avoided to the
maximum extent practicable. Activities that result in the physical destruction (e.g., through excavation, fill,
or downstream smothering by substantial turbidity) of an important spawning area are not authorized.
4. Migratory Bird Breeding Areas. Activities in waters of the United States that serve as breeding areas for
migratory birds must be avoided to the maximum extent practicable.
5. Shellfish Beds. No activity may occur in areas of concentrated shellfish populations, unless the activity
is directly related to a shellfish harvesting activity authorized by NWPs 4 and 48, or is a shellfish seeding
or habitat restoration activity authorized by NWP 27.
6. Suitable Material. No activity may use unsuitable material (e.g., trash, debris, car bodies, asphalt, etc.).
Material used for construction or discharged must be free from toxic pollutants in toxic amounts (see
section 307 of the Clean Water Act).
7. Water Supply Intakes. No activity may occur in the proximity of a public water supply intake, except
where the activity is for the repair or improvement of public water supply intake structures or adjacent
bank stabilization.
8. Adverse Effects From Impoundments. If the activity creates an impoundment of water, adverse effects
to the aquatic system due to accelerating the passage of water, and/or restricting its flow must be
minimized to the maximum extent practicable.
9. Management of Water Flows. To the maximum extent practicable, the pre-construction course,
condition, capacity, and location of open waters must be maintained for each activity, including stream
channelization, storm water management activities, and temporary and permanent road crossings, exce pt
as provided below. The activity must be constructed to withstand expected high flows. The activity must
not restrict or impede the passage of normal or high flows, unless the primary purpose of the activity is to
impound water or manage high flows. The activity may alter the pre-construction course, condition,
capacity, and location of open waters if it benefits the aquatic environment (e.g., stream restoration or
relocation activities).
10. Fills Within 100-Year Floodplains. The activity must comply with applicable FEMA-approved state or
local floodplain management requirements.
11. Equipment. Heavy equipment working in wetlands or mudflats must be placed on mats, or other
measures must be taken to minimize soil disturbance.
12. Soil Erosion and Sediment Controls. Appropriate soil erosion and sediment controls must be used
and maintained in effective operating condition during construction, and all exposed soil and other fills, as
well as any work below the ordinary high water mark or high tide line, must be permanently stabilized at
the earliest practicable date. Permittees are encouraged to perform work within waters of the United
States during periods of low-flow or no-flow, or during low tides.
13. Removal of Temporary Structures and Fills. Temporary structures must be removed, to the maximum
extent practicable, after their use has been discontinued. Temporary fills must be removed in their entirety
and the affected areas returned to pre-construction elevations. The affected areas must be revegetated,
as appropriate.
14. Proper Maintenance. Any authorized structure or fill shall be properly maintained, including
maintenance to ensure public safety and compliance with applicable NWP general conditions, as well as
any activity-specific conditions added by the district engineer to an NWP authorization.
5
15. Single and Complete Project. The activity must be a single and complete project. The same NWP
cannot be used more than once for the same single and complete project.
16. Wild and Scenic Rivers. (a) No NWP activity may occur in a component of the National Wild and
Scenic River System, or in a river officially designated by Congress as a “study river” for possible
inclusion in the system while the river is in an official study status, unless the appropriate Federal agency
with direct management responsibility for such river, has determined in writing that the proposed activity
will not adversely affect the Wild and Scenic River designation or study status.
(b) If a proposed NWP activity will occur in a component of the National Wild and Scenic River System, or
in a river officially designated by Congress as a “study river” for possible inclusion in the system while the
river is in an official study status, the permittee must submit a pre-construction notification (see general
condition 32). The district engineer will coordinate the PCN with the Federal agency with direct
management responsibility for that river. Permittees shall not begin the NWP activity until notified by the
district engineer that the Federal agency with direct management responsibility for that river has
determined in writing that the proposed NWP activity will not adversely affect the Wild and Scenic River
designation or study status.
(c) Information on Wild and Scenic Rivers may be obtained from the appropriate Federal land
management agency responsible for the designated Wild and Scenic River or study river (e.g., National
Park Service, U.S. Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service).
Information on these rivers is also available at: http://www.rivers.gov/.
17. Tribal Rights. No activity or its operation may impair reserved tribal rights, including, but not limited to,
reserved water rights and treaty fishing and hunting rights.
18. Endangered Species. (a) No activity is authorized under any NWP which is likely to directly or
indirectly jeopardize the continued existence of a threatened or endangered species or a species
proposed for such designation, as identified under the Federal Endangered Species Act (ESA), or which
will directly or indirectly destroy or adversely modify designated critical habitat or critical habitat proposed
for such designation. No activity is authorized under any NWP which “may affect” a listed species or
critical habitat, unless ESA section 7 consultation addressing the consequences of the propose d activity
on listed species or critical habitat has been completed. See 50 CFR 402.02 for the definition of “effects
of the action” for the purposes of ESA section 7 consultation, as well as 50 CFR 402.17, which provides
further explanation under ESA section 7 regarding “activities that are reasonably certain to occur” and
“consequences caused by the proposed action.”
(b) Federal agencies should follow their own procedures for complying with the requirements of the ESA
(see 33 CFR 330.4(f)(1)). If pre-construction notification is required for the proposed activity, the Federal
permittee must provide the district engineer with the appropriate documentation to demonstrate
compliance with those requirements. The district engineer will verify that the appropriate documentation
has been submitted. If the appropriate documentation has not been submitted, additional ESA section 7
consultation may be necessary for the activity and the respective federal agency would be responsible for
fulfilling its obligation under section 7 of the ESA.
(c) Non-federal permittees must submit a pre-construction notification to the district engineer if any listed
species (or species proposed for listing) or designated critical habitat (or critical habitat proposed such
designation) might be affected or is in the vicinity of the activity, or if the activity is located in designated
critical habitat or critical habitat proposed for such designation, and shall not begin work on the activity
until notified by the district engineer that the requirements of the ESA have been satisfied and that the
activity is authorized. For activities that might affect Federally -listed endangered or threatened species (or
species proposed for listing) or designated critical habitat (or critical habitat proposed for such
designation), the pre-construction notification must include the name(s) of the endangered or threatened
species (or species proposed for listing) that might be affected by the proposed activity or that utilize the
designated critical habitat (or critical habitat proposed for such designation) that might be affected by the
proposed activity. The district engineer will determine whether the proposed activity “may affect” or will
have “no effect” to listed species and designated critical habitat and will notify the non-Federal applicant
6
of the Corps’ determination within 45 days of receipt of a complete pre -construction notification. For
activities where the non-Federal applicant has identified listed species (or species proposed for listing) or
designated critical habitat (or critical habitat proposed for such designation) that might be affected or is in
the vicinity of the activity, and has so notified the Corps, the applicant shall not begin work until the Corps
has provided notification that the proposed activity will have “no effect” on listed species (or species
proposed for listing or designated critical habitat (or critical habitat proposed for such designation), or until
ESA section 7 consultation or conference has been completed. If the non-Federal applicant has not heard
back from the Corps within 45 days, the applicant must still wait for notification from the Corps.
(d) As a result of formal or informal consultation or conference with the FWS or NMFS the district
engineer may add species-specific permit conditions to the NWPs.
(e) Authorization of an activity by an NWP does not authorize the “take” of a threatened or endangered
species as defined under the ESA. In the absence of separate authorization (e.g., an ESA Section 10
Permit, a Biological Opinion with “incidental take” provisions, etc.) from the FWS or the NMFS, the
Endangered Species Act prohibits any person subject to the jurisdiction of the United States to take a
listed species, where "take" means to harass, harm, pursue, hunt, shoot, wound, kill, trap, capture, or
collect, or to attempt to engage in any such conduct. The word “harm” in the definition of “take'' means an
act which actually kills or injures wildlife. Such an act may include significant habitat modification or
degradation where it actually kills or injures wildlife by significantly impairing essential behavioral patterns,
including breeding, feeding or sheltering.
(f) If the non-federal permittee has a valid ESA section 10(a)(1)(B) incidental take permit with an
approved Habitat Conservation Plan for a project or a group of projects that includes the proposed NWP
activity, the non-federal applicant should provide a copy of that ESA section 10(a)(1)(B) permit with the
PCN required by paragraph (c) of this general condition. The district engineer will coordinate with the
agency that issued the ESA section 10(a)(1)(B) permit to determine whether the proposed NWP activity
and the associated incidental take were considered in the internal ESA section 7 consultation c onducted
for the ESA section 10(a)(1)(B) permit. If that coordination results in concurrence from the agency that
the proposed NWP activity and the associated incidental take were considered in the internal ESA section
7 consultation for the ESA section 10(a)(1)(B) permit, the district engineer does not need to conduct a
separate ESA section 7 consultation for the proposed NWP activity. The district engineer will notify the
non-federal applicant within 45 days of receipt of a complete pre-construction notification whether the
ESA section 10(a)(1)(B) permit covers the proposed NWP activity or whether additional ESA section 7
consultation is required.
(g) Information on the location of threatened and endangered species and their critical habitat can be
obtained directly from the offices of the FWS and NMFS or their world wide web pages at
http://www.fws.gov/ or http://www.fws.gov/ipac and http://www.nmfs.noaa.gov/pr/species/esa/
respectively.
19. Migratory Birds and Bald and Golden Eagles. The permittee is responsible for ensuring that an action
authorized by an NWP complies with the Migratory Bird Treaty Act and the Bald and Golden Eagle
Protection Act. The permittee is responsible for contacting the appropriate local office of the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service to determine what measures, if any, are necessary or appropriate to reduce adverse
effects to migratory birds or eagles, including whether "incidental take" permits are necessary and
available under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act or Bald and Golden E agle Protection Act for a particular
activity.
20. Historic Properties. (a) No activity is authorized under any NWP which may have the potential to
cause effects to properties listed, or eligible for listing, in the National Register of Historic Places un til the
requirements of Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) have been satisfied.
(b) Federal permittees should follow their own procedures for complying with the requirements of section
106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (see 33 CFR 330.4(g)(1)). If pre-construction notification is
required for the proposed NWP activity, the Federal permittee must provide the district engineer with the
appropriate documentation to demonstrate compliance with those requirements. The distr ict engineer will
7
verify that the appropriate documentation has been submitted. If the appropriate documentation is not
submitted, then additional consultation under section 106 may be necessary. The respective federal
agency is responsible for fulfilling its obligation to comply with section 106.
(c) Non-federal permittees must submit a pre-construction notification to the district engineer if the NWP
activity might have the potential to cause effects to any historic properties listed on, determined to be
eligible for listing on, or potentially eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places, including
previously unidentified properties. For such activities, the pre-construction notification must state which
historic properties might have the potential to be affected by the proposed NWP activity or include a
vicinity map indicating the location of the historic properties or the potential for the presence of historic
properties. Assistance regarding information on the location of, or potential for, the presence of historic
properties can be sought from the State Historic Preservation Officer, Tribal Historic Preservation Officer,
or designated tribal representative, as appropriate, and the National Register of Historic Places (see 33
CFR 330.4(g)). When reviewing pre-construction notifications, district engineers will comply with the
current procedures for addressing the requirements of section 106 of the National Historic Preservation
Act. The district engineer shall make a reasonable and good faith effort to carry out appropriate
identification efforts commensurate with potential impacts, which may include background research,
consultation, oral history interviews, sample field investigation, and/or field survey. Based on the
information submitted in the PCN and these identification efforts, the district engineer shall determine
whether the proposed NWP activity has the potential to cause effects on the historic properties. Section
106 consultation is not required when the district engineer determines that the activity does not have the
potential to cause effects on historic properties (see 36 CFR 800.3(a)). Section 106 consultation is
required when the district engineer determines that the activity has the potential to cause effects on
historic properties. The district engineer will conduct consultation with consulting parties identified under
36 CFR 800.2(c) when he or she makes any of the following effect determinations for the purposes of
section 106 of the NHPA: no historic properties affected, no adverse effect, or adverse effect.
(d) Where the non-Federal applicant has identified historic properties on which the proposed NWP
activity might have the potential to cause effects and has so notified the Corps, the non -Federal applicant
shall not begin the activity until notified by the district engineer either that the activity has no potential to
cause effects to historic properties or that NHPA section 106 consultation has been completed. For non-
federal permittees, the district engineer will notify the prospective permittee within 45 days of receipt of a
complete pre-construction notification whether NHPA section 106 consultation is required. If NHPA
section 106 consultation is required, the district engineer will notify the non -Federal applicant that he or
she cannot begin the activity until section 106 consultation is completed. If the non -Federal applicant has
not heard back from the Corps within 45 days, the applicant must still wait for notification from the Corps.
(e) Prospective permittees should be aware that section 110k of the NHPA (54 U.S.C. 306113) prevents
the Corps from granting a permit or other assistance to an applicant who, with intent to avoid the
requirements of section 106 of the NHPA, has intentionally significantly adversely affected a historic
property to which the permit would relate, or having legal power to prevent it, allowed such significant
adverse effect to occur, unless the Corps, after consultation with the Advisory Council on Historic
Preservation (ACHP), determines that circumstances justify granting such assistance despite the adverse
effect created or permitted by the applicant. If circumstances justify granting the assistance, the Corps is
required to notify the ACHP and provide documentation specifying the circumstances, the degree of
damage to the integrity of any historic properties affected, and proposed mitigation. This documentation
must include any views obtained from the applicant, SHPO/THPO, appropriate Indian tribes if the
undertaking occurs on or affects historic properties on tribal lands or affects properties of interest to those
tribes, and other parties known to have a legitimate interest in the impacts to the permitted activity on
historic properties.
21. Discovery of Previously Unknown Remains and Artifacts. Permittees that discover any previously
unknown historic, cultural or archeological remains and artifacts while accomplishing the activity
authorized by an NWP, they must immediately notify the district engineer of what they have found, and to
the maximum extent practicable, avoid construction activities that may affect the remains and artifacts
until the required coordination has been completed. The district engineer will initiate the Federal, Tribal,
8
and state coordination required to determine if the items or remains warrant a recovery effort or if the site
is eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places.
22. Designated Critical Resource Waters. Critical resource waters include, NOAA-managed marine
sanctuaries and marine monuments, and National Estuarine Research Reserves. The district engineer
may designate, after notice and opportunity for public comment, additional waters officially designated by
a state as having particular environmental or ecological significance, such as outstanding national
resource waters or state natural heritage sites. The district engineer may also designate additional critical
resource waters after notice and opportunity for public comment.
(a) Discharges of dredged or fill material into waters of the United States are not authorized by NWPs 7,
12, 14, 16, 17, 21, 29, 31, 35, 39, 40, 42, 43, 44, 49, 50, 51, 52, 57 and 58 for any activity within, or
directly affecting, critical resource waters, including wetlands adjacent to such waters.
(b) For NWPs 3, 8, 10, 13, 15, 18, 19, 22, 23, 25, 27, 28, 30, 33, 34, 36, 37, 38, and 54, notification is
required in accordance with general condition 32, for any activity proposed by permittees in the
designated critical resource waters including wetlands adjacent to those waters. The district engineer may
authorize activities under these NWPs only after she or he determines that the impacts to the critical
resource waters will be no more than minimal.
23. Mitigation. The district engineer will consider the following factors when determining appropriate and
practicable mitigation necessary to ensure that the individual and cumulative adverse environmental
effects are no more than minimal:
(a) The activity must be designed and constructed to avoid and minimize adverse effects, both temporary
and permanent, to waters of the United States to the maximum extent practicable at the project site (i.e.,
on site).
(b) Mitigation in all its forms (avoiding, minimizing, rectifying, reducing, or compensating for resource
losses) will be required to the extent necessary to ensure that the individual and cumulative adverse
environmental effects are no more than minimal.
(c) Compensatory mitigation at a minimum one-for-one ratio will be required for all wetland losses that
exceed 1/10-acre and require pre-construction notification, unless the district engineer determines in
writing that either some other form of mitigation would be more environmentally appropriate or the
adverse environmental effects of the proposed activity are no more than minimal, and provides an
activity-specific waiver of this requirement. For wetland losses of 1/10-acre or less that require pre-
construction notification, the district engineer may determine on a case -by-case basis that compensatory
mitigation is required to ensure that the activity results in only minimal adverse environmental effects.
(d) Compensatory mitigation at a minimum one-for-one ratio will be required for all losses of stream bed
that exceed 3/100-acre and require pre-construction notification, unless the district engineer determines
in writing that either some other form of mitigation would be more environmentally appropriate or the
adverse environmental effects of the proposed activity are no more than minimal, and provides an
activity-specific waiver of this requirement. This compensatory mitigation requirement may be satisfied
through the restoration or enhancement of riparian areas next to streams in accordance with paragraph
(e) of this general condition. For losses of stream bed of 3/100-acre or less that require pre-construction
notification, the district engineer may determine on a case-by-case basis that compensatory mitigation is
required to ensure that the activity results in only minimal adverse environmental effects. Compensatory
mitigation for losses of streams should be provided, if practicable, through stream rehabilitation,
enhancement, or preservation, since streams are difficult-to-replace resources (see 33 CFR 332.3(e)(3)).
(e) Compensatory mitigation plans for NWP activities in or near streams or other open waters will
normally include a requirement for the restoration or enhancement, maintenance, and legal protection
(e.g., conservation easements) of riparian areas next to open waters. In some cases, the restoration or
maintenance/protection of riparian areas may be the only compensatory mitigation required. If restoring
riparian areas involves planting vegetation, only native species should be planted. The width of the
9
required riparian area will address documented water quality or aquatic habitat loss concerns. Normally,
the riparian area will be 25 to 50 feet wide on each side of the stream, but the district engineer may
require slightly wider riparian areas to address docume nted water quality or habitat loss concerns. If it is
not possible to restore or maintain/protect a riparian area on both sides of a stream, or if the waterbody is
a lake or coastal waters, then restoring or maintaining/protecting a riparian area along a single bank or
shoreline may be sufficient. Where both wetlands and open waters exist on the project site, the district
engineer will determine the appropriate compensatory mitigation (e.g., riparian areas and/or wetlands
compensation) based on what is best for the aquatic environment on a watershed basis. In cases where
riparian areas are determined to be the most appropriate form of minimization or compensatory
mitigation, the district engineer may waive or reduce the requirement to provide wetland compens atory
mitigation for wetland losses.
(f) Compensatory mitigation projects provided to offset losses of aquatic resources must comply with the
applicable provisions of 33 CFR part 332.
(1) The prospective permittee is responsible for proposing an appropriate compensatory mitigation option
if compensatory mitigation is necessary to ensure that the activity results in no more than minimal
adverse environmental effects. For the NWPs, the preferred mechanism for providing compensatory
mitigation is mitigation bank credits or in-lieu fee program credits (see 33 CFR 332.3(b)(2) and (3)).
However, if an appropriate number and type of mitigation bank or in-lieu credits are not available at the
time the PCN is submitted to the district engineer, the district enginee r may approve the use of permittee-
responsible mitigation.
(2) The amount of compensatory mitigation required by the district engineer must be sufficient to ensure
that the authorized activity results in no more than minimal individual and cumulative adv erse
environmental effects (see 33 CFR 330.1(e)(3)). (See also 33 CFR 332.3(f).)
(3) Since the likelihood of success is greater and the impacts to potentially valuable uplands are reduced,
aquatic resource restoration should be the first compensatory mi tigation option considered for permittee-
responsible mitigation.
(4) If permittee-responsible mitigation is the proposed option, the prospective permittee is responsible for
submitting a mitigation plan. A conceptual or detailed mitigation plan may be used by the district engineer
to make the decision on the NWP verification request, but a final mitigation plan that addresses the
applicable requirements of 33 CFR 332.4(c)(2) through (14) must be approved by the district engineer
before the permittee begins work in waters of the United States, unless the district engineer determines
that prior approval of the final mitigation plan is not practicable or not necessary to ensure timely
completion of the required compensatory mitigation (see 33 CFR 332.3(k)(3)). If permittee -responsible
mitigation is the proposed option, and the proposed compensatory mitigation site is located on land in
which another federal agency holds an easement, the district engineer will coordinate with that federal
agency to determine if proposed compensatory mitigation project is compatible with the te rms of the
easement.
(5) If mitigation bank or in-lieu fee program credits are the proposed option, the mitigation plan needs to
address only the baseline conditions at the impact site and the number of credits to be provided (see 33
CFR 332.4(c)(1)(ii)).
(6) Compensatory mitigation requirements (e.g., resource type and amount to be provided as
compensatory mitigation, site protection, ecological performance standards, monitoring requirements)
may be addressed through conditions added to the NWP authorization, instead of components of a
compensatory mitigation plan (see 33 CFR 332.4(c)(1)(ii)).
(g) Compensatory mitigation will not be used to increase the acreage losses allowed by the acreage limits
of the NWPs. For example, if an NWP has an acreage limit of 1/2-acre, it cannot be used to authorize any
NWP activity resulting in the loss of greater than 1/2-acre of waters of the United States, even if
compensatory mitigation is provided that replaces or restores some of the lost waters. However,
compensatory mitigation can and should be used, as necessary, to ensure that an NWP activity already
10
meeting the established acreage limits also satisfies the no more than minimal impact requirement for the
NWPs.
(h) Permittees may propose the use of mitigation banks, in-lieu fee programs, or permittee-responsible
mitigation. When developing a compensatory mitigation proposal, the permittee must consider
appropriate and practicable options consistent with the framework at 33 CFR 332.3(b). For activities
resulting in the loss of marine or estuarine resources, permittee-responsible mitigation may be
environmentally preferable if there are no mitigation banks or in-lieu fee programs in the area that have
marine or estuarine credits available for sale or transfer to the permittee. For permittee-responsible
mitigation, the special conditions of the NWP verification must clearly indicate the party or parties
responsible for the implementation and performance of the compensatory mitigation project, and, if
required, its long-term management.
(i) Where certain functions and services of waters of the United States are permanently adversely
affected by a regulated activity, such as discharges of dredged or fill material into waters of the United
States that will convert a forested or scrub-shrub wetland to a herbaceous wetland in a permanently
maintained utility line right-of-way, mitigation may be required to reduce the adverse environmental
effects of the activity to the no more than minimal level.
24. Safety of Impoundment Structures. To ensure that all impoundment structures are safely designed,
the district engineer may require non-Federal applicants to demonstrate that the structures comply with
established state or federal, dam safety criteria or have been designed by qu alified persons. The district
engineer may also require documentation that the design has been independently reviewed by similarly
qualified persons, and appropriate modifications made to ensure safety.
25. Water Quality. (a) Where the certifying authority (state, authorized tribe, or EPA, as appropriate) has
not previously certified compliance of an NWP with CWA section 401, a CWA section 401 water quality
certification for the proposed discharge must be obtained or waived (see 33 CFR 330.4(c)). If the
permittee cannot comply with all of the conditions of a water quality certification previously issued by
certifying authority for the issuance of the NWP, then the permittee must obtain a water quality
certification or waiver for the proposed discharge in or der for the activity to be authorized by an NWP.
(b) If the NWP activity requires pre-construction notification and the certifying authority has not previously
certified compliance of an NWP with CWA section 401, the proposed discharge is not authorized by an
NWP until water quality certification is obtained or waived. If the certifying authority issues a water quality
certification for the proposed discharge, the permittee must submit a copy of the certification to the district
engineer. The discharge is not authorized by an NWP until the district engineer has notified the permittee
that the water quality certification requirement has been satisfied by the issuance of a water quality
certification or a waiver.
(c) The district engineer or certifying authority may require additional water quality management
measures to ensure that the authorized activity does not result in more than minimal degradation of water
quality.
26. Coastal Zone Management. In coastal states where an NWP has not previously received a state
coastal zone management consistency concurrence, an individual state coastal zone management
consistency concurrence must be obtained, or a presumption of concurrence must occur (see 33 CFR
330.4(d)). If the permittee cannot comply with all of the conditions of a coastal zone management
consistency concurrence previously issued by the state, then the permittee must obtain an individual
coastal zone management consistency concurrence or presumption of concurrence in order for the
activity to be authorized by an NWP. The district engineer or a state may require additional measures to
ensure that the authorized activity is consistent with state coastal zone management requirements.
27. Regional and Case-By-Case Conditions. The activity must comply with any regional conditions that
may have been added by the Division Engineer (see 33 CFR 330.4(e)) and with any case specific
conditions added by the Corps or by the state, Indian Tribe, or U.S. EPA in its CWA section 401 Water
Quality Certification, or by the state in its Coastal Zone Management Act consistency determination.
11
28. Use of Multiple Nationwide Permits. The use of more than one NWP for a single and complete project
is authorized, subject to the following restrictions:
(a) If only one of the NWPs used to authorize the single and complete project has a specified acreage
limit, the acreage loss of waters of the United States cannot exceed the acreage limit of the NWP with the
highest specified acreage limit. For example, if a road crossing over tidal waters is constructed under
NWP 14, with associated bank stabilization authorized by NWP 13, the maximum acreage loss of waters
of the United States for the total project cannot exceed 1⁄3-acre.
(b) If one or more of the NWPs used to authorize the single and complete project has specified acreage
limits, the acreage loss of waters of the United States authorized by those NWPs cannot exceed their
respective specified acreage limits. For example, if a commercial development is constructed under NWP
39, and the single and complete project includes the filling of an upland ditch authorized by NWP 46, the
maximum acreage loss of waters of the United States for the commercial development under NWP 39
cannot exceed 1/2-acre, and the total acreage loss of waters of United States due to the NWP 39 and 46
activities cannot exceed 1 acre.
29. Transfer of Nationwide Permit Verifications. If the permittee sells the property associated with a
nationwide permit verification, the permittee may transfer the nationwide permit verification to the new
owner by submitting a letter to the appropriate Corps district office to validate the transfer. A copy of the
nationwide permit verification must be attached to the letter, and the letter must contain the following
statement and signature:
“When the structures or work authorized by this nationwide permit are still in existence at the time the
property is transferred, the terms and conditions of this nationwide permit, including any special
conditions, will continue to be binding on the new owner(s) of the property. To validate the transfer of this
nationwide permit and the associated liabilities associated with compliance with its terms and conditions,
have the transferee sign and date below.”
_____________________________________________
(Transferee)
_____________________________________________
(Date)
30. Compliance Certification. Each permittee who receives an NWP verification letter from the Corps must
provide a signed certification documenting completion of the authorized activity and implementation of
any required compensatory mitigation. The success of any required permittee-responsible mitigation,
including the achievement of ecological performance standards, will be addressed separately by the
district engineer. The Corps will provide the permittee the certification document with the NWP verification
letter. The certification document will include:
(a) A statement that the authorized activity was done in accordance with the NWP authorization, including
any general, regional, or activity-specific conditions;
(b) A statement that the implementation of any required compensatory mitigation was completed in
accordance with the permit conditions. If credits from a mitigation bank or in-lieu fee program are used to
satisfy the compensatory mitigation requirements, the certification must include the documentation
required by 33 CFR 332.3(l)(3) to confirm that the permittee secured the appropriate number and
resource type of credits; and
(c) The signature of the permittee certifying the completion of the activity and mitigation.
12
The completed certification document must be submitted to the district engineer within 30 days of
completion of the authorized activity or the implementation of any required compensatory mitigation,
whichever occurs later.
31. Activities Affecting Structures or Works Built by the United States. If an NWP activity also requires
review by, or permission from, the Corps pursuant to 33 U.S.C. 408 because it will alter or temporarily or
permanently occupy or use a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) federally authorized Civil Works
project (a “USACE project”), the prospective permittee must submit a pre-construction notification. See
paragraph (b)(10) of general condition 32. An activity that requires section 408 permission and/or review
is not authorized by an NWP until the appropriate Corps office issues the section 408 permission or
completes its review to alter, occupy, or use the USACE project, and the district engineer issues a written
NWP verification.
32. Pre-Construction Notification. (a) Timing. Where required by the terms of the NWP, the prospective
permittee must notify the district engineer by submitting a pre-construction notification (PCN) as early as
possible. The district engineer must determine if the PCN is complete within 30 calendar days of the date
of receipt and, if the PCN is determined to be incomplete, notify the prospective permittee within that 30
day period to request the additional information necessary to make the PCN complete. The request must
specify the information needed to make the PCN complete. As a general rule, district engineers will
request additional information necessary to make the PCN complete only once. However, if the
prospective permittee does not provide all of the requested information, then the district engineer will
notify the prospective permittee that the PCN is still incomplete and the PCN review process will not
commence until all of the requested information has been received by the district engineer. The
prospective permittee shall not begin the activity until either:
(1) He or she is notified in writing by the district engineer that the activity may proceed under the NWP
with any special conditions imposed by the district or division engineer; or
(2) 45 calendar days have passed from the district engineer’s receipt of the complete PCN and the
prospective permittee has not received written notice from the district or division engineer. However, if the
permittee was required to notify the Corps pursuant to general condition 18 that listed species or critical
habitat might be affected or are in the vicinity of the activity, or to notify the Corps pursuant to general
condition 20 that the activity might have the potential to cause effects to historic properties, the permittee
cannot begin the activity until receiving written notification from the Corps that there is “no effect” on listed
species or “no potential to cause effects” on historic properties, or that any consultation required under
Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act (see 33 CFR 330.4(f)) and/or section 106 of the National
Historic Preservation Act (see 33 CFR 330.4(g)) has been completed. If the proposed activity requires a
written waiver to exceed specified limits of an NWP, t he permittee may not begin the activity until the
district engineer issues the waiver. If the district or division engineer notifies the permittee in writing that
an individual permit is required within 45 calendar days of receipt of a complete PCN, the pe rmittee
cannot begin the activity until an individual permit has been obtained. Subsequently, the permittee’s right
to proceed under the NWP may be modified, suspended, or revoked only in accordance with the
procedure set forth in 33 CFR 330.5(d)(2).
(b) Contents of Pre-Construction Notification: The PCN must be in writing and include the following
information:
(1) Name, address and telephone numbers of the prospective permittee;
(2) Location of the proposed activity;
(3) Identify the specific NWP or NWP(s) the prospective permittee wants to use to authorize the proposed
activity;
(4) (i) A description of the proposed activity; the activity’s purpose; direct and indirect adverse
environmental effects the activity would cause, including the anticipat ed amount of loss of wetlands, other
special aquatic sites, and other waters expected to result from the NWP activity, in acres, linear feet, or
13
other appropriate unit of measure; a description of any proposed mitigation measures intended to reduce
the adverse environmental effects caused by the proposed activity; and any other NWP(s), regional
general permit(s), or individual permit(s) used or intended to be used to authorize any part of the
proposed project or any related activity, including other separat e and distant crossings for linear projects
that require Department of the Army authorization but do not require pre-construction notification. The
description of the proposed activity and any proposed mitigation measures should be sufficiently detailed
to allow the district engineer to determine that the adverse environmental effects of the activity will be no
more than minimal and to determine the need for compensatory mitigation or other mitigation measures.
(ii) For linear projects where one or more single and complete crossings require pre-construction
notification, the PCN must include the quantity of anticipated losses of wetlands, other special aquatic
sites, and other waters for each single and complete crossing of those wetlands, other special a quatic
sites, and other waters (including those single and complete crossings authorized by an NWP but do not
require PCNs). This information will be used by the district engineer to evaluate the cumulative adverse
environmental effects of the proposed linear project, and does not change those non-PCN NWP activities
into NWP PCNs.
(iii) Sketches should be provided when necessary to show that the activity complies with the terms of the
NWP. (Sketches usually clarify the activity and when provided results in a quicker decision. Sketches
should contain sufficient detail to provide an illustrative description of the proposed activity (e.g., a
conceptual plan), but do not need to be detailed engineering plans);
(5) The PCN must include a delineation of wetlands, other special aquatic sites, and other waters, such
as lakes and ponds, and perennial and intermittent streams, on the project site. Wetland delineations
must be prepared in accordance with the current method required by the Corps. The permittee may ask
the Corps to delineate the special aquatic sites and other waters on the project site, but there may be a
delay if the Corps does the delineation, especially if the project site is large or contains many wetlands,
other special aquatic sites, and other waters. Furthermore, the 45-day period will not start until the
delineation has been submitted to or completed by the Corps, as appropriate;
(6) If the proposed activity will result in the loss of greater than 1/10-acre of wetlands or 3/100-acre of
stream bed and a PCN is required, the prospective permittee must submit a statement describing how the
mitigation requirement will be satisfied, or explaining why the adverse environmental effects are no more
than minimal and why compensatory mitigation should not be required. As an alternative, the prospective
permittee may submit a conceptual or detailed mitigation plan.
(7) For non-federal permittees, if any listed species (or species proposed for listing) or designated critical
habitat (or critical habitat proposed for such designation) might be affected or is in the vicinity of the
activity, or if the activity is located in designated critical habitat (or critical habitat proposed for such
designation), the PCN must include the name(s) of those endangered or threatened species (or species
proposed for listing) that might be affected by the proposed activity or utilize the designated critical habitat
(or critical habitat proposed for such designation) that might be affected by the proposed activity. For
NWP activities that require pre-construction notification, Federal permittees must provide documentation
demonstrating compliance with the Endangered Species Act;
(8) For non-federal permittees, if the NWP activity might have the potential to cause effects to a historic
property listed on, determined to be eligible for listing on, or potentially eligible for listing on, the National
Register of Historic Places, the PCN must state which historic property might have the potential to be
affected by the proposed activity or include a vicinity map indicating the location of the historic property.
For NWP activities that require pre-construction notification, Federal permittees must provide
documentation demonstrating compliance with section 106 of the National Histor ic Preservation Act;
(9) For an activity that will occur in a component of the National Wild and Scenic River System, or in a
river officially designated by Congress as a “study river” for possible inclusion in the system while the river
is in an official study status, the PCN must identify the Wild and Scenic River or the “study river” (see
general condition 16); and
14
(10) For an NWP activity that requires permission from, or review by, the Corps pursuant to 33 U.S.C. 408
because it will alter or temporarily or permanently occupy or use a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
federally authorized civil works project, the pre-construction notification must include a statement
confirming that the project proponent has submitted a written request for section 408 perm ission from, or
review by, the Corps office having jurisdiction over that USACE project.
(c) Form of Pre-Construction Notification: The nationwide permit pre-construction notification form (Form
ENG 6082) should be used for NWP PCNs. A letter containing the required information may also be
used. Applicants may provide electronic files of PCNs and supporting materials if the district engineer
has established tools and procedures for electronic submittals.
(d) Agency Coordination: (1) The district engineer will consider any comments from Federal and state
agencies concerning the proposed activity’s compliance with the terms and conditions of the NWPs and
the need for mitigation to reduce the activity’s adverse environmental effects so that they are no more
than minimal.
(2) Agency coordination is required for: (i) all NWP activities that require pre-construction notification and
result in the loss of greater than 1/2-acre of waters of the United States; (ii) NWP 13 activities in excess of
500 linear feet, fills greater than one cubic yard per running foot, or involve discharges of dredged or fill
material into special aquatic sites; and (iii) NWP 54 activities in excess of 500 linear feet, or that extend
into the waterbody more than 30 feet from the mean low water line in tidal waters or the ordinary high
water mark in the Great Lakes.
(3) When agency coordination is required, the district engineer will immediately provide (e.g., via e -mail,
facsimile transmission, overnight mail, or other expeditious manner) a copy of the complete PCN to the
appropriate Federal or state offices (FWS, state natural resource or water quality agency, EPA, and, if
appropriate, the NMFS). With the exception of NWP 37, these agencies will have 10 calendar days from
the date the material is transmitted to notify the district engineer via telephone, facsimile transmission, or
e-mail that they intend to provide substantive, site-specific comments. The comments must explain why
the agency believes the adverse environmental effects will be more than minimal. If so contacted by an
agency, the district engineer will wait an additional 15 calendar days before making a decision on the pre -
construction notification. The district engineer will fully consider agency comments received within the
specified time frame concerning the proposed activity’s compliance with the terms and conditions of the
NWPs, including the need for mitigation to ensure that the net adverse environmental effects of the
proposed activity are no more than minimal. The district engineer will provide no response to the resource
agency, except as provided below. The district engineer will indicate in the administrative record
associated with each pre-construction notification that the resource agencies’ concerns were considered.
For NWP 37, the emergency watershed protection and rehabilitation activity may proceed immediately in
cases where there is an unacceptable hazard to life or a significant loss of property or economic hardship
will occur. The district engineer will consider any comments received to decide whether the NWP 37
authorization should be modified, suspended, or revoked in accordance with the procedures at 33 CFR
330.5.
(4) In cases of where the prospective permittee is not a Federal agency, the distr ict engineer will provide
a response to NMFS within 30 calendar days of receipt of any Essential Fish Habitat conservation
recommendations, as required by section 305(b)(4)(B) of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation
and Management Act.
(5) Applicants are encouraged to provide the Corps with either electronic files or multiple copies of pre -
construction notifications to expedite agency coordination.
C. SEATTLE DISTRICT REGIONAL GENERAL CONDITIONS: The following conditions apply to the
2021 NWPs - Final 41 NWPs for the Seattle District in Washington State, as applicable.
RGC 1, Project Drawings
Drawings must be submitted with pre-construction notification (PCN). Drawings must provide a clear
understanding of the proposed project, and how waters of the United States will be affected. Drawings
15
must be originals and not reduced copies of large-scale plans. Engineering drawings are not required.
Existing and proposed site conditions (manmade and landscape features) must be drawn to scale.
RGC 2, Aquatic Resources Requiring Special Protection
A PCN is required for activities resulting in a loss of waters of the United States in wetlands in dunal
systems along the Washington coast, mature forested wetlands, bogs and peatlands, aspen-dominated
wetlands, alkali wetlands, vernal pools, camas prairie wetlands, estuarine wetlands, and wetlands in
coastal lagoons.
RGC 3, New Bank Stabilization in Tidal Waters of Puget Sound
Activities involving new bank stabilization in tidal waters in Water Resource Inventory Areas (WRIAs) 8, 9,
10, 11 and 12 (within the areas identified on Figures 1a through 1e) cannot be authorized by NWP.
RGC 4, Commencement Bay
No permanent losses of wetlands or mudflats within the Commencement Bay Study Area may be
authorized by any NWP (see Figure 2).
RGC 5, Bank Stabilization
All projects including new or maintenance bank stabilization activities in waters of the United States
where salmonid species are present or could be present, requires PCN to the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers (Corps) (see NWP general condition 32).
For new bank stabilization projects only, the following must be submitted to the Corps:
a. The cause of the erosion and the distance of any existing structures from the area(s) being
stabilized.
b. The type and length of existing bank stabilization within 300 feet of the proposed project.
c. A description of current conditions and expected post-project conditions in the waterbody.
d. A statement describing how the project incorporates elements avoiding and minimizing adverse
environmental effects to the aquatic environment and nearshore riparian area, including
vegetation impacts in the waterbody.
In addition to a. through d., the results from any relevant geotechnical investigations can be submitted
with the PCN if it describes current or expected conditions in the waterbody.
RGC 6, Crossings of Waters of the United States
Any project including installing, replacing, or modifying crossings of waters of the United States, such as
culverts or bridges, requires submittal of a PCN to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (see NWP general
condition 32).
If a culvert is proposed to cross waters of the U.S. where salmonid species are present or could be
present, the project must apply the stream simulation design method from the Washington Department of
Fish and Wildlife located in the Water Crossing Design Guidelines (2013), or a design method which
provides passage at all life stages at all flows where the salmonid species wo uld naturally seek passage.
If the stream simulation design method is not applied for a culvert where salmonid species are present or
could be present, the project proponent must provide a rationale in the PCN sufficient to establish one of
the following:
a. The existence of extraordinary site conditions.
b. How the proposed design will provide equivalent or better fish passage and fisheries habitat
benefits than the stream simulation design method.
Culverts installed under emergency authorization that do not meet the above design criteria will be
required to meet the above design criteria to receive an after-the-fact nationwide permit verification.
RGC 7, Stream Loss
A PCN is required for all activities that result in the loss of any linear feet of streams.
RGC 8, Construction Boundaries
Permittees must clearly mark all construction area boundaries within waters of the United States before
beginning work on projects that involve grading or placement of fill. Boundary markers and/or
construction fencing must be maintained and clearly visible for the duration of construction. Permittees
16
should avoid and minimize removal of native vegetation (including submerged aquatic vegetation) to the
maximum extent possible.
RGC 9, ESA Reporting to NMFS
For any nationwide permit that may affect threatened or endangered species;
Incidents where any individuals of fish species, marine mammals and/or sea turtles listed by National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Fisheries, National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) unde r the
Endangered Species Act appear to be injured or killed as a result of discharges of dredged or fill material
into waters of the U.S. or structures or work in navigable waters of the U.S. authorized by this Nationwide
Permit verification shall be reported to NMFS, Office of Protected Resources at (301) 713-1401 and the
Regulatory Office of the Seattle District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers at (206) 764-3495. The
finder should leave the animal alone, make note of any circumstances likely causing t he death or injury,
note the location and number of individuals involved and, if possible, take photographs. Adult animals
should not be disturbed unless circumstances arise where they are obviously injured or killed by
discharge exposure or some unnatural cause. The finder may be asked to carry out instructions provided
by the NMFS to collect specimens or take other measures to ensure that evidence intrinsic to the
specimen is preserved.
D. SEATTLE DISTRICT REGIONAL SPECIFIC CONDITIONS FOR THIS NWP:
NWP 27 Specific Regional Conditions:
1. A pre-construction notification (PCN) must be submitted to the district engineer (see NWP
general condition 32) for any proposed project located in a Department of the Army permit
compensatory mitigation site, Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability
Act (Superfund) site, Resource Conservation and Recovery Act hazardous waste clean-up site,
Washington State Department of Ecology compensatory mitigation site, or Washington State Model
Toxics Control Act clean-up site.
2. For projects subject to PCN, if there is a loss of waters of the U.S. the project proponent must
explain in the PCN why the loss is necessary. The project proponent must also demonstrate how
despite the loss of waters the overall project would result in a net increase in aquatic/ecological
functions .
3. The PCN must contain a description of pre-project site conditions including presence of wetlands
(including photographs) and aquatic/ecological functions the site provides within the watershed.
4. For projects that would result in a loss of waters of the U.S., the project proponent must include
maintenance and monitoring plans with the PCN.
5. Restoration projects involving shellfish seeding must use shellfish native to the watershed.
E. 401 WATER QUALITY CERTIFICATION: Depending on the geographic region of the work authorized
by this verification, the appropriate 401 certifying authority has made the following determinations:
Washington Department of Ecology (Ecology) (Projects in all areas except as described for the
other certifying agencies listed below): General and Specific WQC Conditions
A. State General Conditions for all Nationwide Permits
In addition to all of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ (Corps) national and Seattle District’s regional
permit conditions, the following state general Water Quality Certification (WQC) conditions apply to all
NWPs whether granted or granted with conditions in Washington where Ecology is the certifying
authority.
Due to the lack of site specific information on the discharge types, quantities, and specific locations, as
well as the condition of receiving waters and the quantity of waters (including wetlands) that may be lost,
17
Ecology may need to review the project if one of the following state general conditions is triggered.
This case-by-case review may be required, and additional information regarding the project and
associated discharges may be needed, to verify that the proposed project would comply with state water
quality requirements and if an individual WQC is required or if the project meets this programmatic
WQC.
1. In-water construction activities. Ecology WQC review is required for projects or activities
authorized under NWPs where the project proponent has indicated on the Joint Aquatic Resource
Permit Application (JARPA) question 9e that the project or activity will not meet State water
quality standards, or has provided information indicating that the project or activity will cause, or
may be likely to cause or contribute to an exceedance of a State water quality standard (Chapter
173-201A WAC) or sediment management standard (Chapter 173-204 WAC).
Note: In-water activities include any activity within a jurisdictional wetland and/or waters.
2. Projects or Activities Discharging to Impaired Waters. Ecology WQC review is required for
projects or activities that will occur in a 303(d) listed segment of a waterbody or upstream of a listed
segment and may result in further exceedances of the specific listed parameter to determine if the
project meets this programmatic WQC or will require individual WQC.
To determine if your project or activity is in a 303(d) listed segment of a waterbody, visit Ecology’s Water
Quality Assessment webpage for maps and search tools.
3. Aquatic resources requiring special protection. Certain aquatic resources are unique and
difficult-to-replace components of the aquatic environment in Washington. Activities that would
affect these resources must be avoided to the greatest extent practicable. Compensating for
adverse impacts to high value aquatic resources is typically difficult, prohibitively expensive, and
may not be possible in some landscape settings.
Ecology WQC review is required for projects or activities in areas identified below to determine if the
project meets this programmatic WQC or will require individual WQC.
a. Activities in or affecting the following aquatic resources:
i. Wetlands with special characteristics (as defined in the Washington State
Wetland Rating Systems for western and eastern Washington, Ecology
Publications #14-06-029 and #14-06-030):
• Estuarine wetlands.
• Wetlands of High Conservation Value.
• Bogs.
• Old-growth forested wetlands and mature forested wetlands.
• Wetlands in coastal lagoons.
• Wetlands in dunal systems along the Washington coast.
• Vernal pools.
• Alkali wetlands.
ii. Fens, aspen-dominated wetlands, camas prairie wetlands.
iii. Category I wetlands.
iv. Category II wetlands with a habitat score ≥ 8 points.
b. Activities in or resulting in a loss of eelgrass (Zostera marina) beds.
18
This state general condition does not apply to the following NWPs:
NWP 20 – Response Operations for Oil and Hazardous Substances
NWP 32 – Completed Enforcement Actions
NWP 48 – Commercial Shellfish Mariculture Activities
4. Loss of More than 300 Linear Feet of Streambed. For any project that results in the loss of more
than 300 linear feet of streambed Ecology WQC review is required to determine if the project meets
this programmatic WQC or will require individual WQC.
5. Temporary Fills. For any project or activity with temporary fill in wetlands or other waters for
more than six months Ecology WQC review is required to determine if the project meets this
programmatic WQC or will require individual WQC.
6. Mitigation. Project proponents are required to show that they have followed the mitigation
sequence and have first avoided and minimized impacts to aquatic resources wherever practicable.
For projects requiring Ecology WQC review or an individual WQC with unavoidable impacts to
aquatics resources, a mitigation plan must be provided.
a. Wetland mitigation plans submitted for Ecology review and approval shall be based
on the most current guidance provided in Wetland Mitigation in Washington State,
Parts 1 and 2 (available on Ecology’s website) and shall, at a minimum, include the
following:
i. A description of the measures taken to avoid and minimize impacts to
wetlands and other waters of the U.S.
ii. The nature of the proposed impacts (i.e., acreage of wetlands and
functions lost or degraded).
iii. The rationale for the mitigation site that was selected.
iv. The goals and objectives of the compensatory mitigation project.
v. How the mitigation project will be accomplished, including construction
sequencing, best management practices to protect water quality,
proposed performance standards for measuring success and the
proposed buffer widths.
vi. How it will be maintained and monitored to assess progress toward goals
and objectives. Monitoring will generally be required for a minimum of five
years. For forested and scrub-shrub wetlands, 10 years of monitoring will
often be necessary.
vii. How the compensatory mitigation site will be legally protected for the long
term.
Refer to Wetland Mitigation in Washington State – Part 2: Developing Mitigation Plans (Ecology
Publication #06-06-011b) and Selecting Wetland Mitigation Sites Using a Watershed Approach
(Ecology Publications #09-06- 032 (Western Washington) and #10-06-007 (Eastern Washington)) for
guidance on selecting suitable mitigation sites and developing mitigation plans.
Ecology encourages the use of alternative mitigation approaches, including credit/debit methodology,
advance mitigation, and other programmatic approaches such as mitigation banks and in-lieu fee
programs. If you are interested in proposing use of an alternative mitigation approach, consult with the
19
appropriate Ecology regional staff person. Information on alternative mitigation approaches is available
on Ecology’s website.
b. Mitigation for other aquatic resource impacts will be determined on a case-by- case
basis.
7. Stormwater Pollution Prevention. All projects involving land disturbance or impervious surfaces
must implement stormwater pollution prevention or control measures to avoid discharge of pollutants
in stormwater runoff to waters.
a. For land disturbances during construction, the applicant must obtain and
implement permits (e.g., Construction Stormwater General Permit) where
required and follow Ecology’s current stormwater manual.
b. Following construction, prevention or treatment of on-going stormwater runoff from
impervious surfaces shall be provided.
Ecology’s Stormwater Management and Design Manuals and stormwater permit information are available
on Ecology’s website.
8. Application. For projects or activities that will require Ecology WQC review, or an individual
WQC, project proponents must provide Ecology with a JARPA or the equivalent information,
along with the documentation provided to the Corps, as described in national general
condition 32, Pre-Construction Notification (PCN), including, where applicable:
a. A description of the project, including site plans, project purpose, direct and indirect
adverse environmental effects the project discharge(s) would cause, best management
practices (BMPs), and proposed means to monitor the discharge(s).
b. List of all federal, state or local agency authorizations required to be used for any part
of the proposed project or any related activity.
c. Drawings indicating the OHWM, delineation of special aquatic sites, and other waters of
the state. Wetland delineations must be prepared in accordance with the current method
required by the Corps and shall include Ecology’s Wetland Rating form. Wetland Rating
forms are subject to review and verification by Ecology staff.
Guidance for determining the OHWM is available on Ecology’s website.
d. A statement describing how the mitigation requirement will be satisfied. A conceptual
or detailed mitigation or restoration plan may be submitted. See state general condition
5.
e. Other applicable requirements of Corps NWP general condition 32, Corps regional
conditions, or notification conditions of the applicable NWP.
Ecology grants with conditions Water Quality Certification (WQC) for this NWP provided that
Ecology individual WQC review is not required per the state general conditions (see above) and the
following conditions:
Ecology Section 401 Water Quality Certification – Granted with conditions.
1. Ecology WQC review is required if the project or activity is in a known contaminated or
cleanup site to determine if an individual WQC is required or the project meets the
programmatic WQC for this NWP.
20
2. Ecology individual WQC is required for projects or activities authorized under this NWP
if:
a. The project or activity directly impacts ½ acre or more of tidal waters; or
b. The project or activity affects ½ acre or more of wetlands; or
c. The project or activity is a mitigation bank or an advance mitigation site.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) (on Tribal Lands where Tribes Do Not Have Treatment in
a Similar Manner as a State and Lands with Exclusive Federal Jurisdiction in Washington):
On behalf of the 28 tribes that do not have treatment in a similar manner as a state and for exclusive
federal jurisdiction lands located within the state of Washington, EPA Region 10 has determined that
CWA Section 401 WQC for the following proposed NWPs is granted with conditions. EPA Region 10
has determined that any discharge authorized under the following proposed NWPs will comply with
water quality requirements, as defined at 40 C.F.R. § 121.1(n), subject to the following conditions
pursuant to CWA Section 401(d).
General Conditions:
EPA General Condition 1 – Aquatic Resources of Special Concern
Activities resulting in a point source discharge in the following types of aquatic resources of special
concern shall request an individual project-specific CWA Section 401 WQC: mature forested wetlands;
bogs, fens and other peatlands; vernal pools; aspen-dominated wetlands; alkali wetlands; camas
prairie wetlands; wetlands in dunal systems along the Oregon or Washington Coast; riffle-pool
complexes of streams; marine or estuarine mud-flats; salt marshes; marine waters with native eelgrass
or kelp beds; or marine nearshore forage fish habitat. To identify whether a project would occur in any
of these aquatic resources of special concern, project proponents shall use existing and available
information to identify the location and type of resources, including using the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service’s online digital National Wetland Inventory maps, identifying project location on topographical
maps, and/or providing on-site determinations as required by the Corps. When a project requires a Pre-
Construction Notification (PCN) to the Corps, project proponents shall work with the Corps to identify
whether the project is in any of these specific aquatic resources of special concern.
EPA General Condition 2 – Soil Erosion and Sediment Controls
Turbidity shall not exceed background turbidity by more than 50 Nephelometric Turbidity Units (NTU)
above background instantaneously or more than 25 NTU above background for more than ten
consecutive days.8 Projects or activities that are expected to exceed these levels require an individual
project-specific CWA Section 401 WQC.
The turbidity standard shall be met at the following distances from the discharge:
Wetted Stream Width at Discharge
Point
Approximate Downstream Point to
Sample to Determine Compliance
Up to 30 feet 50 feet
>30 to 100 feet 100 feet
>100 feet to 200 feet 200 feet
>200 feet 300 feet
Lake, Pond, Reservoir
Lesser of 100 feet or maximum surface
distance
21
For Marine Water Point of Compliance for Temporary Area of
Mixing
Estuaries or Marine Waters
Radius of 150 feet from the activity causing
the turbidity exceedance
Measures to prevent and/or reduce turbidity shall be implemented and monitored prior to, during, and
after construction. Turbidity monitoring shall be done at the point of compliance within 24 hours of a
precipitation event of 0.25 inches or greater. During monitoring and maintenance, if turbidity limits are
exceeded or if measures are identified as ineffective, then additional measures shall be taken to come
into compliance and EPA shall be notified within 48 hours of the exceedance or measure failure.
EPA General Condition 3 - Compliance with Stormwater Pollution Prevention and the National Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System Permit Provisions
For land disturbances during construction that 1) disturb one or more acres of land, or 2) will disturb
less than one acre of land but are part of a common plan of development or sale that will ultimately
disturb one or more acres of land, the permittee shall obtain and implement Construction Stormwater
General Permit requirements,9 including:
1. The permittee shall develop a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP)10 and submit
it to EPA Region 10 and appropriate Corps District; and
2. Following construction, prevention or treatment of ongoing stormwater
runoff from impervious surfaces that includes soil infiltration shall be
implemented.
EPA General Condition 4 – Projects or Activities Discharging to Impaired Waters
Projects or activities are not authorized under the NWPs if the project will involve point source
discharges into an active channel (e.g., flowing or open waters) of a water of the U.S. listed as
impaired under CWA Section 303(d) and/or if the waterbody has an approved Total Maximum Daily
Load (TMDL) and the discharge may result in further exceedance of a specific parameter (e.g., total
suspended solids, dissolved oxygen, temperature) for which the waterbody is listed or has an
approved TMDL. The current lists of impaired waters of the U.S. under CWA Section 303(d) and
waters of the U.S. for which a TMDL has been approved are available on EPA Region 10’s web site at:
https://www.epa.gov/tmdl/impaired-waters-and-tmdls-region-10.
EPA General Condition 5 – Notice to EPA
All project proponents shall provide notice to EPA Region 10 prior to commencing construction
activities authorized by a NWP. This will provide EPA Region 10 with the opportunity to inspect the
activity for the purposes of determining whether any discharge from the proposed project will violate
this CWA Section 401 WQC. Where the Corps requires a PCN for an applicable NWP, the project
proponent shall also provide the PCN to EPA Region 10. EPA Region 10 will provide written
notification to the project proponent if the proposed project will violate the water quality certification of
the NWP.
EPA General Condition 6 – Unsuitable Materials
The project proponent shall not use wood products treated with leachable chemical components (e.g.,
copper, arsenic, zinc, creosote, chromium, chloride, fluoride, pentachlorophenol), which result in a
discharge to waters of the U.S., unless the wood products meet the following criteria:
1. Wood preservatives and their application shall be in compliance with EPA label
requirements and criteria of approved EPA Registration Documents under the Federal
Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act;
2. Use of chemically treated wood products shall follow the Western Wood Preservatives
Institute (WWPI) guidelines and BMPs to minimize the preservative migrating from
treated wood into the aquatic environment;
3. For new or replacement wood structures, the wood shall be sealed with non-toxic
22
products such as water-based silica or soy-based water repellants or sealers to prevent
or limit leaching. Acceptable alternatives to chemically treated wood include untreated
wood, steel (painted, unpainted or coated with epoxy petroleum compound or plastic),
concrete and plastic lumber; and
4. All removal of chemically treated wood products (including pilings) shall follow the most
recent “EPA Region 10 Best Management Practices for Piling Removal and Placement
in Washington State.”
EPA NWP Specific Conditions:
NWP 27 is conditionally certified, subject to the general conditions listed above, except that an
individual project-specific WQC is required when the project:
1. Involves dam removal; or
2. Involves greater than 1 acre of impacts to waters of the U.S.; or
3. Would impact greater than 500 linear feet of waters of the U.S.; or
4. Involves greater than 1/2 acre of impacts to tidal wetlands or waters.
Specific Tribes with Certifying Authority (Projects in Specific Tribal Areas):
WQC was issued by the Swinomish Indian Tribal Community. WQC was waived by the Confederated
Tribes of the Chehalis Reservation and Colville Indian Reservation, Kalispel Tribe of Indians, Port
Gamble S'Klallam Tribe, Quinault Indian Nation, and the Spokane Tribe of Indians . WQC was denied by
the Lummi Nation, Makah Tribe, Puyallup Tribe of Indians, and the Tulalip Tribes; therefore, individual
WQC is required from these tribes.
F. COASTAL ZONE MANAGEMENT ACT (CZMA) CONSISTENCY RESPONSE FOR THIS NWP:
Ecology’s determination is that they concur with conditions that this NWP is consistent with CZMA.
CZM Federal Consistency Response – Concur with Conditions.

replace boulders or large woody debris in Madsen Creek at Renton, King County,
Washington. Based on the information you provided to us, Nationwide Permit (NWP) 3,
Maintenance and NWP 27, Aquatic Habitat Restoration, Establishment, and
Enhancement Activities (Federal Register December 27, 2021 Vol. 86, No. 245),
authorizes your proposal as depicted on the enclosed drawings dated April 2023.
In order for this authorization to be valid, you must ensure the work is performed in
accordance with the enclosed NWP 3 and 27, Terms and Conditions and the following
special conditions:
a. In order to meet the requirements of the Endangered Species Act you may
conduct the authorized activities from July 1 through August 31 in any year this permit is
valid. You shall not conduct work authorized by this permit from September 1 through
June 30 in any year this permit is valid.
b. You must implement and abide by the Endangered Species Act (ESA)
requirements and/or agreements set forth in the Endangered Species Act and Essential
Fish Habitat Analysis dated April 7, 2023, in its entirety. The National Marine Fisheries
Service (NMFS) provided the enclosed Letter of Concurrence (LOC) with a finding of
“may affect, not likely to adversely affect” based on this document on February 4, 2025
(NMFS Reference Number WCRO-2024-00329). The agency will be informed of this
permit issuance. Failure to comply with the commitments made in this consultation
constitutes non-compliance with the ESA and your U.S. Army Corps of Engineers

A. Description of Authorized Activities
B. U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) National General Conditions for All Final 41 NWPs
C. Seattle District Regional General Conditions
D. Seattle District Regional Specific Conditions for this Nationwide Permit (NWP)
E. 401 Water Quality Certification (401 WQC) for this NWP
F. Coastal Zone Management Consistency Response for this NWP
In addition to any special condition that may be required on a case-by-case basis by the District Engineer,
the following terms and conditions must be met, as applicable, for a Nationwide Permit (NWP) authorization
to be valid in Washington State.
A. DESCRIPTION OF AUTHORIZED ACTIVITIES
3. Maintenance. (a) The repair, rehabilitation, or replacement of any previously authorized, currently
serviceable structure or fill, or of any currently serviceable structure or fill authorized by 33 CFR 330.3,
provided that the structure or fill is not to be put to uses differing from those uses specified or
contemplated for it in the original permit or the most recently authorized modification. Minor deviations in
the structure's configuration or filled area, including those due to changes in materials, construction
techniques, requirements of other regulatory agencies, or current construction codes or safety standards
that are necessary to make the repair, rehabilitation, or replacement are authorized. This NWP also
authorizes the removal of previously authorized structures or fills. Any stream channel modification is
limited to the minimum necessary for the repair, rehabilitation, or replacement of the structure or fill; such
modifications, including the removal of material from the stream channel, must be immediately adjacent to
the project. This NWP also authorizes the removal of accumulated sediment and debris within, and in the
immediate vicinity of, the structure or fill. This NWP also authorizes the repair, rehabilitation, or
replacement of those structures or fills destroyed or damaged by storms, floods, fire or other discrete
events, provided the repair, rehabilitation, or replacement is commenced, or is under contract to
commence, within two years of the date of their destruction or damage. In cases of catastrophic events,
such as hurricanes or tornadoes, this two-year limit may be waived by the district engineer, provided the
permittee can demonstrate funding, contract, or other similar delays.
(b) This NWP also authorizes the removal of accumulated sediments and debris outside the immediate
vicinity of existing structures (e.g., bridges, culverted road crossings, water intake structures, etc.). The
removal of sediment is limited to the minimum necessary to restore the waterway in the vicinity of the
structure to the approximate dimensions that existed when the structure was built, but cannot extend
farther than 200 feet in any direction from the structure. This 200 foot limit does not apply to maintenance
dredging to remove accumulated sediments blocking or restricting outfall and intake structures or to
maintenance dredging to remove accumulated sediments from canals associated with outfall and intake
structures. All dredged or excavated materials must be deposited and retained in an area that has no
waters of the United States unless otherwise specifically approved by the district engineer under separate
authorization.
(c) This NWP also authorizes temporary structures, fills, and work, including the use of temporary mats,
necessary to conduct the maintenance activity. Appropriate measures must be taken to maintain normal
downstream flows and minimize flooding to the maximum extent practicable, when temporary structures,
work, and discharges of dredged or fill material, including cofferdams, are necessary for construction
activities, access fills, or dewatering of construction sites. Temporary fills must consist of materials, and
be placed in a manner, that will not be eroded by expected high flows. After conducting the maintenance
2
activity, temporary fills must be removed in their entirety and the affected areas returned to pre-
construction elevations. The areas affected by temporary fills must be revegetated, as appropriate.
(d) This NWP does not authorize maintenance dredging for the primary purpose of navigation. This NWP
does not authorize beach restoration. This NWP does not authorize new stream channelization or stream
relocation projects.
Notification: For activities authorized by paragraph (b) of this NWP, the permittee must submit a pre-
construction notification to the district engineer prior to commencing the activity (see general condition
32). The pre-construction notification must include information regarding the original design capacities
and configurations of the outfalls, intakes, small impoundments, and canals. (Authorities: Section 10 of
the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899 and Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (Sections 10 and 404))
Note: This NWP authorizes the repair, rehabilitation, or replacement of any previously authorized
structure or fill that does not qualify for the Clean Water Act Section 404(f) exemption for maintenance.
B. CORPS NATIONAL GENERAL CONDITIONS FOR ALL 2021 NWPs - FINAL 41
Note: To qualify for NWP authorization, the prospective permittee must comply with the following general
conditions, as applicable, in addition to any regional or case-specific conditions imposed by the division
engineer or district engineer. Prospective permittees should contact the appropriate Corps district office to
determine if regional conditions have been imposed on an NWP. Prospective permittees should also
contact the appropriate Corps district office to determine the status of Clean Water Act Section 401 water
quality certification and/or Coastal Zone Management Act consistency for an NWP. Every person who
may wish to obtain permit authorization under one or more NWPs, or who is currently relying on an
existing or prior permit authorization under one or more NWPs, has been and is on notice that all of the
provisions of 33 CFR 330.1 through 330.6 apply to every NWP authorization. Note especially 33 CFR
330.5 relating to the modification, suspension, or revocation of any NWP authorization.
1. Navigation. (a) No activity may cause more than a minimal adverse effect on navigation.
(b) Any safety lights and signals prescribed by the U.S. Coast Guard, through regulations or otherwise,
must be installed and maintained at the permittee's expense on authorized facilities in navigable waters of
the United States.
(c) The permittee understands and agrees that, if future operations by the United States require the
removal, relocation, or other alteration, of the structure or work herein authorized, or if, in the opinion of
the Secretary of the Army or his or her authorized representative, said structure or work shall cause
unreasonable obstruction to the free navigation of the navigable waters, the permittee will be required,
upon due notice from the Corps of Engineers, to remove, relocate, or alter the structural work or
obstructions caused thereby, without expense to the United States. No claim shall be made against the
United States on account of any such removal or alteration.
2. Aquatic Life Movements. No activity may substantially disrupt the necessary life cycle movements of
those species of aquatic life indigenous to the waterbody, including those species that normally migrate
through the area, unless the activity's primary purpose is to impound water. All permanent and temporary
crossings of waterbodies shall be suitably culverted, bridged, or otherwise designed and constructed to
maintain low flows to sustain the movement of those aquatic species. If a bottomless culvert cannot be
used, then the crossing should be designed and constructed to minimize adverse effects to aquatic life
movements.
3. Spawning Areas. Activities in spawning areas during spawning seasons must be avoided to the
maximum extent practicable. Activities that result in the physical destruction (e.g., through excavation, fill,
or downstream smothering by substantial turbidity) of an important spawning area are not authorized.
4. Migratory Bird Breeding Areas. Activities in waters of the United States that serve as breeding areas for
migratory birds must be avoided to the maximum extent practicable.
3
5. Shellfish Beds. No activity may occur in areas of concentrated shellfish populations, unless the activity
is directly related to a shellfish harvesting activity authorized by NWPs 4 and 48, or is a shellfish seeding
or habitat restoration activity authorized by NWP 27.
6. Suitable Material. No activity may use unsuitable material (e.g., trash, debris, car bodies, asphalt, etc.).
Material used for construction or discharged must be free from toxic pollutants in toxic amounts (see
section 307 of the Clean Water Act).
7. Water Supply Intakes. No activity may occur in the proximity of a public water supply intake, except
where the activity is for the repair or improvement of public water supply intake structures or adjacent
bank stabilization.
8. Adverse Effects From Impoundments. If the activity creates an impoundment of water, adverse effects
to the aquatic system due to accelerating the passage of water, and/or restricting its flow must be
minimized to the maximum extent practicable.
9. Management of Water Flows. To the maximum extent practicable, the pre-construction course,
condition, capacity, and location of open waters must be maintained for each activity, including stream
channelization, storm water management activities, and temporary and permanent road crossings, except
as provided below. The activity must be constructed to withstand expected high flows. The activity must
not restrict or impede the passage of normal or high flows, unless the primary purpose of the activity is to
impound water or manage high flows. The activity may alter the pre-construction course, condition,
capacity, and location of open waters if it benefits the aquatic environment (e.g., stream restoration or
relocation activities).
10. Fills Within 100-Year Floodplains. The activity must comply with applicable FEMA-approved state or
local floodplain management requirements.
11. Equipment. Heavy equipment working in wetlands or mudflats must be placed on mats, or other
measures must be taken to minimize soil disturbance.
12. Soil Erosion and Sediment Controls. Appropriate soil erosion and sediment controls must be used
and maintained in effective operating condition during construction, and all exposed soil and other fills, as
well as any work below the ordinary high water mark or high tide line, must be permanently stabilized at
the earliest practicable date. Permittees are encouraged to perform work within waters of the United
States during periods of low-flow or no-flow, or during low tides.
13. Removal of Temporary Structures and Fills. Temporary structures must be removed, to the maximum
extent practicable, after their use has been discontinued. Temporary fills must be removed in their entirety
and the affected areas returned to pre-construction elevations. The affected areas must be revegetated,
as appropriate.
14. Proper Maintenance. Any authorized structure or fill shall be properly maintained, including
maintenance to ensure public safety and compliance with applicable NWP general conditions, as well as
any activity-specific conditions added by the district engineer to an NWP authorization.
15. Single and Complete Project. The activity must be a single and complete project. The same NWP
cannot be used more than once for the same single and complete project.
16. Wild and Scenic Rivers. (a) No NWP activity may occur in a component of the National Wild and
Scenic River System, or in a river officially designated by Congress as a “study river” for possible
inclusion in the system while the river is in an official study status, unless the appropriate Federal agency
with direct management responsibility for such river, has determined in writing that the proposed activity
will not adversely affect the Wild and Scenic River designation or study status.
4
(b) If a proposed NWP activity will occur in a component of the National Wild and Scenic River System, or
in a river officially designated by Congress as a “study river” for possible inclusion in the system while the
river is in an official study status, the permittee must submit a pre-construction notification (see general
condition 32). The district engineer will coordinate the PCN with the Federal agency with direct
management responsibility for that river. Permittees shall not begin the NWP activity until notified by the
district engineer that the Federal agency with direct management responsibility for that river has
determined in writing that the proposed NWP activity will not adversely affect the Wild and Scenic River
designation or study status.
(c) Information on Wild and Scenic Rivers may be obtained from the appropriate Federal land
management agency responsible for the designated Wild and Scenic River or study river (e.g., National
Park Service, U.S. Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service).
Information on these rivers is also available at: http://www.rivers.gov/.
17. Tribal Rights. No activity or its operation may impair reserved tribal rights, including, but not limited to,
reserved water rights and treaty fishing and hunting rights.
18. Endangered Species. (a) No activity is authorized under any NWP which is likely to directly or
indirectly jeopardize the continued existence of a threatened or endangered species or a species
proposed for such designation, as identified under the Federal Endangered Species Act (ESA), or which
will directly or indirectly destroy or adversely modify designated critical habitat or critical habitat proposed
for such designation. No activity is authorized under any NWP which “may affect” a listed species or
critical habitat, unless ESA section 7 consultation addressing the consequences of the proposed activity
on listed species or critical habitat has been completed. See 50 CFR 402.02 for the definition of “effects
of the action” for the purposes of ESA section 7 consultation, as well as 50 CFR 402.17, which provides
further explanation under ESA section 7 regarding “activities that are reasonably certain to occur” and
“consequences caused by the proposed action.”
(b) Federal agencies should follow their own procedures for complying with the requirements of the ESA
(see 33 CFR 330.4(f)(1)). If pre-construction notification is required for the proposed activity, the Federal
permittee must provide the district engineer with the appropriate documentation to demonstrate
compliance with those requirements. The district engineer will verify that the appropriate documentation
has been submitted. If the appropriate documentation has not been submitted, additional ESA section 7
consultation may be necessary for the activity and the respective federal agency would be responsible for
fulfilling its obligation under section 7 of the ESA.
(c) Non-federal permittees must submit a pre-construction notification to the district engineer if any listed
species (or species proposed for listing) or designated critical habitat (or critical habitat proposed such
designation) might be affected or is in the vicinity of the activity, or if the activity is located in designated
critical habitat or critical habitat proposed for such designation, and shall not begin work on the activity
until notified by the district engineer that the requirements of the ESA have been satisfied and that the
activity is authorized. For activities that might affect Federally-listed endangered or threatened species (or
species proposed for listing) or designated critical habitat (or critical habitat proposed for such
designation), the pre-construction notification must include the name(s) of the endangered or threatened
species (or species proposed for listing) that might be affected by the proposed activity or that utilize the
designated critical habitat (or critical habitat proposed for such designation) that might be affected by the
proposed activity. The district engineer will determine whether the proposed activity “may affect” or will
have “no effect” to listed species and designated critical habitat and will notify the non-Federal applicant
of the Corps’ determination within 45 days of receipt of a complete pre-construction notification. For
activities where the non-Federal applicant has identified listed species (or species proposed for listing) or
designated critical habitat (or critical habitat proposed for such designation) that might be affected or is in
the vicinity of the activity, and has so notified the Corps, the applicant shall not begin work until the Corps
has provided notification that the proposed activity will have “no effect” on listed species (or species
proposed for listing or designated critical habitat (or critical habitat proposed for such designation), or until
ESA section 7 consultation or conference has been completed. If the non-Federal applicant has not heard
back from the Corps within 45 days, the applicant must still wait for notification from the Corps.
5
(d) As a result of formal or informal consultation or conference with the FWS or NMFS the district
engineer may add species-specific permit conditions to the NWPs.
(e) Authorization of an activity by an NWP does not authorize the “take” of a threatened or endangered
species as defined under the ESA. In the absence of separate authorization (e.g., an ESA Section 10
Permit, a Biological Opinion with “incidental take” provisions, etc.) from the FWS or the NMFS, the
Endangered Species Act prohibits any person subject to the jurisdiction of the United States to take a
listed species, where "take" means to harass, harm, pursue, hunt, shoot, wound, kill, trap, capture, or
collect, or to attempt to engage in any such conduct. The word “harm” in the definition of “take'' means an
act which actually kills or injures wildlife. Such an act may include significant habitat modification or
degradation where it actually kills or injures wildlife by significantly impairing essential behavioral patterns,
including breeding, feeding or sheltering.
(f) If the non-federal permittee has a valid ESA section 10(a)(1)(B) incidental take permit with an
approved Habitat Conservation Plan for a project or a group of projects that includes the proposed NWP
activity, the non-federal applicant should provide a copy of that ESA section 10(a)(1)(B) permit with the
PCN required by paragraph (c) of this general condition. The district engineer will coordinate with the
agency that issued the ESA section 10(a)(1)(B) permit to determine whether the proposed NWP activity
and the associated incidental take were considered in the internal ESA section 7 consultation conducted
for the ESA section 10(a)(1)(B) permit. If that coordination results in concurrence from the agency that
the proposed NWP activity and the associated incidental take were considered in the internal ESA section
7 consultation for the ESA section 10(a)(1)(B) permit, the district engineer does not need to conduct a
separate ESA section 7 consultation for the proposed NWP activity. The district engineer will notify the
non-federal applicant within 45 days of receipt of a complete pre-construction notification whether the
ESA section 10(a)(1)(B) permit covers the proposed NWP activity or whether additional ESA section 7
consultation is required.
(g) Information on the location of threatened and endangered species and their critical habitat can be
obtained directly from the offices of the FWS and NMFS or their world wide web pages at
http://www.fws.gov/ or http://www.fws.gov/ipac and http://www.nmfs.noaa.gov/pr/species/esa/
respectively.
19. Migratory Birds and Bald and Golden Eagles. The permittee is responsible for ensuring that an action
authorized by an NWP complies with the Migratory Bird Treaty Act and the Bald and Golden Eagle
Protection Act. The permittee is responsible for contacting the appropriate local office of the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service to determine what measures, if any, are necessary or appropriate to reduce adverse
effects to migratory birds or eagles, including whether "incidental take" permits are necessary and
available under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act or Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act for a particular
activity.
20. Historic Properties. (a) No activity is authorized under any NWP which may have the potential to
cause effects to properties listed, or eligible for listing, in the National Register of Historic Places until the
requirements of Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) have been satisfied.
(b) Federal permittees should follow their own procedures for complying with the requirements of section
106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (see 33 CFR 330.4(g)(1)). If pre-construction notification is
required for the proposed NWP activity, the Federal permittee must provide the district engineer with the
appropriate documentation to demonstrate compliance with those requirements. The district engineer will
verify that the appropriate documentation has been submitted. If the appropriate documentation is not
submitted, then additional consultation under section 106 may be necessary. The respective federal
agency is responsible for fulfilling its obligation to comply with section 106.
(c) Non-federal permittees must submit a pre-construction notification to the district engineer if the NWP
activity might have the potential to cause effects to any historic properties listed on, determined to be
eligible for listing on, or potentially eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places, including
previously unidentified properties. For such activities, the pre-construction notification must state which
historic properties might have the potential to be affected by the proposed NWP activity or include a
6
vicinity map indicating the location of the historic properties or the potential for the presence of historic
properties. Assistance regarding information on the location of, or potential for, the presence of historic
properties can be sought from the State Historic Preservation Officer, Tribal Historic Preservation Officer,
or designated tribal representative, as appropriate, and the National Register of Historic Places (see 33
CFR 330.4(g)). When reviewing pre-construction notifications, district engineers will comply with the
current procedures for addressing the requirements of section 106 of the National Historic Preservation
Act. The district engineer shall make a reasonable and good faith effort to carry out appropriate
identification efforts commensurate with potential impacts, which may include background research,
consultation, oral history interviews, sample field investigation, and/or field survey. Based on the
information submitted in the PCN and these identification efforts, the district engineer shall determine
whether the proposed NWP activity has the potential to cause effects on the historic properties. Section
106 consultation is not required when the district engineer determines that the activity does not have the
potential to cause effects on historic properties (see 36 CFR 800.3(a)). Section 106 consultation is
required when the district engineer determines that the activity has the potential to cause effects on
historic properties. The district engineer will conduct consultation with consulting parties identified under
36 CFR 800.2(c) when he or she makes any of the following effect determinations for the purposes of
section 106 of the NHPA: no historic properties affected, no adverse effect, or adverse effect.
(d) Where the non-Federal applicant has identified historic properties on which the proposed NWP
activity might have the potential to cause effects and has so notified the Corps, the non-Federal applicant
shall not begin the activity until notified by the district engineer either that the activity has no potential to
cause effects to historic properties or that NHPA section 106 consultation has been completed. For non-
federal permittees, the district engineer will notify the prospective permittee within 45 days of receipt of a
complete pre-construction notification whether NHPA section 106 consultation is required. If NHPA
section 106 consultation is required, the district engineer will notify the non-Federal applicant that he or
she cannot begin the activity until section 106 consultation is completed. If the non-Federal applicant has
not heard back from the Corps within 45 days, the applicant must still wait for notification from the Corps.
(e) Prospective permittees should be aware that section 110k of the NHPA (54 U.S.C. 306113) prevents
the Corps from granting a permit or other assistance to an applicant who, with intent to avoid the
requirements of section 106 of the NHPA, has intentionally significantly adversely affected a historic
property to which the permit would relate, or having legal power to prevent it, allowed such significant
adverse effect to occur, unless the Corps, after consultation with the Advisory Council on Historic
Preservation (ACHP), determines that circumstances justify granting such assistance despite the adverse
effect created or permitted by the applicant. If circumstances justify granting the assistance, the Corps is
required to notify the ACHP and provide documentation specifying the circumstances, the degree of
damage to the integrity of any historic properties affected, and proposed mitigation. This documentation
must include any views obtained from the applicant, SHPO/THPO, appropriate Indian tribes if the
undertaking occurs on or affects historic properties on tribal lands or affects properties of interest to those
tribes, and other parties known to have a legitimate interest in the impacts to the permitted activity on
historic properties.
21. Discovery of Previously Unknown Remains and Artifacts. Permittees that discover any previously
unknown historic, cultural or archeological remains and artifacts while accomplishing the activity
authorized by an NWP, they must immediately notify the district engineer of what they have found, and to
the maximum extent practicable, avoid construction activities that may affect the remains and artifacts
until the required coordination has been completed. The district engineer will initiate the Federal, Tribal,
and state coordination required to determine if the items or remains warrant a recovery effort or if the site
is eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places.
22. Designated Critical Resource Waters. Critical resource waters include, NOAA-managed marine
sanctuaries and marine monuments, and National Estuarine Research Reserves. The district engineer
may designate, after notice and opportunity for public comment, additional waters officially designated by
a state as having particular environmental or ecological significance, such as outstanding national
resource waters or state natural heritage sites. The district engineer may also designate additional critical
resource waters after notice and opportunity for public comment.
7
(a) Discharges of dredged or fill material into waters of the United States are not authorized by NWPs 7,
12, 14, 16, 17, 21, 29, 31, 35, 39, 40, 42, 43, 44, 49, 50, 51, 52, 57 and 58 for any activity within, or
directly affecting, critical resource waters, including wetlands adjacent to such waters.
(b) For NWPs 3, 8, 10, 13, 15, 18, 19, 22, 23, 25, 27, 28, 30, 33, 34, 36, 37, 38, and 54, notification is
required in accordance with general condition 32, for any activity proposed by permittees in the
designated critical resource waters including wetlands adjacent to those waters. The district engineer may
authorize activities under these NWPs only after she or he determines that the impacts to the critical
resource waters will be no more than minimal.
23. Mitigation. The district engineer will consider the following factors when determining appropriate and
practicable mitigation necessary to ensure that the individual and cumulative adverse environmental
effects are no more than minimal:
(a) The activity must be designed and constructed to avoid and minimize adverse effects, both temporary
and permanent, to waters of the United States to the maximum extent practicable at the project site (i.e.,
on site).
(b) Mitigation in all its forms (avoiding, minimizing, rectifying, reducing, or compensating for resource
losses) will be required to the extent necessary to ensure that the individual and cumulative adverse
environmental effects are no more than minimal.
(c) Compensatory mitigation at a minimum one-for-one ratio will be required for all wetland losses that
exceed 1/10-acre and require pre-construction notification, unless the district engineer determines in
writing that either some other form of mitigation would be more environmentally appropriate or the
adverse environmental effects of the proposed activity are no more than minimal, and provides an
activity-specific waiver of this requirement. For wetland losses of 1/10-acre or less that require pre-
construction notification, the district engineer may determine on a case-by-case basis that compensatory
mitigation is required to ensure that the activity results in only minimal adverse environmental effects.
(d) Compensatory mitigation at a minimum one-for-one ratio will be required for all losses of stream bed
that exceed 3/100-acre and require pre-construction notification, unless the district engineer determines
in writing that either some other form of mitigation would be more environmentally appropriate or the
adverse environmental effects of the proposed activity are no more than minimal, and provides an
activity-specific waiver of this requirement. This compensatory mitigation requirement may be satisfied
through the restoration or enhancement of riparian areas next to streams in accordance with paragraph
(e) of this general condition. For losses of stream bed of 3/100-acre or less that require pre-construction
notification, the district engineer may determine on a case-by-case basis that compensatory mitigation is
required to ensure that the activity results in only minimal adverse environmental effects. Compensatory
mitigation for losses of streams should be provided, if practicable, through stream rehabilitation,
enhancement, or preservation, since streams are difficult-to-replace resources (see 33 CFR 332.3(e)(3)).
(e) Compensatory mitigation plans for NWP activities in or near streams or other open waters will
normally include a requirement for the restoration or enhancement, maintenance, and legal protection
(e.g., conservation easements) of riparian areas next to open waters. In some cases, the restoration or
maintenance/protection of riparian areas may be the only compensatory mitigation required. If restoring
riparian areas involves planting vegetation, only native species should be planted. The width of the
required riparian area will address documented water quality or aquatic habitat loss concerns. Normally,
the riparian area will be 25 to 50 feet wide on each side of the stream, but the district engineer may
require slightly wider riparian areas to address documented water quality or habitat loss concerns. If it is
not possible to restore or maintain/protect a riparian area on both sides of a stream, or if the waterbody is
a lake or coastal waters, then restoring or maintaining/protecting a riparian area along a single bank or
shoreline may be sufficient. Where both wetlands and open waters exist on the project site, the district
engineer will determine the appropriate compensatory mitigation (e.g., riparian areas and/or wetlands
compensation) based on what is best for the aquatic environment on a watershed basis. In cases where
riparian areas are determined to be the most appropriate form of minimization or compensatory
8
mitigation, the district engineer may waive or reduce the requirement to provide wetland compensatory
mitigation for wetland losses.
(f) Compensatory mitigation projects provided to offset losses of aquatic resources must comply with the
applicable provisions of 33 CFR part 332.
(1) The prospective permittee is responsible for proposing an appropriate compensatory mitigation option
if compensatory mitigation is necessary to ensure that the activity results in no more than minimal
adverse environmental effects. For the NWPs, the preferred mechanism for providing compensatory
mitigation is mitigation bank credits or in-lieu fee program credits (see 33 CFR 332.3(b)(2) and (3)).
However, if an appropriate number and type of mitigation bank or in-lieu credits are not available at the
time the PCN is submitted to the district engineer, the district engineer may approve the use of permittee-
responsible mitigation.
(2) The amount of compensatory mitigation required by the district engineer must be sufficient to ensure
that the authorized activity results in no more than minimal individual and cumulative adverse
environmental effects (see 33 CFR 330.1(e)(3)). (See also 33 CFR 332.3(f).)
(3) Since the likelihood of success is greater and the impacts to potentially valuable uplands are reduced,
aquatic resource restoration should be the first compensatory mitigation option considered for permittee-
responsible mitigation.
(4) If permittee-responsible mitigation is the proposed option, the prospective permittee is responsible for
submitting a mitigation plan. A conceptual or detailed mitigation plan may be used by the district engineer
to make the decision on the NWP verification request, but a final mitigation plan that addresses the
applicable requirements of 33 CFR 332.4(c)(2) through (14) must be approved by the district engineer
before the permittee begins work in waters of the United States, unless the district engineer determines
that prior approval of the final mitigation plan is not practicable or not necessary to ensure timely
completion of the required compensatory mitigation (see 33 CFR 332.3(k)(3)). If permittee-responsible
mitigation is the proposed option, and the proposed compensatory mitigation site is located on land in
which another federal agency holds an easement, the district engineer will coordinate with that federal
agency to determine if proposed compensatory mitigation project is compatible with the terms of the
easement.
(5) If mitigation bank or in-lieu fee program credits are the proposed option, the mitigation plan needs to
address only the baseline conditions at the impact site and the number of credits to be provided (see 33
CFR 332.4(c)(1)(ii)).
(6) Compensatory mitigation requirements (e.g., resource type and amount to be provided as
compensatory mitigation, site protection, ecological performance standards, monitoring requirements)
may be addressed through conditions added to the NWP authorization, instead of components of a
compensatory mitigation plan (see 33 CFR 332.4(c)(1)(ii)).
(g) Compensatory mitigation will not be used to increase the acreage losses allowed by the acreage limits
of the NWPs. For example, if an NWP has an acreage limit of 1/2-acre, it cannot be used to authorize any
NWP activity resulting in the loss of greater than 1/2-acre of waters of the United States, even if
compensatory mitigation is provided that replaces or restores some of the lost waters. However,
compensatory mitigation can and should be used, as necessary, to ensure that an NWP activity already
meeting the established acreage limits also satisfies the no more than minimal impact requirement for the
NWPs.
(h) Permittees may propose the use of mitigation banks, in-lieu fee programs, or permittee-responsible
mitigation. When developing a compensatory mitigation proposal, the permittee must consider
appropriate and practicable options consistent with the framework at 33 CFR 332.3(b). For activities
resulting in the loss of marine or estuarine resources, permittee-responsible mitigation may be
environmentally preferable if there are no mitigation banks or in-lieu fee programs in the area that have
marine or estuarine credits available for sale or transfer to the permittee. For permittee-responsible
9
mitigation, the special conditions of the NWP verification must clearly indicate the party or parties
responsible for the implementation and performance of the compensatory mitigation project, and, if
required, its long-term management.
(i) Where certain functions and services of waters of the United States are permanently adversely
affected by a regulated activity, such as discharges of dredged or fill material into waters of the United
States that will convert a forested or scrub-shrub wetland to a herbaceous wetland in a permanently
maintained utility line right-of-way, mitigation may be required to reduce the adverse environmental
effects of the activity to the no more than minimal level.
24. Safety of Impoundment Structures. To ensure that all impoundment structures are safely designed,
the district engineer may require non-Federal applicants to demonstrate that the structures comply with
established state or federal, dam safety criteria or have been designed by qualified persons. The district
engineer may also require documentation that the design has been independently reviewed by similarly
qualified persons, and appropriate modifications made to ensure safety.
25. Water Quality. (a) Where the certifying authority (state, authorized tribe, or EPA, as appropriate) has
not previously certified compliance of an NWP with CWA section 401, a CWA section 401 water quality
certification for the proposed discharge must be obtained or waived (see 33 CFR 330.4(c)). If the
permittee cannot comply with all of the conditions of a water quality certification previously issued by
certifying authority for the issuance of the NWP, then the permittee must obtain a water quality
certification or waiver for the proposed discharge in order for the activity to be authorized by an NWP.
(b) If the NWP activity requires pre-construction notification and the certifying authority has not previously
certified compliance of an NWP with CWA section 401, the proposed discharge is not authorized by an
NWP until water quality certification is obtained or waived. If the certifying authority issues a water quality
certification for the proposed discharge, the permittee must submit a copy of the certification to the district
engineer. The discharge is not authorized by an NWP until the district engineer has notified the permittee
that the water quality certification requirement has been satisfied by the issuance of a water quality
certification or a waiver.
(c) The district engineer or certifying authority may require additional water quality management
measures to ensure that the authorized activity does not result in more than minimal degradation of water
quality.
26. Coastal Zone Management. In coastal states where an NWP has not previously received a state
coastal zone management consistency concurrence, an individual state coastal zone management
consistency concurrence must be obtained, or a presumption of concurrence must occur (see 33 CFR
330.4(d)). If the permittee cannot comply with all of the conditions of a coastal zone management
consistency concurrence previously issued by the state, then the permittee must obtain an individual
coastal zone management consistency concurrence or presumption of concurrence in order for the
activity to be authorized by an NWP. The district engineer or a state may require additional measures to
ensure that the authorized activity is consistent with state coastal zone management requirements.
27. Regional and Case-By-Case Conditions. The activity must comply with any regional conditions that
may have been added by the Division Engineer (see 33 CFR 330.4(e)) and with any case specific
conditions added by the Corps or by the state, Indian Tribe, or U.S. EPA in its CWA section 401 Water
Quality Certification, or by the state in its Coastal Zone Management Act consistency determination.
28. Use of Multiple Nationwide Permits. The use of more than one NWP for a single and complete project
is authorized, subject to the following restrictions:
(a) If only one of the NWPs used to authorize the single and complete project has a specified acreage
limit, the acreage loss of waters of the United States cannot exceed the acreage limit of the NWP with the
highest specified acreage limit. For example, if a road crossing over tidal waters is constructed under
NWP 14, with associated bank stabilization authorized by NWP 13, the maximum acreage loss of waters
of the United States for the total project cannot exceed 1⁄3-acre.
10
(b) If one or more of the NWPs used to authorize the single and complete project has specified acreage
limits, the acreage loss of waters of the United States authorized by those NWPs cannot exceed their
respective specified acreage limits. For example, if a commercial development is constructed under NWP
39, and the single and complete project includes the filling of an upland ditch authorized by NWP 46, the
maximum acreage loss of waters of the United States for the commercial development under NWP 39
cannot exceed 1/2-acre, and the total acreage loss of waters of United States due to the NWP 39 and 46
activities cannot exceed 1 acre.
29. Transfer of Nationwide Permit Verifications. If the permittee sells the property associated with a
nationwide permit verification, the permittee may transfer the nationwide permit verification to the new
owner by submitting a letter to the appropriate Corps district office to validate the transfer. A copy of the
nationwide permit verification must be attached to the letter, and the letter must contain the following
statement and signature:
“When the structures or work authorized by this nationwide permit are still in existence at the time the
property is transferred, the terms and conditions of this nationwide permit, including any special
conditions, will continue to be binding on the new owner(s) of the property. To validate the transfer of this
nationwide permit and the associated liabilities associated with compliance with its terms and conditions,
have the transferee sign and date below.”
_____________________________________________
(Transferee)
_____________________________________________
(Date)
30. Compliance Certification. Each permittee who receives an NWP verification letter from the Corps must
provide a signed certification documenting completion of the authorized activity and implementation of
any required compensatory mitigation. The success of any required permittee-responsible mitigation,
including the achievement of ecological performance standards, will be addressed separately by the
district engineer. The Corps will provide the permittee the certification document with the NWP verification
letter. The certification document will include:
(a) A statement that the authorized activity was done in accordance with the NWP authorization, including
any general, regional, or activity-specific conditions;
(b) A statement that the implementation of any required compensatory mitigation was completed in
accordance with the permit conditions. If credits from a mitigation bank or in-lieu fee program are used to
satisfy the compensatory mitigation requirements, the certification must include the documentation
required by 33 CFR 332.3(l)(3) to confirm that the permittee secured the appropriate number and
resource type of credits; and
(c) The signature of the permittee certifying the completion of the activity and mitigation.
The completed certification document must be submitted to the district engineer within 30 days of
completion of the authorized activity or the implementation of any required compensatory mitigation,
whichever occurs later.
31. Activities Affecting Structures or Works Built by the United States. If an NWP activity also requires
review by, or permission from, the Corps pursuant to 33 U.S.C. 408 because it will alter or temporarily or
permanently occupy or use a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) federally authorized Civil Works
project (a “USACE project”), the prospective permittee must submit a pre-construction notification. See
paragraph (b)(10) of general condition 32. An activity that requires section 408 permission and/or review
is not authorized by an NWP until the appropriate Corps office issues the section 408 permission or
11
completes its review to alter, occupy, or use the USACE project, and the district engineer issues a written
NWP verification.
32. Pre-Construction Notification. (a) Timing. Where required by the terms of the NWP, the prospective
permittee must notify the district engineer by submitting a pre-construction notification (PCN) as early as
possible. The district engineer must determine if the PCN is complete within 30 calendar days of the date
of receipt and, if the PCN is determined to be incomplete, notify the prospective permittee within that 30
day period to request the additional information necessary to make the PCN complete. The request must
specify the information needed to make the PCN complete. As a general rule, district engineers will
request additional information necessary to make the PCN complete only once. However, if the
prospective permittee does not provide all of the requested information, then the district engineer will
notify the prospective permittee that the PCN is still incomplete and the PCN review process will not
commence until all of the requested information has been received by the district engineer. The
prospective permittee shall not begin the activity until either:
(1) He or she is notified in writing by the district engineer that the activity may proceed under the NWP
with any special conditions imposed by the district or division engineer; or
(2) 45 calendar days have passed from the district engineer’s receipt of the complete PCN and the
prospective permittee has not received written notice from the district or division engineer. However, if the
permittee was required to notify the Corps pursuant to general condition 18 that listed species or critical
habitat might be affected or are in the vicinity of the activity, or to notify the Corps pursuant to general
condition 20 that the activity might have the potential to cause effects to historic properties, the permittee
cannot begin the activity until receiving written notification from the Corps that there is “no effect” on listed
species or “no potential to cause effects” on historic properties, or that any consultation required under
Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act (see 33 CFR 330.4(f)) and/or section 106 of the National
Historic Preservation Act (see 33 CFR 330.4(g)) has been completed. If the proposed activity requires a
written waiver to exceed specified limits of an NWP, the permittee may not begin the activity until the
district engineer issues the waiver. If the district or division engineer notifies the permittee in writing that
an individual permit is required within 45 calendar days of receipt of a complete PCN, the permittee
cannot begin the activity until an individual permit has been obtained. Subsequently, the permittee’s right
to proceed under the NWP may be modified, suspended, or revoked only in accordance with the
procedure set forth in 33 CFR 330.5(d)(2).
(b) Contents of Pre-Construction Notification: The PCN must be in writing and include the following
information:
(1) Name, address and telephone numbers of the prospective permittee;
(2) Location of the proposed activity;
(3) Identify the specific NWP or NWP(s) the prospective permittee wants to use to authorize the proposed
activity;
(4) (i) A description of the proposed activity; the activity’s purpose; direct and indirect adverse
environmental effects the activity would cause, including the anticipated amount of loss of wetlands, other
special aquatic sites, and other waters expected to result from the NWP activity, in acres, linear feet, or
other appropriate unit of measure; a description of any proposed mitigation measures intended to reduce
the adverse environmental effects caused by the proposed activity; and any other NWP(s), regional
general permit(s), or individual permit(s) used or intended to be used to authorize any part of the
proposed project or any related activity, including other separate and distant crossings for linear projects
that require Department of the Army authorization but do not require pre-construction notification. The
description of the proposed activity and any proposed mitigation measures should be sufficiently detailed
to allow the district engineer to determine that the adverse environmental effects of the activity will be no
more than minimal and to determine the need for compensatory mitigation or other mitigation measures.
12
(ii) For linear projects where one or more single and complete crossings require pre-construction
notification, the PCN must include the quantity of anticipated losses of wetlands, other special aquatic
sites, and other waters for each single and complete crossing of those wetlands, other special aquatic
sites, and other waters (including those single and complete crossings authorized by an NWP but do not
require PCNs). This information will be used by the district engineer to evaluate the cumulative adverse
environmental effects of the proposed linear project, and does not change those non-PCN NWP activities
into NWP PCNs.
(iii) Sketches should be provided when necessary to show that the activity complies with the terms of the
NWP. (Sketches usually clarify the activity and when provided results in a quicker decision. Sketches
should contain sufficient detail to provide an illustrative description of the proposed activity (e.g., a
conceptual plan), but do not need to be detailed engineering plans);
(5) The PCN must include a delineation of wetlands, other special aquatic sites, and other waters, such
as lakes and ponds, and perennial and intermittent streams, on the project site. Wetland delineations
must be prepared in accordance with the current method required by the Corps. The permittee may ask
the Corps to delineate the special aquatic sites and other waters on the project site, but there may be a
delay if the Corps does the delineation, especially if the project site is large or contains many wetlands,
other special aquatic sites, and other waters. Furthermore, the 45-day period will not start until the
delineation has been submitted to or completed by the Corps, as appropriate;
(6) If the proposed activity will result in the loss of greater than 1/10-acre of wetlands or 3/100-acre of
stream bed and a PCN is required, the prospective permittee must submit a statement describing how the
mitigation requirement will be satisfied, or explaining why the adverse environmental effects are no more
than minimal and why compensatory mitigation should not be required. As an alternative, the prospective
permittee may submit a conceptual or detailed mitigation plan.
(7) For non-federal permittees, if any listed species (or species proposed for listing) or designated critical
habitat (or critical habitat proposed for such designation) might be affected or is in the vicinity of the
activity, or if the activity is located in designated critical habitat (or critical habitat proposed for such
designation), the PCN must include the name(s) of those endangered or threatened species (or species
proposed for listing) that might be affected by the proposed activity or utilize the designated critical habitat
(or critical habitat proposed for such designation) that might be affected by the proposed activity. For
NWP activities that require pre-construction notification, Federal permittees must provide documentation
demonstrating compliance with the Endangered Species Act;
(8) For non-federal permittees, if the NWP activity might have the potential to cause effects to a historic
property listed on, determined to be eligible for listing on, or potentially eligible for listing on, the National
Register of Historic Places, the PCN must state which historic property might have the potential to be
affected by the proposed activity or include a vicinity map indicating the location of the historic property.
For NWP activities that require pre-construction notification, Federal permittees must provide
documentation demonstrating compliance with section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act;
(9) For an activity that will occur in a component of the National Wild and Scenic River System, or in a
river officially designated by Congress as a “study river” for possible inclusion in the system while the river
is in an official study status, the PCN must identify the Wild and Scenic River or the “study river” (see
general condition 16); and
(10) For an NWP activity that requires permission from, or review by, the Corps pursuant to 33 U.S.C. 408
because it will alter or temporarily or permanently occupy or use a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
federally authorized civil works project, the pre-construction notification must include a statement
confirming that the project proponent has submitted a written request for section 408 permission from, or
review by, the Corps office having jurisdiction over that USACE project.
(c) Form of Pre-Construction Notification: The nationwide permit pre-construction notification form (Form
ENG 6082) should be used for NWP PCNs. A letter containing the required information may also be
13
used. Applicants may provide electronic files of PCNs and supporting materials if the district engineer
has established tools and procedures for electronic submittals.
(d) Agency Coordination: (1) The district engineer will consider any comments from Federal and state
agencies concerning the proposed activity’s compliance with the terms and conditions of the NWPs and
the need for mitigation to reduce the activity’s adverse environmental effects so that they are no more
than minimal.
(2) Agency coordination is required for: (i) all NWP activities that require pre-construction notification and
result in the loss of greater than 1/2-acre of waters of the United States; (ii) NWP 13 activities in excess of
500 linear feet, fills greater than one cubic yard per running foot, or involve discharges of dredged or fill
material into special aquatic sites; and (iii) NWP 54 activities in excess of 500 linear feet, or that extend
into the waterbody more than 30 feet from the mean low water line in tidal waters or the ordinary high
water mark in the Great Lakes.
(3) When agency coordination is required, the district engineer will immediately provide (e.g., via e-mail,
facsimile transmission, overnight mail, or other expeditious manner) a copy of the complete PCN to the
appropriate Federal or state offices (FWS, state natural resource or water quality agency, EPA, and, if
appropriate, the NMFS). With the exception of NWP 37, these agencies will have 10 calendar days from
the date the material is transmitted to notify the district engineer via telephone, facsimile transmission, or
e-mail that they intend to provide substantive, site-specific comments. The comments must explain why
the agency believes the adverse environmental effects will be more than minimal. If so contacted by an
agency, the district engineer will wait an additional 15 calendar days before making a decision on the pre-
construction notification. The district engineer will fully consider agency comments received within the
specified time frame concerning the proposed activity’s compliance with the terms and conditions of the
NWPs, including the need for mitigation to ensure that the net adverse environmental effects of the
proposed activity are no more than minimal. The district engineer will provide no response to the resource
agency, except as provided below. The district engineer will indicate in the administrative record
associated with each pre-construction notification that the resource agencies’ concerns were considered.
For NWP 37, the emergency watershed protection and rehabilitation activity may proceed immediately in
cases where there is an unacceptable hazard to life or a significant loss of property or economic hardship
will occur. The district engineer will consider any comments received to decide whether the NWP 37
authorization should be modified, suspended, or revoked in accordance with the procedures at 33 CFR
330.5.
(4) In cases of where the prospective permittee is not a Federal agency, the district engineer will provide
a response to NMFS within 30 calendar days of receipt of any Essential Fish Habitat conservation
recommendations, as required by section 305(b)(4)(B) of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation
and Management Act.
(5) Applicants are encouraged to provide the Corps with either electronic files or multiple copies of pre-
construction notifications to expedite agency coordination.
C. SEATTLE DISTRICT REGIONAL GENERAL CONDITIONS: The following conditions apply to the
2021 NWPs - Final 41 NWPs for the Seattle District in Washington State, as applicable.
RGC 1, Project Drawings
Drawings must be submitted with a pre-construction notification (PCN). Drawings must provide a clear
understanding of the proposed project, and how waters of the United States will be affected. Drawings
must be originals and not reduced copies of large-scale plans. Engineering drawings are not required.
Existing and proposed site conditions (manmade and landscape features) must be drawn to scale.
RGC 2, Aquatic Resources Requiring Special Protection
A PCN is required for activities resulting in a loss of waters of the United States in wetlands in dunal
systems along the Washington coast, mature forested wetlands, bogs and peatlands, aspen-dominated
wetlands, alkali wetlands, vernal pools, camas prairie wetlands, estuarine wetlands, and wetlands in
coastal lagoons.
14
RGC 3, New Bank Stabilization in Tidal Waters of Puget Sound
Activities involving new bank stabilization in tidal waters in Water Resource Inventory Areas (WRIAs) 8, 9,
10, 11, and 12 (within the areas identified on Figures 1a through 1e) cannot be authorized by NWP.
RGC 4, Commencement Bay
No permanent losses of wetlands or mudflats within the Commencement Bay Study Area may be
authorized by any NWP (see Figure 2).
RGC 5, Bank Stabilization
All projects including new or maintenance bank stabilization activities in waters of the United States
where salmonid species are present or could be present, requires PCN to the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers (Corps) (see NWP general condition 32).
For new bank stabilization projects only, the following must be submitted to the Corps:
a. The cause of the erosion and the distance of any existing structures from the area(s) being
stabilized.
b. The type and length of existing bank stabilization within 300 feet of the proposed project.
c. A description of current conditions and expected post-project conditions in the waterbody.
d. A statement describing how the project incorporates elements avoiding and minimizing adverse
environmental effects to the aquatic environment and nearshore riparian area, including vegetation
impacts in the waterbody.
In addition to a. through d., the results from any relevant geotechnical investigations can be submitted
with the PCN if it describes current or expected conditions in the waterbody.
RGC 6, Crossings of Waters of the United States
Any project including installing, replacing, or modifying crossings of waters of the United States, such as
culverts or bridges, requires submittal of a PCN to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (see NWP general
condition 32).
If a culvert is proposed to cross waters of the U.S. where salmonid species are present or could be
present, the project must apply the stream simulation design method from the Washington Department of
Fish and Wildlife located in the Water Crossing Design Guidelines (2013), or a design method which
provides passage at all life stages at all flows where the salmonid species would naturally seek passage.
If the stream simulation design method is not applied for a culvert where salmonid species are present or
could be present, the applicant must provide a rationale in the PCN sufficient to establish one of the
following:
a. The existence of extraordinary site conditions.
b. How the proposed design will provide equivalent or better fish passage and fisheries habitat benefits
than the stream simulation design method.
Culverts installed under emergency authorization that do not meet the above design criteria will be
required to meet the above design criteria to receive an after-the-fact nationwide permit verification.
RGC 7, Stream Loss
A PCN is required for all activities that result in the loss of any linear feet of streams.
RGC 8, Construction Boundaries
15
Permittees must clearly mark all construction area boundaries within waters of the United States before
beginning work on projects that involve grading or placement of fill. Boundary markers and/or construction
fencing must be maintained and clearly visible for the duration of construction. Permittees should avoid
and minimize removal of native vegetation (including submerged aquatic vegetation) to the maximum
extent possible.
RGC 9, ESA Reporting to NMFS
For any nationwide permit that may affect threatened or endangered species:
Incidents where any individuals of fish species, marine mammals and/or sea turtles listed by National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Fisheries, National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) under the
Endangered Species Act appear to be injured or killed as a result of discharges of dredged or fill material
into waters of the U.S. or structures or work in navigable waters of the U.S. authorized by this Nationwide
Permit verification shall be reported to NMFS, Office of Protected Resources at (301) 713-1401 and the
Regulatory Office of the Seattle District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers at (206) 764-3495. The
finder should leave the animal alone, make note of any circumstances likely causing the death or injury,
note the location and number of individuals involved and, if possible, take photographs. Adult animals
should not be disturbed unless circumstances arise where they are obviously injured or killed by
discharge exposure or some unnatural cause. The finder may be asked to carry out instructions provided
by the NMFS to collect specimens or take other measures to ensure that evidence intrinsic to the
specimen is preserved.
RGC 10, Limitations on New Bank Stabilization Within the Salish Sea
The length of new bank stabilization within waters of the U.S., including new bank stabilization associated
with maintenance activities that would expand previously authorized armoring length, cannot exceed 50
linear feet within the Salish Sea under any NWP.
RGC 11, Effects to Forage Fish Spawning Beaches, Drift Cells, and Feeder Bluffs)
No NWP activity can:
a. cause more than minimal adverse effects to forage fish spawning beaches or drift cells; or
b. prevent the functioning of feeder bluffs, including more than minimal adverse effects to sediment
recruitment, transport, or deposition.
This regional general condition applies to all NWP activities within the Salish Sea. Information regarding
the location of forage fish spawning beaches is available on the Washington Department of Fish and
Wildlife’s (WDFW) Forage Fish Spawning Map at
https://wdfw.maps.arcgis.com/home/webmap/viewer.html?webmap=19b8f74e2d41470cbd80b1
af8dedd6b3. Information regarding the location and movement of drift cells, shoreline stability, and
coastal landforms, to include feeder bluffs, is available at the Washington State Department of Ecology’s
Coastal Atlas Map website: https://apps.ecology.wa.gov/coastalatlasmap. These maps are resources that
can be used to help identify the location of forage fish spawning beaches, drift cells, and feeder bluffs;
they are not a substitute for site-specific data. Information about forage fish, their spawning habitats, and
spawning behavior are available through the WDFW. Additional information about the importance of
these species as prey species for Endangered Species Act listed salmonids can be found on the National
Marine Fisheries Service website.
RGC 12, Bank Stabilization Design Considerations
Bank stabilization activities, including maintenance activities, shall utilize living shorelines, vegetative
stabilization, bioengineering, including but not limited to large woody material with intact root wads, and
other soft bank stabilization approaches to the maximum practicable extent before considering hard bank
stabilization methods such as bulkheads and rock revetments.
RGC 13, PCNs for Activities in Areas Where There May Be Treaty-Reserved Tribal Rights
16
To ensure compliance with General Condition 17, Tribal Rights, a pre-construction notification (PCN) is
required for all NWPs associated with structures or fills in areas where Tribes have retained via treaty the
right to fish in their usual and accustomed grounds and stations.
RGC 14, Maintenance of Existing Bank Stabilization Structures and Fills
(Applicable to NWP 3, Maintenance Activities) Maintenance of existing bank stabilization structures that
expand the existing structure’s footprint or dimensions either waterward, vertically, or linearly along the
shoreline within the geographic jurisdiction of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers are not eligible for NWP 3.
D. SEATTLE DISTRICT REGIONAL SPECIFIC CONDITIONS FOR THIS NWP: None
E. 401 WATER QUALITY CERTIFICATION: Depending on the geographic region of the work authorized
by this verification, the appropriate 401 certifying authority has made the following determinations:
Washington Department of Ecology (Ecology) (Projects in all areas except as described for the
other certifying agencies listed below): General and Specific WQC Conditions
A. State General Conditions for all Nationwide Permits
In addition to all of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ (Corps) national and Seattle District’s regional
permit conditions, the following state general Water Quality Certification (WQC) conditions apply to all
NWPs whether granted or granted with conditions in Washington where Ecology is the certifying
authority.
Due to the lack of site specific information on the discharge types, quantities, and specific locations, as
well as the condition of receiving waters and the quantity of waters (including wetlands) that may be lost,
Ecology may need to review the project if one of the following state general conditions is triggered.
This case-by-case review may be required, and additional information regarding the project and
associated discharges may be needed, to verify that the proposed project would comply with state water
quality requirements and if an individual WQC is required or if the project meets this programmatic
WQC.
1. In-water construction activities. Ecology WQC review is required for projects or activities
authorized under NWPs where the project proponent has indicated on the Joint Aquatic Resource
Permit Application (JARPA) question 9e that the project or activity will not meet State water
quality standards, or has provided information indicating that the project or activity will cause, or
may be likely to cause or contribute to an exceedance of a State water quality standard (Chapter
173-201A WAC) or sediment management standard (Chapter 173-204 WAC).
Note: In-water activities include any activity within a jurisdictional wetland and/or waters.
2. Projects or Activities Discharging to Impaired Waters. Ecology WQC review is required for
projects or activities that will occur in a 303(d) listed segment of a waterbody or upstream of a listed
segment and may result in further exceedances of the specific listed parameter to determine if the
project meets this programmatic WQC or will require individual WQC.
To determine if your project or activity is in a 303(d) listed segment of a waterbody, visit Ecology’s Water
Quality Assessment webpage for maps and search tools.
3. Aquatic resources requiring special protection. Certain aquatic resources are unique and
difficult-to-replace components of the aquatic environment in Washington. Activities that would
affect these resources must be avoided to the greatest extent practicable. Compensating for
adverse impacts to high value aquatic resources is typically difficult, prohibitively expensive, and
may not be possible in some landscape settings.
17
Ecology WQC review is required for projects or activities in areas identified below to determine if the
project meets this programmatic WQC or will require individual WQC.
a. Activities in or affecting the following aquatic resources:
i. Wetlands with special characteristics (as defined in the Washington State
Wetland Rating Systems for western and eastern Washington, Ecology
Publications #14-06-029 and #14-06-030):
• Estuarine wetlands.
• Wetlands of High Conservation Value.
• Bogs.
• Old-growth forested wetlands and mature forested wetlands.
• Wetlands in coastal lagoons.
• Wetlands in dunal systems along the Washington coast.
• Vernal pools.
• Alkali wetlands.
ii. Fens, aspen-dominated wetlands, camas prairie wetlands.
iii. Category I wetlands.
iv. Category II wetlands with a habitat score ≥ 8 points.
b. Activities in or resulting in a loss of eelgrass (Zostera marina) beds.
This state general condition does not apply to the following NWPs:
NWP 20 – Response Operations for Oil and Hazardous Substances
NWP 32 – Completed Enforcement Actions
NWP 48 – Commercial Shellfish Mariculture Activities
4. Loss of More than 300 Linear Feet of Streambed. For any project that results in the loss of more
than 300 linear feet of streambed Ecology WQC review is required to determine if the project meets
this programmatic WQC or will require individual WQC.
5. Temporary Fills. For any project or activity with temporary fill in wetlands or other waters for
more than six months Ecology WQC review is required to determine if the project meets this
programmatic WQC or will require individual WQC.
6. Mitigation. Project proponents are required to show that they have followed the mitigation
sequence and have first avoided and minimized impacts to aquatic resources wherever practicable.
For projects requiring Ecology WQC review or an individual WQC with unavoidable impacts to
aquatics resources, a mitigation plan must be provided.
a. Wetland mitigation plans submitted for Ecology review and approval shall be based
on the most current guidance provided in Wetland Mitigation in Washington State,
Parts 1 and 2 (available on Ecology’s website) and shall, at a minimum, include the
following:
i. A description of the measures taken to avoid and minimize impacts to
wetlands and other waters of the U.S.
ii. The nature of the proposed impacts (i.e., acreage of wetlands and
functions lost or degraded).
18
iii. The rationale for the mitigation site that was selected.
iv. The goals and objectives of the compensatory mitigation project.
v. How the mitigation project will be accomplished, including construction
sequencing, best management practices to protect water quality,
proposed performance standards for measuring success and the
proposed buffer widths.
vi. How it will be maintained and monitored to assess progress toward goals
and objectives. Monitoring will generally be required for a minimum of five
years. For forested and scrub-shrub wetlands, 10 years of monitoring will
often be necessary.
vii. How the compensatory mitigation site will be legally protected for the long
term.
Refer to Wetland Mitigation in Washington State – Part 2: Developing Mitigation Plans (Ecology
Publication #06-06-011b) and Selecting Wetland Mitigation Sites Using a Watershed Approach
(Ecology Publications #09-06- 032 (Western Washington) and #10-06-007 (Eastern Washington)) for
guidance on selecting suitable mitigation sites and developing mitigation plans.
Ecology encourages the use of alternative mitigation approaches, including credit/debit methodology,
advance mitigation, and other programmatic approaches such as mitigation banks and in-lieu fee
programs. If you are interested in proposing use of an alternative mitigation approach, consult with the
appropriate Ecology regional staff person. Information on alternative mitigation approaches is available
on Ecology’s website.
b. Mitigation for other aquatic resource impacts will be determined on a case-by- case
basis.
7. Stormwater Pollution Prevention. All projects involving land disturbance or impervious surfaces
must implement stormwater pollution prevention or control measures to avoid discharge of pollutants
in stormwater runoff to waters.
a. For land disturbances during construction, the applicant must obtain and
implement permits (e.g., Construction Stormwater General Permit) where
required and follow Ecology’s current stormwater manual.
b. Following construction, prevention or treatment of on-going stormwater runoff from
impervious surfaces shall be provided.
Ecology’s Stormwater Management and Design Manuals and stormwater permit information are available
on Ecology’s website.
8. Application. For projects or activities that will require Ecology WQC review, or an individual
WQC, project proponents must provide Ecology with a JARPA or the equivalent information,
along with the documentation provided to the Corps, as described in national general
condition 32, Pre-Construction Notification (PCN), including, where applicable:
a. A description of the project, including site plans, project purpose, direct and indirect
adverse environmental effects the project discharge(s) would cause, best management
practices (BMPs), and proposed means to monitor the discharge(s).
b. List of all federal, state or local agency authorizations required to be used for any part
19
of the proposed project or any related activity.
c. Drawings indicating the OHWM, delineation of special aquatic sites, and other waters of
the state. Wetland delineations must be prepared in accordance with the current method
required by the Corps and shall include Ecology’s Wetland Rating form. Wetland Rating
forms are subject to review and verification by Ecology staff.
Guidance for determining the OHWM is available on Ecology’s website.
d. A statement describing how the mitigation requirement will be satisfied. A conceptual
or detailed mitigation or restoration plan may be submitted. See state general condition
5.
e. Other applicable requirements of Corps NWP general condition 32, Corps regional
conditions, or notification conditions of the applicable NWP.
Ecology grants with conditions Water Quality Certification (WQC) for this NWP provided that
Ecology individual WQC review is not required per the state general conditions (see above) ) and the
following conditions:
1. The project or activity involves the complete replacement of a shoreline stabilization using
hard armoring.
2. The project or activity increases the original footprint of the structure by more than 1/10th
acre in wetlands; or
3. The project or activity includes adding a new structure, such as a weir, flap gate/tide gate,
or culvert to the site.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) (on Tribal Lands where Tribes Do Not Have Treatment in
a Similar Manner as a State and Lands with Exclusive Federal Jurisdiction in Washington):
On behalf of the 28 tribes that do not have treatment in a similar manner as a state and for exclusive
federal jurisdiction lands located within the state of Washington, EPA Region 10 has determined that
CWA Section 401 WQC for the following proposed NWPs is granted with conditions. EPA Region 10
has determined that any discharge authorized under the following proposed NWPs will comply with
water quality requirements, as defined at 40 C.F.R. § 121.1(n), subject to the following conditions
pursuant to CWA Section 401(d).
General Conditions:
EPA General Condition 1 – Aquatic Resources of Special Concern
Activities resulting in a point source discharge in the following types of aquatic resources of special
concern shall request an individual project-specific CWA Section 401 WQC: mature forested wetlands;
bogs, fens and other peatlands; vernal pools; aspen-dominated wetlands; alkali wetlands; camas
prairie wetlands; wetlands in dunal systems along the Oregon or Washington Coast; riffle-pool
complexes of streams; marine or estuarine mud-flats; salt marshes; marine waters with native eelgrass
or kelp beds; or marine nearshore forage fish habitat. To identify whether a project would occur in any
of these aquatic resources of special concern, project proponents shall use existing and available
information to identify the location and type of resources, including using the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service’s online digital National Wetland Inventory maps, identifying project location on topographical
maps, and/or providing on-site determinations as required by the Corps. When a project requires a Pre-
Construction Notification (PCN) to the Corps, project proponents shall work with the Corps to identify
whether the project is in any of these specific aquatic resources of special concern.
20
EPA General Condition 2 – Soil Erosion and Sediment Controls
Turbidity shall not exceed background turbidity by more than 50 Nephelometric Turbidity Units (NTU)
above background instantaneously or more than 25 NTU above background for more than ten
consecutive days.8 Projects or activities that are expected to exceed these levels require an individual
project-specific CWA Section 401 WQC.
The turbidity standard shall be met at the following distances from the discharge:
Wetted Stream Width at Discharge
Point
Approximate Downstream Point to
Sample to Determine Compliance
Up to 30 feet 50 feet
>30 to 100 feet 100 feet
>100 feet to 200 feet 200 feet
>200 feet 300 feet
Lake, Pond, Reservoir
Lesser of 100 feet or maximum surface
distance
For Marine Water Point of Compliance for Temporary Area of
Mixing
Estuaries or Marine Waters
Radius of 150 feet from the activity causing
the turbidity exceedance
Measures to prevent and/or reduce turbidity shall be implemented and monitored prior to, during, and
after construction. Turbidity monitoring shall be done at the point of compliance within 24 hours of a
precipitation event of 0.25 inches or greater. During monitoring and maintenance, if turbidity limits are
exceeded or if measures are identified as ineffective, then additional measures shall be taken to come
into compliance and EPA shall be notified within 48 hours of the exceedance or measure failure.
EPA General Condition 3 - Compliance with Stormwater Pollution Prevention and the National Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System Permit Provisions
For land disturbances during construction that 1) disturb one or more acres of land, or 2) will disturb
less than one acre of land but are part of a common plan of development or sale that will ultimately
disturb one or more acres of land, the permittee shall obtain and implement Construction Stormwater
General Permit requirements,9 including:
1. The permittee shall develop a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP)10 and submit
it to EPA Region 10 and appropriate Corps District; and
2. Following construction, prevention or treatment of ongoing stormwater
runoff from impervious surfaces that includes soil infiltration shall be
implemented.
EPA General Condition 4 – Projects or Activities Discharging to Impaired Waters
Projects or activities are not authorized under the NWPs if the project will involve point source
discharges into an active channel (e.g., flowing or open waters) of a water of the U.S. listed as
impaired under CWA Section 303(d) and/or if the waterbody has an approved Total Maximum Daily
Load (TMDL) and the discharge may result in further exceedance of a specific parameter (e.g., total
suspended solids, dissolved oxygen, temperature) for which the waterbody is listed or has an
approved TMDL. The current lists of impaired waters of the U.S. under CWA Section 303(d) and
waters of the U.S. for which a TMDL has been approved are available on EPA Region 10’s web site at:
https://www.epa.gov/tmdl/impaired-waters-and-tmdls-region-10.
21
EPA General Condition 5 – Notice to EPA
All project proponents shall provide notice to EPA Region 10 prior to commencing construction
activities authorized by a NWP. This will provide EPA Region 10 with the opportunity to inspect the
activity for the purposes of determining whether any discharge from the proposed project will violate
this CWA Section 401 WQC. Where the Corps requires a PCN for an applicable NWP, the project
proponent shall also provide the PCN to EPA Region 10. EPA Region 10 will provide written
notification to the project proponent if the proposed project will violate the water quality certification of
the NWP.
EPA General Condition 6 – Unsuitable Materials
The project proponent shall not use wood products treated with leachable chemical components (e.g.,
copper, arsenic, zinc, creosote, chromium, chloride, fluoride, pentachlorophenol), which result in a
discharge to waters of the U.S., unless the wood products meet the following criteria:
1. Wood preservatives and their application shall be in compliance with EPA label
requirements and criteria of approved EPA Registration Documents under the Federal
Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act;
2. Use of chemically treated wood products shall follow the Western Wood Preservatives
Institute (WWPI) guidelines and BMPs to minimize the preservative migrating from
treated wood into the aquatic environment;
3. For new or replacement wood structures, the wood shall be sealed with non-toxic
products such as water-based silica or soy-based water repellants or sealers to prevent
or limit leaching. Acceptable alternatives to chemically treated wood include untreated
wood, steel (painted, unpainted or coated with epoxy petroleum compound or plastic),
concrete and plastic lumber; and
4. All removal of chemically treated wood products (including pilings) shall follow the most
recent “EPA Region 10 Best Management Practices for Piling Removal and Placement
in Washington State.”
NWP Specific Conditions:
NWP 3 is conditionally certified, subject to the general conditions listed above, for all maintenance,
repair or replacement activities authorized under this NWP, except that an individual project-specific
WQC is required when the project involves:
1. Maintenance, repair, or replacement of shoreline stabilization using hard armoring
approaches; or
2. Extending existing infrastructure beyond its prior footprint in fish bearing waters of the U.S.; or
3. Excavation or dredging in marine waters.
Specific Tribes with Certifying Authority (Projects in Specific Tribal Areas):
WQC was issued by the Swinomish Indian Tribal Community. WQC was waived by the Confederated
Tribes of the Chehalis Reservation and Colville Indian Reservation, Kalispel Tribe of Indians, Port
Gamble S'Klallam Tribe, Quinault Indian Nation, and the Spokane Tribe of Indians. WQC was denied by
the Lummi Nation, Makah Tribe, Puyallup Tribe of Indians, and the Tulalip Tribes; therefore, individual
WQC is required from these tribes.
F. COASTAL ZONE MANAGEMENT ACT (CZMA) CONSISTENCY RESPONSE FOR THIS NWP:
Ecology’s determination is that they concur with conditions that this NWP is consistent with CZMA.
1. A CZM Federal Consistency Decision is required for projects or activities under this NWP if a
State 401 Water Quality Certification is required.

F. Coastal Zone Management Consistency Response for this NWP
In addition to any special condition that may be required on a case-by-case basis by the District Engineer,
the following terms and conditions must be met, as applicable, for a Nationwide Permit (NWP) authorization
to be valid in Washington State.
A. DESCRIPTION OF AUTHORIZED ACTIVITIES
27. Aquatic Habitat Restoration, Enhancement, and Establishment Activities. Activities in waters of the
United States associated with the restoration, enhancement, and establishment of tidal and non-tidal
wetlands and riparian areas, the restoration and enhancement of non-tidal streams and other non-tidal
open waters, and the rehabilitation or enhancement of tidal streams, tidal wetlands, and tidal open
waters, provided those activities result in net increases in aquatic resource functions and services.
To be authorized by this NWP, the aquatic habitat restoration, enhancement, or establishment activity
must be planned, designed, and implemented so that it results in aquatic habitat that resembles an
ecological reference. An ecological reference may be based on the characteristics of one or more intact
aquatic habitats or riparian areas of the same type that exist in the region. An ecological reference may
be based on a conceptual model developed from regional ecological knowledge of the target aquatic
habitat type or riparian area.
To the extent that a Corps permit is required, activities authorized by this NWP include, but are not limited
to the removal of accumulated sediments; releases of sediment from reservoirs to maintain sediment
transport continuity to restore downstream habitats; the installation, removal, and maintenance of small
water control structures, dikes, and berms, as well as discharges of dredged or fill material to restore
appropriate stream channel configurations after small water control structures, dikes, and berms are
removed; the installation of current deflectors; the enhancement, rehabilitation, or re-establishment of
riffle and pool stream structure; the placement of in-stream habitat structures; modifications of the stream
bed and/or banks to enhance, rehabilitate, or re-establish stream meanders; the removal of stream
barriers, such as undersized culverts, fords, and grade control structures; the backfilling of artificial
channels; the removal of existing drainage structures, such as drain tiles, and the filling, blocking, or
reshaping of drainage ditches to restore wetland hydrology; the installation of structures or fills necessary
to restore or enhance wetland or stream hydrology; the construction of small nesting islands; the
construction of open water areas; the construction of oyster habitat over unvegetated bottom in tidal
waters; coral restoration or relocation activities; shellfish seeding; activities needed to reestablish
vegetation, including plowing or discing for seed bed preparation and the planting of appropriate wetland
species; re-establishment of submerged aquatic vegetation in areas where those plant communities
previously existed; re-establishment of tidal wetlands in tidal waters where those wetlands previously
existed; mechanized land clearing to remove non-native invasive, exotic, or nuisance vegetation; and
other related activities. Only native plant species should be planted at the site.
This NWP authorizes the relocation of non-tidal waters, including non-tidal wetlands and streams, on the
project site provided there are net increases in aquatic resource functions and services.
2
Except for the relocation of non-tidal waters on the project site, this NWP does not authorize the
conversion of a stream or natural wetlands to another aquatic habitat type (e.g., the conversion of a
stream to wetland or vice versa) or uplands. Changes in wetland plant communities that occur when
wetland hydrology is more fully restored during wetland rehabilitation activities are not considered a
conversion to another aquatic habitat type. This NWP does not authorize stream channelization. This
NWP does not authorize the relocation of tidal waters or the conversion of tidal waters, including tidal
wetlands, to other aquatic uses, such as the conversion of tidal wetlands into open water impoundments.
Compensatory mitigation is not required for activities authorized by this NWP since these activities must
result in net increases in aquatic resource functions and services.
Reversion. For enhancement, restoration, and establishment activities conducted: (1) In accordance with
the terms and conditions of a binding stream or wetland enhancement or restoration agreement, or a
wetland establishment agreement, between the landowner and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS),
the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), the Farm Service Agency (FSA), the National
Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), the National Ocean Service (NOS), U.S. Forest Service (USFS), or
their designated state cooperating agencies; (2) as voluntary wetland restoration, enhancement, and
establishment actions documented by the NRCS or USDA Technical Service Provider pursuant to NRCS
Field Office Technical Guide standards; or (3) on reclaimed surface coal mine lands, in accordance with a
Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act permit issued by the Office of Surface Mining Reclamation
and Enforcement (OSMRE) or the applicable state agency, this NWP also authorizes any future
discharge of dredged or fill material associated with the reversion of the area to its documented prior
condition and use (i.e., prior to the restoration, enhancement, or establishment activities). The reversion
must occur within five years after expiration of a limited term wetland restoration or establishment
agreement or permit, and is authorized in these circumstances even if the discharge of dredged or fill
material occurs after this NWP expires. The five-year reversion limit does not apply to agreements without
time limits reached between the landowner and the FWS, NRCS, FSA, NMFS, NOS, USFS, or an
appropriate state cooperating agency. This NWP also authorizes discharges of dredged or fill material in
waters of the United States for the reversion of wetlands that were restored, enhanced, or established on
prior-converted cropland or on uplands, in accordance with a binding agreement between the landowner
and NRCS, FSA, FWS, or their designated state cooperating agencies (even though the restoration,
enhancement, or establishment activity did not require a section 404 permit). The prior condition will be
documented in the original agreement or permit, and the determination of return to prior conditions will be
made by the Federal agency or appropriate state agency executing the agreement or permit. Before
conducting any reversion activity, the permittee or the appropriate Federal or state agency must notify the
district engineer and include the documentation of the prior condition. Once an area has reverted to its
prior physical condition, it will be subject to whatever the Corps Regulatory requirements are applicable to
that type of land at the time. The requirement that the activity results in a net increase in aquatic resource
functions and services does not apply to reversion activities meeting the above conditions. Except for the
activities described above, this NWP does not authorize any future discharge of dredged or fill material
associated with the reversion of the area to its prior condition. In such cases a separate permit would be
required for any reversion.
Reporting. For those activities that do not require pre-construction notification, the permittee must submit
to the district engineer a copy of: (1) the binding stream enhancement or restoration agreement or
wetland enhancement, restoration, or establishment agreement, or a project description, including project
plans and location map; (2) the NRCS or USDA Technical Service Provider documentation for the
voluntary stream enhancement or restoration action or wetland restoration, enhancement, or
establishment action; or (3) the SMCRA permit issued by OSMRE or the applicable state agency. The
report must also include information on baseline ecological conditions on the project site, such as a
delineation of wetlands, streams, and/or other aquatic habitats. These documents must be submitted to
the district engineer at least 30 days prior to commencing activities in waters of the United States
authorized by this NWP.
Notification: The permittee must submit a pre-construction notification to the district engineer prior to
commencing any activity (see general condition 32), except for the following activities:
3
(1) Activities conducted on non-Federal public lands and private lands, in accordance with the terms and
conditions of a binding stream enhancement or restoration agreement or wetland enhancement,
restoration, or establishment agreement between the landowner and the FWS, NRCS, FSA, NMFS, NOS,
USFS or their designated state cooperating agencies;
(2) Activities conducted in accordance with the terms and conditions of a binding coral restoration or
relocation agreement between the project proponent and the NMFS or any of its designated state
cooperating agencies;
(3) Voluntary stream or wetland restoration or enhancement action, or wetland establishment action,
documented by the NRCS or USDA Technical Service Provider pursuant to NRCS Field Office Technical
Guide standards; or
(4) The reclamation of surface coal mine lands, in accordance with an SMCRA permit issued by the
OSMRE or the applicable state agency.
However, the permittee must submit a copy of the appropriate documentation to the district engineer to
fulfill the reporting requirement. (Authorities: Sections 10 and 404)
Note: This NWP can be used to authorize compensatory mitigation projects, including mitigation banks
and in-lieu fee projects. However, this NWP does not authorize the reversion of an area used for a
compensatory mitigation project to its prior condition, since compensatory mitigation is generally intended
to be permanent.
B. CORPS NATIONAL GENERAL CONDITIONS FOR ALL 2021 NWPs - FINAL 41
Note: To qualify for NWP authorization, the prospective permittee must comply with the following general
conditions, as applicable, in addition to any regional or case-specific conditions imposed by the division
engineer or district engineer. Prospective permittees should contact the appropriate Corps district office to
determine if regional conditions have been imposed on an NWP. Prospective permittees should also
contact the appropriate Corps district office to determine the status of Clean Water Act Section 401 water
quality certification and/or Coastal Zone Management Act consistency for an NWP. Every person who
may wish to obtain permit authorization under one or more NWPs, or who is currently relying on an
existing or prior permit authorization under one or more NWPs, has been and is on notice that all of the
provisions of 33 CFR 330.1 through 330.6 apply to every NWP authorization. Note especially 33 CFR
330.5 relating to the modification, suspension, or revocation of any NWP authorization.
1. Navigation. (a) No activity may cause more than a minimal adverse effect on navigation.
(b) Any safety lights and signals prescribed by the U.S. Coast Guard, through regulations or otherwise,
must be installed and maintained at the permittee's expense on authorized facilities in navigable waters of
the United States.
(c) The permittee understands and agrees that, if future operations by the United States require the
removal, relocation, or other alteration, of the structure or work herein authorized, or if, in the opinion of
the Secretary of the Army or his or her authorized representative, said structure or work shall cause
unreasonable obstruction to the free navigation of the navigable waters, the permittee will be required,
upon due notice from the Corps of Engineers, to remove, relocate, or alter the structural work or
obstructions caused thereby, without expense to the United States. No claim shall be made against the
United States on account of any such removal or alteration.
2. Aquatic Life Movements. No activity may substantially disrupt the necessary life cycle movements of
those species of aquatic life indigenous to the waterbody, including those species that normally migrate
through the area, unless the activity's primary purpose is to impound water. All permanent and temporary
crossings of waterbodies shall be suitably culverted, bridged, or otherwise designed and constructed to
maintain low flows to sustain the movement of those aquatic species. If a bottomless culvert cannot be
4
used, then the crossing should be designed and constructed to minimize adverse effects to aquatic life
movements.
3. Spawning Areas. Activities in spawning areas during spawning seasons must be avoided to the
maximum extent practicable. Activities that result in the physical destruction (e.g., through excavation, fill,
or downstream smothering by substantial turbidity) of an important spawning area are not authorized.
4. Migratory Bird Breeding Areas. Activities in waters of the United States that serve as breeding areas for
migratory birds must be avoided to the maximum extent practicable.
5. Shellfish Beds. No activity may occur in areas of concentrated shellfish populations, unless the activity
is directly related to a shellfish harvesting activity authorized by NWPs 4 and 48, or is a shellfish seeding
or habitat restoration activity authorized by NWP 27.
6. Suitable Material. No activity may use unsuitable material (e.g., trash, debris, car bodies, asphalt, etc.).
Material used for construction or discharged must be free from toxic pollutants in toxic amounts (see
section 307 of the Clean Water Act).
7. Water Supply Intakes. No activity may occur in the proximity of a public water supply intake, except
where the activity is for the repair or improvement of public water supply intake structures or adjacent
bank stabilization.
8. Adverse Effects From Impoundments. If the activity creates an impoundment of water, adverse effects
to the aquatic system due to accelerating the passage of water, and/or restricting its flow must be
minimized to the maximum extent practicable.
9. Management of Water Flows. To the maximum extent practicable, the pre-construction course,
condition, capacity, and location of open waters must be maintained for each activity, including stream
channelization, storm water management activities, and temporary and permanent road crossings, except
as provided below. The activity must be constructed to withstand expected high flows. The activity must
not restrict or impede the passage of normal or high flows, unless the primary purpose of the activity is to
impound water or manage high flows. The activity may alter the pre-construction course, condition,
capacity, and location of open waters if it benefits the aquatic environment (e.g., stream restoration or
relocation activities).
10. Fills Within 100-Year Floodplains. The activity must comply with applicable FEMA-approved state or
local floodplain management requirements.
11. Equipment. Heavy equipment working in wetlands or mudflats must be placed on mats, or other
measures must be taken to minimize soil disturbance.
12. Soil Erosion and Sediment Controls. Appropriate soil erosion and sediment controls must be used
and maintained in effective operating condition during construction, and all exposed soil and other fills, as
well as any work below the ordinary high water mark or high tide line, must be permanently stabilized at
the earliest practicable date. Permittees are encouraged to perform work within waters of the United
States during periods of low-flow or no-flow, or during low tides.
13. Removal of Temporary Structures and Fills. Temporary structures must be removed, to the maximum
extent practicable, after their use has been discontinued. Temporary fills must be removed in their entirety
and the affected areas returned to pre-construction elevations. The affected areas must be revegetated,
as appropriate.
14. Proper Maintenance. Any authorized structure or fill shall be properly maintained, including
maintenance to ensure public safety and compliance with applicable NWP general conditions, as well as
any activity-specific conditions added by the district engineer to an NWP authorization.
5
15. Single and Complete Project. The activity must be a single and complete project. The same NWP
cannot be used more than once for the same single and complete project.
16. Wild and Scenic Rivers. (a) No NWP activity may occur in a component of the National Wild and
Scenic River System, or in a river officially designated by Congress as a “study river” for possible
inclusion in the system while the river is in an official study status, unless the appropriate Federal agency
with direct management responsibility for such river, has determined in writing that the proposed activity
will not adversely affect the Wild and Scenic River designation or study status.
(b) If a proposed NWP activity will occur in a component of the National Wild and Scenic River System, or
in a river officially designated by Congress as a “study river” for possible inclusion in the system while the
river is in an official study status, the permittee must submit a pre-construction notification (see general
condition 32). The district engineer will coordinate the PCN with the Federal agency with direct
management responsibility for that river. Permittees shall not begin the NWP activity until notified by the
district engineer that the Federal agency with direct management responsibility for that river has
determined in writing that the proposed NWP activity will not adversely affect the Wild and Scenic River
designation or study status.
(c) Information on Wild and Scenic Rivers may be obtained from the appropriate Federal land
management agency responsible for the designated Wild and Scenic River or study river (e.g., National
Park Service, U.S. Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service).
Information on these rivers is also available at: http://www.rivers.gov/.
17. Tribal Rights. No activity or its operation may impair reserved tribal rights, including, but not limited to,
reserved water rights and treaty fishing and hunting rights.
18. Endangered Species. (a) No activity is authorized under any NWP which is likely to directly or
indirectly jeopardize the continued existence of a threatened or endangered species or a species
proposed for such designation, as identified under the Federal Endangered Species Act (ESA), or which
will directly or indirectly destroy or adversely modify designated critical habitat or critical habitat proposed
for such designation. No activity is authorized under any NWP which “may affect” a listed species or
critical habitat, unless ESA section 7 consultation addressing the consequences of the proposed activity
on listed species or critical habitat has been completed. See 50 CFR 402.02 for the definition of “effects
of the action” for the purposes of ESA section 7 consultation, as well as 50 CFR 402.17, which provides
further explanation under ESA section 7 regarding “activities that are reasonably certain to occur” and
“consequences caused by the proposed action.”
(b) Federal agencies should follow their own procedures for complying with the requirements of the ESA
(see 33 CFR 330.4(f)(1)). If pre-construction notification is required for the proposed activity, the Federal
permittee must provide the district engineer with the appropriate documentation to demonstrate
compliance with those requirements. The district engineer will verify that the appropriate documentation
has been submitted. If the appropriate documentation has not been submitted, additional ESA section 7
consultation may be necessary for the activity and the respective federal agency would be responsible for
fulfilling its obligation under section 7 of the ESA.
(c) Non-federal permittees must submit a pre-construction notification to the district engineer if any listed
species (or species proposed for listing) or designated critical habitat (or critical habitat proposed such
designation) might be affected or is in the vicinity of the activity, or if the activity is located in designated
critical habitat or critical habitat proposed for such designation, and shall not begin work on the activity
until notified by the district engineer that the requirements of the ESA have been satisfied and that the
activity is authorized. For activities that might affect Federally-listed endangered or threatened species (or
species proposed for listing) or designated critical habitat (or critical habitat proposed for such
designation), the pre-construction notification must include the name(s) of the endangered or threatened
species (or species proposed for listing) that might be affected by the proposed activity or that utilize the
designated critical habitat (or critical habitat proposed for such designation) that might be affected by the
proposed activity. The district engineer will determine whether the proposed activity “may affect” or will
have “no effect” to listed species and designated critical habitat and will notify the non-Federal applicant
6
of the Corps’ determination within 45 days of receipt of a complete pre-construction notification. For
activities where the non-Federal applicant has identified listed species (or species proposed for listing) or
designated critical habitat (or critical habitat proposed for such designation) that might be affected or is in
the vicinity of the activity, and has so notified the Corps, the applicant shall not begin work until the Corps
has provided notification that the proposed activity will have “no effect” on listed species (or species
proposed for listing or designated critical habitat (or critical habitat proposed for such designation), or until
ESA section 7 consultation or conference has been completed. If the non-Federal applicant has not heard
back from the Corps within 45 days, the applicant must still wait for notification from the Corps.
(d) As a result of formal or informal consultation or conference with the FWS or NMFS the district
engineer may add species-specific permit conditions to the NWPs.
(e) Authorization of an activity by an NWP does not authorize the “take” of a threatened or endangered
species as defined under the ESA. In the absence of separate authorization (e.g., an ESA Section 10
Permit, a Biological Opinion with “incidental take” provisions, etc.) from the FWS or the NMFS, the
Endangered Species Act prohibits any person subject to the jurisdiction of the United States to take a
listed species, where "take" means to harass, harm, pursue, hunt, shoot, wound, kill, trap, capture, or
collect, or to attempt to engage in any such conduct. The word “harm” in the definition of “take'' means an
act which actually kills or injures wildlife. Such an act may include significant habitat modification or
degradation where it actually kills or injures wildlife by significantly impairing essential behavioral patterns,
including breeding, feeding or sheltering.
(f) If the non-federal permittee has a valid ESA section 10(a)(1)(B) incidental take permit with an
approved Habitat Conservation Plan for a project or a group of projects that includes the proposed NWP
activity, the non-federal applicant should provide a copy of that ESA section 10(a)(1)(B) permit with the
PCN required by paragraph (c) of this general condition. The district engineer will coordinate with the
agency that issued the ESA section 10(a)(1)(B) permit to determine whether the proposed NWP activity
and the associated incidental take were considered in the internal ESA section 7 consultation conducted
for the ESA section 10(a)(1)(B) permit. If that coordination results in concurrence from the agency that
the proposed NWP activity and the associated incidental take were considered in the internal ESA section
7 consultation for the ESA section 10(a)(1)(B) permit, the district engineer does not need to conduct a
separate ESA section 7 consultation for the proposed NWP activity. The district engineer will notify the
non-federal applicant within 45 days of receipt of a complete pre-construction notification whether the
ESA section 10(a)(1)(B) permit covers the proposed NWP activity or whether additional ESA section 7
consultation is required.
(g) Information on the location of threatened and endangered species and their critical habitat can be
obtained directly from the offices of the FWS and NMFS or their world wide web pages at
http://www.fws.gov/ or http://www.fws.gov/ipac and http://www.nmfs.noaa.gov/pr/species/esa/
respectively.
19. Migratory Birds and Bald and Golden Eagles. The permittee is responsible for ensuring that an action
authorized by an NWP complies with the Migratory Bird Treaty Act and the Bald and Golden Eagle
Protection Act. The permittee is responsible for contacting the appropriate local office of the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service to determine what measures, if any, are necessary or appropriate to reduce adverse
effects to migratory birds or eagles, including whether "incidental take" permits are necessary and
available under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act or Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act for a particular
activity.
20. Historic Properties. (a) No activity is authorized under any NWP which may have the potential to
cause effects to properties listed, or eligible for listing, in the National Register of Historic Places until the
requirements of Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) have been satisfied.
(b) Federal permittees should follow their own procedures for complying with the requirements of section
106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (see 33 CFR 330.4(g)(1)). If pre-construction notification is
required for the proposed NWP activity, the Federal permittee must provide the district engineer with the
appropriate documentation to demonstrate compliance with those requirements. The district engineer will
7
verify that the appropriate documentation has been submitted. If the appropriate documentation is not
submitted, then additional consultation under section 106 may be necessary. The respective federal
agency is responsible for fulfilling its obligation to comply with section 106.
(c) Non-federal permittees must submit a pre-construction notification to the district engineer if the NWP
activity might have the potential to cause effects to any historic properties listed on, determined to be
eligible for listing on, or potentially eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places, including
previously unidentified properties. For such activities, the pre-construction notification must state which
historic properties might have the potential to be affected by the proposed NWP activity or include a
vicinity map indicating the location of the historic properties or the potential for the presence of historic
properties. Assistance regarding information on the location of, or potential for, the presence of historic
properties can be sought from the State Historic Preservation Officer, Tribal Historic Preservation Officer,
or designated tribal representative, as appropriate, and the National Register of Historic Places (see 33
CFR 330.4(g)). When reviewing pre-construction notifications, district engineers will comply with the
current procedures for addressing the requirements of section 106 of the National Historic Preservation
Act. The district engineer shall make a reasonable and good faith effort to carry out appropriate
identification efforts commensurate with potential impacts, which may include background research,
consultation, oral history interviews, sample field investigation, and/or field survey. Based on the
information submitted in the PCN and these identification efforts, the district engineer shall determine
whether the proposed NWP activity has the potential to cause effects on the historic properties. Section
106 consultation is not required when the district engineer determines that the activity does not have the
potential to cause effects on historic properties (see 36 CFR 800.3(a)). Section 106 consultation is
required when the district engineer determines that the activity has the potential to cause effects on
historic properties. The district engineer will conduct consultation with consulting parties identified under
36 CFR 800.2(c) when he or she makes any of the following effect determinations for the purposes of
section 106 of the NHPA: no historic properties affected, no adverse effect, or adverse effect.
(d) Where the non-Federal applicant has identified historic properties on which the proposed NWP
activity might have the potential to cause effects and has so notified the Corps, the non-Federal applicant
shall not begin the activity until notified by the district engineer either that the activity has no potential to
cause effects to historic properties or that NHPA section 106 consultation has been completed. For non-
federal permittees, the district engineer will notify the prospective permittee within 45 days of receipt of a
complete pre-construction notification whether NHPA section 106 consultation is required. If NHPA
section 106 consultation is required, the district engineer will notify the non-Federal applicant that he or
she cannot begin the activity until section 106 consultation is completed. If the non-Federal applicant has
not heard back from the Corps within 45 days, the applicant must still wait for notification from the Corps.
(e) Prospective permittees should be aware that section 110k of the NHPA (54 U.S.C. 306113) prevents
the Corps from granting a permit or other assistance to an applicant who, with intent to avoid the
requirements of section 106 of the NHPA, has intentionally significantly adversely affected a historic
property to which the permit would relate, or having legal power to prevent it, allowed such significant
adverse effect to occur, unless the Corps, after consultation with the Advisory Council on Historic
Preservation (ACHP), determines that circumstances justify granting such assistance despite the adverse
effect created or permitted by the applicant. If circumstances justify granting the assistance, the Corps is
required to notify the ACHP and provide documentation specifying the circumstances, the degree of
damage to the integrity of any historic properties affected, and proposed mitigation. This documentation
must include any views obtained from the applicant, SHPO/THPO, appropriate Indian tribes if the
undertaking occurs on or affects historic properties on tribal lands or affects properties of interest to those
tribes, and other parties known to have a legitimate interest in the impacts to the permitted activity on
historic properties.
21. Discovery of Previously Unknown Remains and Artifacts. Permittees that discover any previously
unknown historic, cultural or archeological remains and artifacts while accomplishing the activity
authorized by an NWP, they must immediately notify the district engineer of what they have found, and to
the maximum extent practicable, avoid construction activities that may affect the remains and artifacts
until the required coordination has been completed. The district engineer will initiate the Federal, Tribal,
8
and state coordination required to determine if the items or remains warrant a recovery effort or if the site
is eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places.
22. Designated Critical Resource Waters. Critical resource waters include, NOAA-managed marine
sanctuaries and marine monuments, and National Estuarine Research Reserves. The district engineer
may designate, after notice and opportunity for public comment, additional waters officially designated by
a state as having particular environmental or ecological significance, such as outstanding national
resource waters or state natural heritage sites. The district engineer may also designate additional critical
resource waters after notice and opportunity for public comment.
(a) Discharges of dredged or fill material into waters of the United States are not authorized by NWPs 7,
12, 14, 16, 17, 21, 29, 31, 35, 39, 40, 42, 43, 44, 49, 50, 51, 52, 57 and 58 for any activity within, or
directly affecting, critical resource waters, including wetlands adjacent to such waters.
(b) For NWPs 3, 8, 10, 13, 15, 18, 19, 22, 23, 25, 27, 28, 30, 33, 34, 36, 37, 38, and 54, notification is
required in accordance with general condition 32, for any activity proposed by permittees in the
designated critical resource waters including wetlands adjacent to those waters. The district engineer may
authorize activities under these NWPs only after she or he determines that the impacts to the critical
resource waters will be no more than minimal.
23. Mitigation. The district engineer will consider the following factors when determining appropriate and
practicable mitigation necessary to ensure that the individual and cumulative adverse environmental
effects are no more than minimal:
(a) The activity must be designed and constructed to avoid and minimize adverse effects, both temporary
and permanent, to waters of the United States to the maximum extent practicable at the project site (i.e.,
on site).
(b) Mitigation in all its forms (avoiding, minimizing, rectifying, reducing, or compensating for resource
losses) will be required to the extent necessary to ensure that the individual and cumulative adverse
environmental effects are no more than minimal.
(c) Compensatory mitigation at a minimum one-for-one ratio will be required for all wetland losses that
exceed 1/10-acre and require pre-construction notification, unless the district engineer determines in
writing that either some other form of mitigation would be more environmentally appropriate or the
adverse environmental effects of the proposed activity are no more than minimal, and provides an
activity-specific waiver of this requirement. For wetland losses of 1/10-acre or less that require pre-
construction notification, the district engineer may determine on a case-by-case basis that compensatory
mitigation is required to ensure that the activity results in only minimal adverse environmental effects.
(d) Compensatory mitigation at a minimum one-for-one ratio will be required for all losses of stream bed
that exceed 3/100-acre and require pre-construction notification, unless the district engineer determines
in writing that either some other form of mitigation would be more environmentally appropriate or the
adverse environmental effects of the proposed activity are no more than minimal, and provides an
activity-specific waiver of this requirement. This compensatory mitigation requirement may be satisfied
through the restoration or enhancement of riparian areas next to streams in accordance with paragraph
(e) of this general condition. For losses of stream bed of 3/100-acre or less that require pre-construction
notification, the district engineer may determine on a case-by-case basis that compensatory mitigation is
required to ensure that the activity results in only minimal adverse environmental effects. Compensatory
mitigation for losses of streams should be provided, if practicable, through stream rehabilitation,
enhancement, or preservation, since streams are difficult-to-replace resources (see 33 CFR 332.3(e)(3)).
(e) Compensatory mitigation plans for NWP activities in or near streams or other open waters will
normally include a requirement for the restoration or enhancement, maintenance, and legal protection
(e.g., conservation easements) of riparian areas next to open waters. In some cases, the restoration or
maintenance/protection of riparian areas may be the only compensatory mitigation required. If restoring
riparian areas involves planting vegetation, only native species should be planted. The width of the
9
required riparian area will address documented water quality or aquatic habitat loss concerns. Normally,
the riparian area will be 25 to 50 feet wide on each side of the stream, but the district engineer may
require slightly wider riparian areas to address documented water quality or habitat loss concerns. If it is
not possible to restore or maintain/protect a riparian area on both sides of a stream, or if the waterbody is
a lake or coastal waters, then restoring or maintaining/protecting a riparian area along a single bank or
shoreline may be sufficient. Where both wetlands and open waters exist on the project site, the district
engineer will determine the appropriate compensatory mitigation (e.g., riparian areas and/or wetlands
compensation) based on what is best for the aquatic environment on a watershed basis. In cases where
riparian areas are determined to be the most appropriate form of minimization or compensatory
mitigation, the district engineer may waive or reduce the requirement to provide wetland compensatory
mitigation for wetland losses.
(f) Compensatory mitigation projects provided to offset losses of aquatic resources must comply with the
applicable provisions of 33 CFR part 332.
(1) The prospective permittee is responsible for proposing an appropriate compensatory mitigation option
if compensatory mitigation is necessary to ensure that the activity results in no more than minimal
adverse environmental effects. For the NWPs, the preferred mechanism for providing compensatory
mitigation is mitigation bank credits or in-lieu fee program credits (see 33 CFR 332.3(b)(2) and (3)).
However, if an appropriate number and type of mitigation bank or in-lieu credits are not available at the
time the PCN is submitted to the district engineer, the district engineer may approve the use of permittee-
responsible mitigation.
(2) The amount of compensatory mitigation required by the district engineer must be sufficient to ensure
that the authorized activity results in no more than minimal individual and cumulative adverse
environmental effects (see 33 CFR 330.1(e)(3)). (See also 33 CFR 332.3(f).)
(3) Since the likelihood of success is greater and the impacts to potentially valuable uplands are reduced,
aquatic resource restoration should be the first compensatory mitigation option considered for permittee-
responsible mitigation.
(4) If permittee-responsible mitigation is the proposed option, the prospective permittee is responsible for
submitting a mitigation plan. A conceptual or detailed mitigation plan may be used by the district engineer
to make the decision on the NWP verification request, but a final mitigation plan that addresses the
applicable requirements of 33 CFR 332.4(c)(2) through (14) must be approved by the district engineer
before the permittee begins work in waters of the United States, unless the district engineer determines
that prior approval of the final mitigation plan is not practicable or not necessary to ensure timely
completion of the required compensatory mitigation (see 33 CFR 332.3(k)(3)). If permittee-responsible
mitigation is the proposed option, and the proposed compensatory mitigation site is located on land in
which another federal agency holds an easement, the district engineer will coordinate with that federal
agency to determine if proposed compensatory mitigation project is compatible with the terms of the
easement.
(5) If mitigation bank or in-lieu fee program credits are the proposed option, the mitigation plan needs to
address only the baseline conditions at the impact site and the number of credits to be provided (see 33
CFR 332.4(c)(1)(ii)).
(6) Compensatory mitigation requirements (e.g., resource type and amount to be provided as
compensatory mitigation, site protection, ecological performance standards, monitoring requirements)
may be addressed through conditions added to the NWP authorization, instead of components of a
compensatory mitigation plan (see 33 CFR 332.4(c)(1)(ii)).
(g) Compensatory mitigation will not be used to increase the acreage losses allowed by the acreage limits
of the NWPs. For example, if an NWP has an acreage limit of 1/2-acre, it cannot be used to authorize any
NWP activity resulting in the loss of greater than 1/2-acre of waters of the United States, even if
compensatory mitigation is provided that replaces or restores some of the lost waters. However,
compensatory mitigation can and should be used, as necessary, to ensure that an NWP activity already
10
meeting the established acreage limits also satisfies the no more than minimal impact requirement for the
NWPs.
(h) Permittees may propose the use of mitigation banks, in-lieu fee programs, or permittee-responsible
mitigation. When developing a compensatory mitigation proposal, the permittee must consider
appropriate and practicable options consistent with the framework at 33 CFR 332.3(b). For activities
resulting in the loss of marine or estuarine resources, permittee-responsible mitigation may be
environmentally preferable if there are no mitigation banks or in-lieu fee programs in the area that have
marine or estuarine credits available for sale or transfer to the permittee. For permittee-responsible
mitigation, the special conditions of the NWP verification must clearly indicate the party or parties
responsible for the implementation and performance of the compensatory mitigation project, and, if
required, its long-term management.
(i) Where certain functions and services of waters of the United States are permanently adversely
affected by a regulated activity, such as discharges of dredged or fill material into waters of the United
States that will convert a forested or scrub-shrub wetland to a herbaceous wetland in a permanently
maintained utility line right-of-way, mitigation may be required to reduce the adverse environmental
effects of the activity to the no more than minimal level.
24. Safety of Impoundment Structures. To ensure that all impoundment structures are safely designed,
the district engineer may require non-Federal applicants to demonstrate that the structures comply with
established state or federal, dam safety criteria or have been designed by qualified persons. The district
engineer may also require documentation that the design has been independently reviewed by similarly
qualified persons, and appropriate modifications made to ensure safety.
25. Water Quality. (a) Where the certifying authority (state, authorized tribe, or EPA, as appropriate) has
not previously certified compliance of an NWP with CWA section 401, a CWA section 401 water quality
certification for the proposed discharge must be obtained or waived (see 33 CFR 330.4(c)). If the
permittee cannot comply with all of the conditions of a water quality certification previously issued by
certifying authority for the issuance of the NWP, then the permittee must obtain a water quality
certification or waiver for the proposed discharge in order for the activity to be authorized by an NWP.
(b) If the NWP activity requires pre-construction notification and the certifying authority has not previously
certified compliance of an NWP with CWA section 401, the proposed discharge is not authorized by an
NWP until water quality certification is obtained or waived. If the certifying authority issues a water quality
certification for the proposed discharge, the permittee must submit a copy of the certification to the district
engineer. The discharge is not authorized by an NWP until the district engineer has notified the permittee
that the water quality certification requirement has been satisfied by the issuance of a water quality
certification or a waiver.
(c) The district engineer or certifying authority may require additional water quality management
measures to ensure that the authorized activity does not result in more than minimal degradation of water
quality.
26. Coastal Zone Management. In coastal states where an NWP has not previously received a state
coastal zone management consistency concurrence, an individual state coastal zone management
consistency concurrence must be obtained, or a presumption of concurrence must occur (see 33 CFR
330.4(d)). If the permittee cannot comply with all of the conditions of a coastal zone management
consistency concurrence previously issued by the state, then the permittee must obtain an individual
coastal zone management consistency concurrence or presumption of concurrence in order for the
activity to be authorized by an NWP. The district engineer or a state may require additional measures to
ensure that the authorized activity is consistent with state coastal zone management requirements.
27. Regional and Case-By-Case Conditions. The activity must comply with any regional conditions that
may have been added by the Division Engineer (see 33 CFR 330.4(e)) and with any case specific
conditions added by the Corps or by the state, Indian Tribe, or U.S. EPA in its CWA section 401 Water
Quality Certification, or by the state in its Coastal Zone Management Act consistency determination.
11
28. Use of Multiple Nationwide Permits. The use of more than one NWP for a single and complete project
is authorized, subject to the following restrictions:
(a) If only one of the NWPs used to authorize the single and complete project has a specified acreage
limit, the acreage loss of waters of the United States cannot exceed the acreage limit of the NWP with the
highest specified acreage limit. For example, if a road crossing over tidal waters is constructed under
NWP 14, with associated bank stabilization authorized by NWP 13, the maximum acreage loss of waters
of the United States for the total project cannot exceed 1⁄3-acre.
(b) If one or more of the NWPs used to authorize the single and complete project has specified acreage
limits, the acreage loss of waters of the United States authorized by those NWPs cannot exceed their
respective specified acreage limits. For example, if a commercial development is constructed under NWP
39, and the single and complete project includes the filling of an upland ditch authorized by NWP 46, the
maximum acreage loss of waters of the United States for the commercial development under NWP 39
cannot exceed 1/2-acre, and the total acreage loss of waters of United States due to the NWP 39 and 46
activities cannot exceed 1 acre.
29. Transfer of Nationwide Permit Verifications. If the permittee sells the property associated with a
nationwide permit verification, the permittee may transfer the nationwide permit verification to the new
owner by submitting a letter to the appropriate Corps district office to validate the transfer. A copy of the
nationwide permit verification must be attached to the letter, and the letter must contain the following
statement and signature:
“When the structures or work authorized by this nationwide permit are still in existence at the time the
property is transferred, the terms and conditions of this nationwide permit, including any special
conditions, will continue to be binding on the new owner(s) of the property. To validate the transfer of this
nationwide permit and the associated liabilities associated with compliance with its terms and conditions,
have the transferee sign and date below.”
_____________________________________________
(Transferee)
_____________________________________________
(Date)
30. Compliance Certification. Each permittee who receives an NWP verification letter from the Corps must
provide a signed certification documenting completion of the authorized activity and implementation of
any required compensatory mitigation. The success of any required permittee-responsible mitigation,
including the achievement of ecological performance standards, will be addressed separately by the
district engineer. The Corps will provide the permittee the certification document with the NWP verification
letter. The certification document will include:
(a) A statement that the authorized activity was done in accordance with the NWP authorization, including
any general, regional, or activity-specific conditions;
(b) A statement that the implementation of any required compensatory mitigation was completed in
accordance with the permit conditions. If credits from a mitigation bank or in-lieu fee program are used to
satisfy the compensatory mitigation requirements, the certification must include the documentation
required by 33 CFR 332.3(l)(3) to confirm that the permittee secured the appropriate number and
resource type of credits; and
(c) The signature of the permittee certifying the completion of the activity and mitigation.
12
The completed certification document must be submitted to the district engineer within 30 days of
completion of the authorized activity or the implementation of any required compensatory mitigation,
whichever occurs later.
31. Activities Affecting Structures or Works Built by the United States. If an NWP activity also requires
review by, or permission from, the Corps pursuant to 33 U.S.C. 408 because it will alter or temporarily or
permanently occupy or use a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) federally authorized Civil Works
project (a “USACE project”), the prospective permittee must submit a pre-construction notification. See
paragraph (b)(10) of general condition 32. An activity that requires section 408 permission and/or review
is not authorized by an NWP until the appropriate Corps office issues the section 408 permission or
completes its review to alter, occupy, or use the USACE project, and the district engineer issues a written
NWP verification.
32. Pre-Construction Notification. (a) Timing. Where required by the terms of the NWP, the prospective
permittee must notify the district engineer by submitting a pre-construction notification (PCN) as early as
possible. The district engineer must determine if the PCN is complete within 30 calendar days of the date
of receipt and, if the PCN is determined to be incomplete, notify the prospective permittee within that 30
day period to request the additional information necessary to make the PCN complete. The request must
specify the information needed to make the PCN complete. As a general rule, district engineers will
request additional information necessary to make the PCN complete only once. However, if the
prospective permittee does not provide all of the requested information, then the district engineer will
notify the prospective permittee that the PCN is still incomplete and the PCN review process will not
commence until all of the requested information has been received by the district engineer. The
prospective permittee shall not begin the activity until either:
(1) He or she is notified in writing by the district engineer that the activity may proceed under the NWP
with any special conditions imposed by the district or division engineer; or
(2) 45 calendar days have passed from the district engineer’s receipt of the complete PCN and the
prospective permittee has not received written notice from the district or division engineer. However, if the
permittee was required to notify the Corps pursuant to general condition 18 that listed species or critical
habitat might be affected or are in the vicinity of the activity, or to notify the Corps pursuant to general
condition 20 that the activity might have the potential to cause effects to historic properties, the permittee
cannot begin the activity until receiving written notification from the Corps that there is “no effect” on listed
species or “no potential to cause effects” on historic properties, or that any consultation required under
Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act (see 33 CFR 330.4(f)) and/or section 106 of the National
Historic Preservation Act (see 33 CFR 330.4(g)) has been completed. If the proposed activity requires a
written waiver to exceed specified limits of an NWP, the permittee may not begin the activity until the
district engineer issues the waiver. If the district or division engineer notifies the permittee in writing that
an individual permit is required within 45 calendar days of receipt of a complete PCN, the permittee
cannot begin the activity until an individual permit has been obtained. Subsequently, the permittee’s right
to proceed under the NWP may be modified, suspended, or revoked only in accordance with the
procedure set forth in 33 CFR 330.5(d)(2).
(b) Contents of Pre-Construction Notification: The PCN must be in writing and include the following
information:
(1) Name, address and telephone numbers of the prospective permittee;
(2) Location of the proposed activity;
(3) Identify the specific NWP or NWP(s) the prospective permittee wants to use to authorize the proposed
activity;
(4) (i) A description of the proposed activity; the activity’s purpose; direct and indirect adverse
environmental effects the activity would cause, including the anticipated amount of loss of wetlands, other
special aquatic sites, and other waters expected to result from the NWP activity, in acres, linear feet, or
13
other appropriate unit of measure; a description of any proposed mitigation measures intended to reduce
the adverse environmental effects caused by the proposed activity; and any other NWP(s), regional
general permit(s), or individual permit(s) used or intended to be used to authorize any part of the
proposed project or any related activity, including other separate and distant crossings for linear projects
that require Department of the Army authorization but do not require pre-construction notification. The
description of the proposed activity and any proposed mitigation measures should be sufficiently detailed
to allow the district engineer to determine that the adverse environmental effects of the activity will be no
more than minimal and to determine the need for compensatory mitigation or other mitigation measures.
(ii) For linear projects where one or more single and complete crossings require pre-construction
notification, the PCN must include the quantity of anticipated losses of wetlands, other special aquatic
sites, and other waters for each single and complete crossing of those wetlands, other special aquatic
sites, and other waters (including those single and complete crossings authorized by an NWP but do not
require PCNs). This information will be used by the district engineer to evaluate the cumulative adverse
environmental effects of the proposed linear project, and does not change those non-PCN NWP activities
into NWP PCNs.
(iii) Sketches should be provided when necessary to show that the activity complies with the terms of the
NWP. (Sketches usually clarify the activity and when provided results in a quicker decision. Sketches
should contain sufficient detail to provide an illustrative description of the proposed activity (e.g., a
conceptual plan), but do not need to be detailed engineering plans);
(5) The PCN must include a delineation of wetlands, other special aquatic sites, and other waters, such
as lakes and ponds, and perennial and intermittent streams, on the project site. Wetland delineations
must be prepared in accordance with the current method required by the Corps. The permittee may ask
the Corps to delineate the special aquatic sites and other waters on the project site, but there may be a
delay if the Corps does the delineation, especially if the project site is large or contains many wetlands,
other special aquatic sites, and other waters. Furthermore, the 45-day period will not start until the
delineation has been submitted to or completed by the Corps, as appropriate;
(6) If the proposed activity will result in the loss of greater than 1/10-acre of wetlands or 3/100-acre of
stream bed and a PCN is required, the prospective permittee must submit a statement describing how the
mitigation requirement will be satisfied, or explaining why the adverse environmental effects are no more
than minimal and why compensatory mitigation should not be required. As an alternative, the prospective
permittee may submit a conceptual or detailed mitigation plan.
(7) For non-federal permittees, if any listed species (or species proposed for listing) or designated critical
habitat (or critical habitat proposed for such designation) might be affected or is in the vicinity of the
activity, or if the activity is located in designated critical habitat (or critical habitat proposed for such
designation), the PCN must include the name(s) of those endangered or threatened species (or species
proposed for listing) that might be affected by the proposed activity or utilize the designated critical habitat
(or critical habitat proposed for such designation) that might be affected by the proposed activity. For
NWP activities that require pre-construction notification, Federal permittees must provide documentation
demonstrating compliance with the Endangered Species Act;
(8) For non-federal permittees, if the NWP activity might have the potential to cause effects to a historic
property listed on, determined to be eligible for listing on, or potentially eligible for listing on, the National
Register of Historic Places, the PCN must state which historic property might have the potential to be
affected by the proposed activity or include a vicinity map indicating the location of the historic property.
For NWP activities that require pre-construction notification, Federal permittees must provide
documentation demonstrating compliance with section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act;
(9) For an activity that will occur in a component of the National Wild and Scenic River System, or in a
river officially designated by Congress as a “study river” for possible inclusion in the system while the river
is in an official study status, the PCN must identify the Wild and Scenic River or the “study river” (see
general condition 16); and
14
(10) For an NWP activity that requires permission from, or review by, the Corps pursuant to 33 U.S.C. 408
because it will alter or temporarily or permanently occupy or use a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
federally authorized civil works project, the pre-construction notification must include a statement
confirming that the project proponent has submitted a written request for section 408 permission from, or
review by, the Corps office having jurisdiction over that USACE project.
(c) Form of Pre-Construction Notification: The nationwide permit pre-construction notification form (Form
ENG 6082) should be used for NWP PCNs. A letter containing the required information may also be
used. Applicants may provide electronic files of PCNs and supporting materials if the district engineer
has established tools and procedures for electronic submittals.
(d) Agency Coordination: (1) The district engineer will consider any comments from Federal and state
agencies concerning the proposed activity’s compliance with the terms and conditions of the NWPs and
the need for mitigation to reduce the activity’s adverse environmental effects so that they are no more
than minimal.
(2) Agency coordination is required for: (i) all NWP activities that require pre-construction notification and
result in the loss of greater than 1/2-acre of waters of the United States; (ii) NWP 13 activities in excess of
500 linear feet, fills greater than one cubic yard per running foot, or involve discharges of dredged or fill
material into special aquatic sites; and (iii) NWP 54 activities in excess of 500 linear feet, or that extend
into the waterbody more than 30 feet from the mean low water line in tidal waters or the ordinary high
water mark in the Great Lakes.
(3) When agency coordination is required, the district engineer will immediately provide (e.g., via e-mail,
facsimile transmission, overnight mail, or other expeditious manner) a copy of the complete PCN to the
appropriate Federal or state offices (FWS, state natural resource or water quality agency, EPA, and, if
appropriate, the NMFS). With the exception of NWP 37, these agencies will have 10 calendar days from
the date the material is transmitted to notify the district engineer via telephone, facsimile transmission, or
e-mail that they intend to provide substantive, site-specific comments. The comments must explain why
the agency believes the adverse environmental effects will be more than minimal. If so contacted by an
agency, the district engineer will wait an additional 15 calendar days before making a decision on the pre-
construction notification. The district engineer will fully consider agency comments received within the
specified time frame concerning the proposed activity’s compliance with the terms and conditions of the
NWPs, including the need for mitigation to ensure that the net adverse environmental effects of the
proposed activity are no more than minimal. The district engineer will provide no response to the resource
agency, except as provided below. The district engineer will indicate in the administrative record
associated with each pre-construction notification that the resource agencies’ concerns were considered.
For NWP 37, the emergency watershed protection and rehabilitation activity may proceed immediately in
cases where there is an unacceptable hazard to life or a significant loss of property or economic hardship
will occur. The district engineer will consider any comments received to decide whether the NWP 37
authorization should be modified, suspended, or revoked in accordance with the procedures at 33 CFR
330.5.
(4) In cases of where the prospective permittee is not a Federal agency, the district engineer will provide
a response to NMFS within 30 calendar days of receipt of any Essential Fish Habitat conservation
recommendations, as required by section 305(b)(4)(B) of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation
and Management Act.
(5) Applicants are encouraged to provide the Corps with either electronic files or multiple copies of pre-
construction notifications to expedite agency coordination.
C. SEATTLE DISTRICT REGIONAL GENERAL CONDITIONS: The following conditions apply to the
2021 NWPs - Final 41 NWPs for the Seattle District in Washington State, as applicable.
RGC 1, Project Drawings
Drawings must be submitted with a pre-construction notification (PCN). Drawings must provide a clear
understanding of the proposed project, and how waters of the United States will be affected. Drawings
15
must be originals and not reduced copies of large-scale plans. Engineering drawings are not required.
Existing and proposed site conditions (manmade and landscape features) must be drawn to scale.
RGC 2, Aquatic Resources Requiring Special Protection
A PCN is required for activities resulting in a loss of waters of the United States in wetlands in dunal
systems along the Washington coast, mature forested wetlands, bogs and peatlands, aspen-dominated
wetlands, alkali wetlands, vernal pools, camas prairie wetlands, estuarine wetlands, and wetlands in
coastal lagoons.
RGC 3, New Bank Stabilization in Tidal Waters of Puget Sound
Activities involving new bank stabilization in tidal waters in Water Resource Inventory Areas (WRIAs) 8, 9,
10, 11, and 12 (within the areas identified on Figures 1a through 1e) cannot be authorized by NWP.
RGC 4, Commencement Bay
No permanent losses of wetlands or mudflats within the Commencement Bay Study Area may be
authorized by any NWP (see Figure 2).
RGC 5, Bank Stabilization
All projects including new or maintenance bank stabilization activities in waters of the United States
where salmonid species are present or could be present, requires PCN to the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers (Corps) (see NWP general condition 32).
For new bank stabilization projects only, the following must be submitted to the Corps:
a. The cause of the erosion and the distance of any existing structures from the area(s) being
stabilized.
b. The type and length of existing bank stabilization within 300 feet of the proposed project.
c. A description of current conditions and expected post-project conditions in the waterbody.
d. A statement describing how the project incorporates elements avoiding and minimizing adverse
environmental effects to the aquatic environment and nearshore riparian area, including vegetation
impacts in the waterbody.
In addition to a. through d., the results from any relevant geotechnical investigations can be submitted
with the PCN if it describes current or expected conditions in the waterbody.
RGC 6, Crossings of Waters of the United States
Any project including installing, replacing, or modifying crossings of waters of the United States, such as
culverts or bridges, requires submittal of a PCN to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (see NWP general
condition 32).
If a culvert is proposed to cross waters of the U.S. where salmonid species are present or could be
present, the project must apply the stream simulation design method from the Washington Department of
Fish and Wildlife located in the Water Crossing Design Guidelines (2013), or a design method which
provides passage at all life stages at all flows where the salmonid species would naturally seek passage.
If the stream simulation design method is not applied for a culvert where salmonid species are present or
could be present, the applicant must provide a rationale in the PCN sufficient to establish one of the
following:
a. The existence of extraordinary site conditions.
b. How the proposed design will provide equivalent or better fish passage and fisheries habitat benefits
than the stream simulation design method.
16
Culverts installed under emergency authorization that do not meet the above design criteria will be
required to meet the above design criteria to receive an after-the-fact nationwide permit verification.
RGC 7, Stream Loss
A PCN is required for all activities that result in the loss of any linear feet of streams.
RGC 8, Construction Boundaries
Permittees must clearly mark all construction area boundaries within waters of the United States before
beginning work on projects that involve grading or placement of fill. Boundary markers and/or construction
fencing must be maintained and clearly visible for the duration of construction. Permittees should avoid
and minimize removal of native vegetation (including submerged aquatic vegetation) to the maximum
extent possible.
RGC 9, ESA Reporting to NMFS
For any nationwide permit that may affect threatened or endangered species:
Incidents where any individuals of fish species, marine mammals and/or sea turtles listed by National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Fisheries, National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) under the
Endangered Species Act appear to be injured or killed as a result of discharges of dredged or fill material
into waters of the U.S. or structures or work in navigable waters of the U.S. authorized by this Nationwide
Permit verification shall be reported to NMFS, Office of Protected Resources at (301) 713-1401 and the
Regulatory Office of the Seattle District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers at (206) 764-3495. The
finder should leave the animal alone, make note of any circumstances likely causing the death or injury,
note the location and number of individuals involved and, if possible, take photographs. Adult animals
should not be disturbed unless circumstances arise where they are obviously injured or killed by
discharge exposure or some unnatural cause. The finder may be asked to carry out instructions provided
by the NMFS to collect specimens or take other measures to ensure that evidence intrinsic to the
specimen is preserved.
RGC 10, Limitations on New Bank Stabilization Within the Salish Sea
The length of new bank stabilization within waters of the U.S., including new bank stabilization associated
with maintenance activities that would expand previously authorized armoring length, cannot exceed 50
linear feet within the Salish Sea under any NWP.
RGC 11, Effects to Forage Fish Spawning Beaches, Drift Cells, and Feeder Bluffs)
No NWP activity can:
a. cause more than minimal adverse effects to forage fish spawning beaches or drift cells; or
b. prevent the functioning of feeder bluffs, including more than minimal adverse effects to sediment
recruitment, transport, or deposition.
This regional general condition applies to all NWP activities within the Salish Sea. Information regarding
the location of forage fish spawning beaches is available on the Washington Department of Fish and
Wildlife’s (WDFW) Forage Fish Spawning Map at
https://wdfw.maps.arcgis.com/home/webmap/viewer.html?webmap=19b8f74e2d41470cbd80b1
af8dedd6b3. Information regarding the location and movement of drift cells, shoreline stability, and
coastal landforms, to include feeder bluffs, is available at the Washington State Department of Ecology’s
Coastal Atlas Map website: https://apps.ecology.wa.gov/coastalatlasmap. These maps are resources that
can be used to help identify the location of forage fish spawning beaches, drift cells, and feeder bluffs;
they are not a substitute for site-specific data. Information about forage fish, their spawning habitats, and
spawning behavior are available through the WDFW. Additional information about the importance of
these species as prey species for Endangered Species Act listed salmonids can be found on the National
Marine Fisheries Service website.

RGC 12, Bank Stabilization Design Considerations
Bank stabilization activities, including maintenance activities, shall utilize living shorelines, vegetative
stabilization, bioengineering, including but not limited to large woody material with intact root wads, and
other soft bank stabilization approaches to the maximum practicable extent before considering hard bank
stabilization methods such as bulkheads and rock revetments.
RGC 13, PCNs for Activities in Areas Where There May Be Treaty-Reserved Tribal Rights
To ensure compliance with General Condition 17, Tribal Rights, a pre-construction notification (PCN) is
required for all NWPs associated with structures or fills in areas where Tribes have retained via treaty the
right to fish in their usual and accustomed grounds and stations.
RGC 14, Maintenance of Existing Bank Stabilization Structures and Fills
(Applicable to NWP 3, Maintenance Activities) Maintenance of existing bank stabilization structures that
expand the existing structure’s footprint or dimensions either waterward, vertically, or linearly along the
shoreline within the geographic jurisdiction of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers are not eligible for NWP 3.
D. SEATTLE DISTRICT REGIONAL SPECIFIC CONDITIONS FOR THIS NWP:
NWP 27 Specific Regional Conditions:
1. A pre-construction notification (PCN) must be submitted to the district engineer (see NWP
general condition 32) for any proposed project located in a Department of the Army permit
compensatory mitigation site, Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability
Act (Superfund) site, Resource Conservation and Recovery Act hazardous waste clean-up site,
Washington State Department of Ecology compensatory mitigation site, or Washington State Model
Toxics Control Act clean-up site.
2. For projects subject to PCN, if there is a loss of waters of the U.S. the project proponent must
explain in the PCN why the loss is necessary. The project proponent must also demonstrate how
despite the loss of waters the overall project would result in a net increase in aquatic/ecological
functions .
3. The PCN must contain a description of pre-project site conditions including presence of wetlands
(including photographs) and aquatic/ecological functions the site provides within the watershed.
4. For projects that would result in a loss of waters of the U.S., the project proponent must include
maintenance and monitoring plans with the PCN.
5. Restoration projects involving shellfish seeding must use shellfish native to the watershed.
E. 401 WATER QUALITY CERTIFICATION: Depending on the geographic region of the work authorized
by this verification, the appropriate 401 certifying authority has made the following determinations:
Washington Department of Ecology (Ecology) (Projects in all areas except as described for the
other certifying agencies listed below): General and Specific WQC Conditions
A. State General Conditions for all Nationwide Permits
In addition to all of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ (Corps) national and Seattle District’s regional
permit conditions, the following state general Water Quality Certification (WQC) conditions apply to all
NWPs whether granted or granted with conditions in Washington where Ecology is the certifying
authority.
Due to the lack of site specific information on the discharge types, quantities, and specific locations, as
well as the condition of receiving waters and the quantity of waters (including wetlands) that may be lost,
Ecology may need to review the project if one of the following state general conditions is triggered.
18
This case-by-case review may be required, and additional information regarding the project and
associated discharges may be needed, to verify that the proposed project would comply with state water
quality requirements and if an individual WQC is required or if the project meets this programmatic
WQC.
1. In-water construction activities. Ecology WQC review is required for projects or activities
authorized under NWPs where the project proponent has indicated on the Joint Aquatic Resource
Permit Application (JARPA) question 9e that the project or activity will not meet State water
quality standards, or has provided information indicating that the project or activity will cause, or
may be likely to cause or contribute to an exceedance of a State water quality standard (Chapter
173-201A WAC) or sediment management standard (Chapter 173-204 WAC).
Note: In-water activities include any activity within a jurisdictional wetland and/or waters.
2. Projects or Activities Discharging to Impaired Waters. Ecology WQC review is required for
projects or activities that will occur in a 303(d) listed segment of a waterbody or upstream of a listed
segment and may result in further exceedances of the specific listed parameter to determine if the
project meets this programmatic WQC or will require individual WQC.
To determine if your project or activity is in a 303(d) listed segment of a waterbody, visit Ecology’s Water
Quality Assessment webpage for maps and search tools.
3. Aquatic resources requiring special protection. Certain aquatic resources are unique and
difficult-to-replace components of the aquatic environment in Washington. Activities that would
affect these resources must be avoided to the greatest extent practicable. Compensating for
adverse impacts to high value aquatic resources is typically difficult, prohibitively expensive, and
may not be possible in some landscape settings.
Ecology WQC review is required for projects or activities in areas identified below to determine if the
project meets this programmatic WQC or will require individual WQC.
a. Activities in or affecting the following aquatic resources:
i. Wetlands with special characteristics (as defined in the Washington State
Wetland Rating Systems for western and eastern Washington, Ecology
Publications #14-06-029 and #14-06-030):
• Estuarine wetlands.
• Wetlands of High Conservation Value.
• Bogs.
• Old-growth forested wetlands and mature forested wetlands.
• Wetlands in coastal lagoons.
• Wetlands in dunal systems along the Washington coast.
• Vernal pools.
• Alkali wetlands.
ii. Fens, aspen-dominated wetlands, camas prairie wetlands.
iii. Category I wetlands.
iv. Category II wetlands with a habitat score ≥ 8 points.
b. Activities in or resulting in a loss of eelgrass (Zostera marina) beds.
This state general condition does not apply to the following NWPs:
19
NWP 20 – Response Operations for Oil and Hazardous Substances
NWP 32 – Completed Enforcement Actions
NWP 48 – Commercial Shellfish Mariculture Activities
4. Loss of More than 300 Linear Feet of Streambed. For any project that results in the loss of more
than 300 linear feet of streambed Ecology WQC review is required to determine if the project meets
this programmatic WQC or will require individual WQC.
5. Temporary Fills. For any project or activity with temporary fill in wetlands or other waters for
more than six months Ecology WQC review is required to determine if the project meets this
programmatic WQC or will require individual WQC.
6. Mitigation. Project proponents are required to show that they have followed the mitigation
sequence and have first avoided and minimized impacts to aquatic resources wherever practicable.
For projects requiring Ecology WQC review or an individual WQC with unavoidable impacts to
aquatics resources, a mitigation plan must be provided.
a. Wetland mitigation plans submitted for Ecology review and approval shall be based
on the most current guidance provided in Wetland Mitigation in Washington State,
Parts 1 and 2 (available on Ecology’s website) and shall, at a minimum, include the
following:
i. A description of the measures taken to avoid and minimize impacts to
wetlands and other waters of the U.S.
ii. The nature of the proposed impacts (i.e., acreage of wetlands and
functions lost or degraded).
iii. The rationale for the mitigation site that was selected.
iv. The goals and objectives of the compensatory mitigation project.
v. How the mitigation project will be accomplished, including construction
sequencing, best management practices to protect water quality,
proposed performance standards for measuring success and the
proposed buffer widths.
vi. How it will be maintained and monitored to assess progress toward goals
and objectives. Monitoring will generally be required for a minimum of five
years. For forested and scrub-shrub wetlands, 10 years of monitoring will
often be necessary.
vii. How the compensatory mitigation site will be legally protected for the long
term.
Refer to Wetland Mitigation in Washington State – Part 2: Developing Mitigation Plans (Ecology
Publication #06-06-011b) and Selecting Wetland Mitigation Sites Using a Watershed Approach
(Ecology Publications #09-06- 032 (Western Washington) and #10-06-007 (Eastern Washington)) for
guidance on selecting suitable mitigation sites and developing mitigation plans.
Ecology encourages the use of alternative mitigation approaches, including credit/debit methodology,
advance mitigation, and other programmatic approaches such as mitigation banks and in-lieu fee
programs. If you are interested in proposing use of an alternative mitigation approach, consult with the
appropriate Ecology regional staff person. Information on alternative mitigation approaches is available
on Ecology’s website.
20
b. Mitigation for other aquatic resource impacts will be determined on a case-by- case
basis.
7. Stormwater Pollution Prevention. All projects involving land disturbance or impervious surfaces
must implement stormwater pollution prevention or control measures to avoid discharge of pollutants
in stormwater runoff to waters.
a. For land disturbances during construction, the applicant must obtain and
implement permits (e.g., Construction Stormwater General Permit) where
required and follow Ecology’s current stormwater manual.
b. Following construction, prevention or treatment of on-going stormwater runoff from
impervious surfaces shall be provided.
Ecology’s Stormwater Management and Design Manuals and stormwater permit information are available
on Ecology’s website.
8. Application. For projects or activities that will require Ecology WQC review, or an individual
WQC, project proponents must provide Ecology with a JARPA or the equivalent information,
along with the documentation provided to the Corps, as described in national general
condition 32, Pre-Construction Notification (PCN), including, where applicable:
a. A description of the project, including site plans, project purpose, direct and indirect
adverse environmental effects the project discharge(s) would cause, best management
practices (BMPs), and proposed means to monitor the discharge(s).
b. List of all federal, state or local agency authorizations required to be used for any part
of the proposed project or any related activity.
c. Drawings indicating the OHWM, delineation of special aquatic sites, and other waters of
the state. Wetland delineations must be prepared in accordance with the current method
required by the Corps and shall include Ecology’s Wetland Rating form. Wetland Rating
forms are subject to review and verification by Ecology staff.
Guidance for determining the OHWM is available on Ecology’s website.
d. A statement describing how the mitigation requirement will be satisfied. A conceptual
or detailed mitigation or restoration plan may be submitted. See state general condition
5.
e. Other applicable requirements of Corps NWP general condition 32, Corps regional
conditions, or notification conditions of the applicable NWP.
Ecology grants with conditions Water Quality Certification (WQC) for this NWP provided that
Ecology individual WQC review is not required per the state general conditions (see above) and the
following conditions:
Ecology Section 401 Water Quality Certification – Granted with conditions.
1. Ecology WQC review is required if the project or activity is in a known contaminated or
cleanup site to determine if an individual WQC is required or the project meets the
programmatic WQC for this NWP.
2. Ecology individual WQC is required for projects or activities authorized under this NWP
21
if:
a. The project or activity directly impacts ½ acre or more of tidal waters; or
b. The project or activity affects ½ acre or more of wetlands; or
c. The project or activity is a mitigation bank or an advance mitigation site.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) (on Tribal Lands where Tribes Do Not Have Treatment in
a Similar Manner as a State and Lands with Exclusive Federal Jurisdiction in Washington):
On behalf of the 28 tribes that do not have treatment in a similar manner as a state and for exclusive
federal jurisdiction lands located within the state of Washington, EPA Region 10 has determined that
CWA Section 401 WQC for the following proposed NWPs is granted with conditions. EPA Region 10
has determined that any discharge authorized under the following proposed NWPs will comply with
water quality requirements, as defined at 40 C.F.R. § 121.1(n), subject to the following conditions
pursuant to CWA Section 401(d).
General Conditions:
EPA General Condition 1 – Aquatic Resources of Special Concern
Activities resulting in a point source discharge in the following types of aquatic resources of special
concern shall request an individual project-specific CWA Section 401 WQC: mature forested wetlands;
bogs, fens and other peatlands; vernal pools; aspen-dominated wetlands; alkali wetlands; camas
prairie wetlands; wetlands in dunal systems along the Oregon or Washington Coast; riffle-pool
complexes of streams; marine or estuarine mud-flats; salt marshes; marine waters with native eelgrass
or kelp beds; or marine nearshore forage fish habitat. To identify whether a project would occur in any
of these aquatic resources of special concern, project proponents shall use existing and available
information to identify the location and type of resources, including using the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service’s online digital National Wetland Inventory maps, identifying project location on topographical
maps, and/or providing on-site determinations as required by the Corps. When a project requires a Pre-
Construction Notification (PCN) to the Corps, project proponents shall work with the Corps to identify
whether the project is in any of these specific aquatic resources of special concern.
EPA General Condition 2 – Soil Erosion and Sediment Controls
Turbidity shall not exceed background turbidity by more than 50 Nephelometric Turbidity Units (NTU)
above background instantaneously or more than 25 NTU above background for more than ten
consecutive days.8 Projects or activities that are expected to exceed these levels require an individual
project-specific CWA Section 401 WQC.
The turbidity standard shall be met at the following distances from the discharge:
Wetted Stream Width at Discharge
Point
Approximate Downstream Point to
Sample to Determine Compliance
Up to 30 feet 50 feet
>30 to 100 feet 100 feet
>100 feet to 200 feet 200 feet
>200 feet 300 feet
Lake, Pond, Reservoir
Lesser of 100 feet or maximum surface
distance
For Marine Water Point of Compliance for Temporary Area of
Mixing
22
Estuaries or Marine Waters
Radius of 150 feet from the activity causing
the turbidity exceedance
Measures to prevent and/or reduce turbidity shall be implemented and monitored prior to, during, and
after construction. Turbidity monitoring shall be done at the point of compliance within 24 hours of a
precipitation event of 0.25 inches or greater. During monitoring and maintenance, if turbidity limits are
exceeded or if measures are identified as ineffective, then additional measures shall be taken to come
into compliance and EPA shall be notified within 48 hours of the exceedance or measure failure.
EPA General Condition 3 - Compliance with Stormwater Pollution Prevention and the National Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System Permit Provisions
For land disturbances during construction that 1) disturb one or more acres of land, or 2) will disturb
less than one acre of land but are part of a common plan of development or sale that will ultimately
disturb one or more acres of land, the permittee shall obtain and implement Construction Stormwater
General Permit requirements,9 including:
1. The permittee shall develop a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP)10 and submit
it to EPA Region 10 and appropriate Corps District; and
2. Following construction, prevention or treatment of ongoing stormwater
runoff from impervious surfaces that includes soil infiltration shall be
implemented.
EPA General Condition 4 – Projects or Activities Discharging to Impaired Waters
Projects or activities are not authorized under the NWPs if the project will involve point source
discharges into an active channel (e.g., flowing or open waters) of a water of the U.S. listed as
impaired under CWA Section 303(d) and/or if the waterbody has an approved Total Maximum Daily
Load (TMDL) and the discharge may result in further exceedance of a specific parameter (e.g., total
suspended solids, dissolved oxygen, temperature) for which the waterbody is listed or has an
approved TMDL. The current lists of impaired waters of the U.S. under CWA Section 303(d) and
waters of the U.S. for which a TMDL has been approved are available on EPA Region 10’s web site at:
https://www.epa.gov/tmdl/impaired-waters-and-tmdls-region-10.
EPA General Condition 5 – Notice to EPA
All project proponents shall provide notice to EPA Region 10 prior to commencing construction
activities authorized by a NWP. This will provide EPA Region 10 with the opportunity to inspect the
activity for the purposes of determining whether any discharge from the proposed project will violate
this CWA Section 401 WQC. Where the Corps requires a PCN for an applicable NWP, the project
proponent shall also provide the PCN to EPA Region 10. EPA Region 10 will provide written
notification to the project proponent if the proposed project will violate the water quality certification of
the NWP.
EPA General Condition 6 – Unsuitable Materials
The project proponent shall not use wood products treated with leachable chemical components (e.g.,
copper, arsenic, zinc, creosote, chromium, chloride, fluoride, pentachlorophenol), which result in a
discharge to waters of the U.S., unless the wood products meet the following criteria:
1. Wood preservatives and their application shall be in compliance with EPA label
requirements and criteria of approved EPA Registration Documents under the Federal
Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act;
2. Use of chemically treated wood products shall follow the Western Wood Preservatives
Institute (WWPI) guidelines and BMPs to minimize the preservative migrating from
treated wood into the aquatic environment;
3. For new or replacement wood structures, the wood shall be sealed with non-toxic
products such as water-based silica or soy-based water repellants or sealers to prevent
or limit leaching. Acceptable alternatives to chemically treated wood include untreated
23
wood, steel (painted, unpainted or coated with epoxy petroleum compound or plastic),
concrete and plastic lumber; and
4. All removal of chemically treated wood products (including pilings) shall follow the most
recent “EPA Region 10 Best Management Practices for Piling Removal and Placement
in Washington State.”
EPA NWP Specific Conditions:
NWP 27 is conditionally certified, subject to the general conditions listed above, except that an
individual project-specific WQC is required when the project:
1. Involves dam removal; or
2. Involves greater than 1 acre of impacts to waters of the U.S.; or
3. Would impact greater than 500 linear feet of waters of the U.S.; or
4. Involves greater than 1/2 acre of impacts to tidal wetlands or waters.
Specific Tribes with Certifying Authority (Projects in Specific Tribal Areas):
WQC was issued by the Swinomish Indian Tribal Community. WQC was waived by the Confederated
Tribes of the Chehalis Reservation and Colville Indian Reservation, Kalispel Tribe of Indians, Port
Gamble S'Klallam Tribe, Quinault Indian Nation, and the Spokane Tribe of Indians. WQC was denied by
the Lummi Nation, Makah Tribe, Puyallup Tribe of Indians, and the Tulalip Tribes; therefore, individual
WQC is required from these tribes.
F. COASTAL ZONE MANAGEMENT ACT (CZMA) CONSISTENCY RESPONSE FOR THIS NWP:
Ecology’s determination is that they concur with conditions that this NWP is consistent with CZMA.
CZM Federal Consistency Response – Concur with Conditions.
1. A CZM Federal Consistency Decision is required for projects or activities under this NWP if a
State 401 Water Quality Certification is required.

Re: Endangered Species Act Section 7(a)(2) Concurrence Letter and Magnuson-Stevens
Fishery Conservation and Management Act Essential Fish Habitat Response for
authorization of the Madsen Creek 5-Year Sediment Basin Maintenance project, Renton,
King County, Washington (HUC: 171100120107 – Madsen Creek-Cedar River) (NWS-
2009-0481)
Dear Mr. Atkins:
This letter responds to the U.S Army Corps of Engineers’ (USACE’s) February 15, 2024, request
for consultation from the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) pursuant to Section 7 of the
Endangered Species Act (ESA) for the subject action. Your request qualified for our expedited
review and concurrence because it contained all required information on your proposed action
and its potential effects to ESA-listed species and designated critical habitat.
Updates to the regulations governing interagency consultation (50 CFR part 402) were effective
on May 6, 2024 (89 Fed. Reg. 24268). We are applying the updated regulations to this
consultation. The 2024 regulatory changes, like those from 2019, were intended to improve and
clarify the consultation process, and, with one exception from 2024 (offsetting reasonable and
prudent measures), were not intended to result in changes to the Services’ existing practice in
implementing section 7(a)(2) of the Act. 84 Fed. Reg. at 45015; 89 Fed. Reg. at 24268. We have
considered the prior rules and affirm that the substantive analysis and conclusions articulated in
this letter of concurrence would not have been any different under the 2019 regulations or pre-
2019 regulations.
We reviewed your consultation request, and its enclosed biological evaluation and project
drawings. The USACE request letter identified a 2019 NMFS letter of concurrence (LOC) for a
previous maintenance project for the Madsen Creek sediment basin. Due to a typographical error
in the 2019 LOC, that consultation was incorrectly identified as WCR-2019-10902 in the USACE
request letter. The correct NMFS number was WCR-2018-10902.
In summary, until March 4, 2029, the project would annually remove an estimated 500 to 1,000
cubic yards of sediment from the Madsen Creek sediment basin. The project would also remove
boulders, large woody debris and vegetation that accumulate within the perimeter of the basin.
Work would include the construction and removal of a temporary diversion dam to redirect creek
flows through an existing diversion pipe during in-water work.
-2-
WCRO-2024-00329
All in-water work would be limited to the July 1 through August 31 in-work window for the
area, and appropriate best management practices would be followed to limit impacts to the
aquatic environment during project work.
Based on our knowledge, expertise, and your action agency’s materials, we concur with the
USACE’s conclusions that the proposed action is not likely to adversely affect the ESA-listed
species and or designated critical habitats under NMFS jurisdiction.
This letter underwent pre-dissemination review using standards for utility, integrity, and
objectivity in compliance with applicable guidelines issued under the Data Quality Act (section
515 of the Treasury and General Government Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 2001, Public
Law 106-554). The concurrence letter will be available at the Environmental Consultation
Organizer (https://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/resource/tool-app/environmental-consultation-
organizer-eco). A complete record of this consultation is on file at the Oregon Washington
Coastal Office.
Reinitiation of consultation is required and shall be requested by the USACE, or by the NMFS,
where discretionary federal involvement or control over the action has been retained or is
authorized by law and (1) the proposed action causes take; (2) new information reveals effects of
the action that may affect listed species or critical habitat in a manner or to an extent not
previously considered; (3) the identified action is subsequently modified in a manner that causes
an effect to the listed species or critical habitat that was not considered in the written
concurrence; or (4) a new species is listed or critical habitat designated that may be affected by
the identified action (50 CFR 402.16). This concludes the ESA consultation.
MAGNUSON-STEVENS FISHERY CONSERVATION AND MANAGEMENT ACT
The NMFS also reviewed the proposed action for potential effects on essential fish habitat (EFH)
designated under the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (MSA),
including conservation measures and any determination you made regarding the potential effects
of the action. This review was pursuant to section 305(b) of the MSA, implementing regulations
at 50 CFR 600.920, and agency guidance for use of the ESA consultation process to complete
EFH consultation. In this case, the NMFS concluded the action would not adversely affect EFH.
Thus, consultation under the MSA is not required for this action.
Please direct questions regarding this letter to Lauren Liuzza in the Oregon Washington Coastal
Office at lauren.liuzza@noaa.gov or 301-427-7878.

DATE:October 7,1999
TO:Maplewood Sediment Basin File
FROM:Daniel Carey
SUBJECT:Maplewood Creek Sediment Basin
Cleaning Notes and Observations
The sediment basin was cleaned between 9/20/99 and 9/29/99.The following notes and
attached figures and photos are for future reference when the basin needs cleaning again.
Time Needed
9/20 Monday Mobilized to site -4 to 6 hrs
9/21 Tuesday Setup,organize,try to build first bypass dam (not successful)-8 hr
9/22 Wednesday Build bypass dam -2 to 4 hr (with material from previous day).
Drain basin and Rescue fish -4 to 5 hrs.
9/23 Thursday Start removing sediment,stockpile to dewater -8 hrs
9/24 Friday Removing sediment,haul to dispose on golf course -8 hrs
9/25 Saturday Removing sediment,haul to dispose on golf course -8 hrs
9/27 Monday Finish removing sediment,place rocks in upper creek,start refilling
basin over night -8 hrs
9/28 Tuesday Place rocks in upper creek,remove bypass dam,drain and close
bypass pipe,general raking.-8 hrs
9/29 Wednesday General clean up and demobilize -8 hrs (est.)
Cleaning takes about 2 weeks.
Allow more time for the silty sediment to dry out.
Cost
Because we the proposed lump sum prices from the fish channel contractor (we already
had a contract with)seemed too high we decided to use T &M for the work.It cost about
$3,200 per day (full working day,excavator,loader,dump truck,including 8.6%tax).
Disposal cost was minimal because the golf course took all the material for landscaping
and future course revisions.
The cost for hauling off site was estimated at $10 per cy for the truck and driver,plus $4
per cy for dry soil or $8 per cy for wet soil.The material could have gone to a soil site near
Cedar Hills landfill,about a 2 1/2 hour round trip.
Observations and Lessons Learned
McCarty Trout Pond
Be sure the adjacent property owner with the fish pond (Casey McCarty)is notified at least
one week before the work starts.He will have to get a pump and place it in the creek
adjacent his property to keep his fish pond full of fresh water.
Be sure his inlet valve (in the sediment basin)is closed before starting to dewater the
basin.
Open the old bypass valve on the golf course (at the southeast corner of the pump shack,
the key for the valve is in the pump shack).When that valve is closed it allows McCarty to
back up water in the pipe into his pond.When the valve is open it allows water from the
pipe (and sediment basin)to drain into the old creek bed.
Bypass Dam
Build the bypass tight at the concrete inlet.First place sand bags across bottom of creek
to conform to bottom and help form a seal.Then place media bags (fabric bags filled with
gravel/sand,about 3 ft square)on top of the sand bags.
Place plastic membrane (one large sheet)on top of media bags and extending upstream
about 15 feet out from bags.The membrane is placed about 15 feet upstream of the dam
to help seal the bottom and reduce water bypass under the dam.The plastic membrane
should be directed into the bypass structure.
Use sand bags on top of the membrane and on the sides to seal it.Need sand bags along
the upstream edge to help seal it.
Dig a sump downstream of the bypass dam (about 5 to 8 feet)and place a submersible
pump in it.Pump any seepage that gets past the dam back upstream.
Be ready to rescue fish in the creek immediately after the bypass dam is placed.

Dewatering Basin
Start early in the day!
Use the 8-inch valve in the overflow weir and fish weir to initially draw the basin down.
Slowly let the flow out to minimize the sediment stirred up.
When the old valve at the golf course shack is opened the McCarty inlet can also be used
to draw down the water level.
After the water level is below the valve invert use a portable pump to remove water from
the bottom of the basin.Flow from the 8-inch underdrain pipe is slow and didn’t seem
sufficient to dewater the sediment.
Fish Rescue
Allow the entire day to draw the pond down and rescue fish.The fish need to be rescued
as soon as possible.When the water level is low it may get too hot or oxygen depleted to
allow them to survive for more than a few hours.
Draw the water level down so there is only a small pond area,then net the fish in the pond
(on 9/22/99 we captured about 40 to 60 fish from the pond).
The WDFW electro shocker didn’t seem to work too well.We turned it up to higher level
than shown on the instructions.Some fish were shocked and beached themselves,
making capture easy.Wading with the shocker stirred up the silt and made it hard too see
any shocked fish.
When the water level was low (4 to 8 inches)it was possible to lay on the overflow weir
and reach down to net fish.This worked a little better than electro shocking.
When the McCarty inlet is used to drain the pond one person should be at it to net fish.A
large number of smaller fish (1 to 2 inch)were captured there.
Some of the rescued fish were placed in the top cell of the fish ladder,some were placed
in the bottom cell or pool at the outlet.
Recommendation -Make a large net (say 1.5’high by 3’to 4 wide)so it’s easier to
scoop and capture fish.The net will have to be made before the project begins.
You could also try to use an area net cast on the bottom,herd the fish to that side,then
draw it up and capture them.
Silty Soil at South End of Basin
Clean the basin before more than 1 foot of silt accumulates at the south end.
The silty soil at the south end needs time to dewater.Allow 3 to 4 days in the hot sun after
the basin is emptied.It may also help to stack the silty material in the basin and let it
continue to dewater before finally hauling away for disposal.

Cleaning\1 602 1999-Cleaning-MemoPics\1 999 Cleaning Memo-Notes.DOC\DWC\tb
Sediment Removal
First the trackhoe worked at the north end of the basin on the stable granular sediment.It
scraped the upper channel,then moved onto the delta at the north end of the basin.It was
able to sit on the delta,scrape the granular soil toward it,and form a large stockpile that
would dewater.
A front end loader was used to move granular soil stockpiled at the north end to a stockpile
in the upper parking lot.
The 1 foot granular layer above the liner felt hard when encountered,and was stable for
the trackhoe to drive on.It was easy for the operator to detect when he had excavated
through the sediment and reached the granular layer.
The operator stockpiled some silty material on the granular soil and let it dewater over
night,It lost some water and seemed drier and easier to work the next day.
Recommend -Allow the silty soil 2 days to dry in place,then pile it in stockpiles in the
basin so it can dewater further.
Refilling the Basin
It took about 12 to 16 hours to completely refill the basin at about 1/2 the flow.The 8-inch
valve in the fish weir was opened about ¼of the way and the water level in the fish weir
and basin was allowed to stabilize overnight.That placed the water level in the pond at
about 4 inches below the fish weir.
Next the bypass dam was removed and all the creek flow went into the sediment basin.
The 8-inch valve in the overflow spillway was opened to keep about Y2 the total flow to the
fish channel on the golf course (it should NOT be dried up).The water level in the pond
was allowed to rise to just below the fish weir.
The water level in the upper cell in the fish ladder needed to be draw down to drain the 18-
inch bypass pipe,and avoid trapping any fish that may have swum into it.The 18-inch
valve on the southwest side of the fish ladder was opened to draw down the water in the
upper cell,the bypass pipe valve was closed,then the 18-inch fish ladder valve was
closed.The 8-inch valve in the fish weir was opened to refill the upper cell from the
sediment basin.
The upper cell took about 1 hour to fill.The water level in the pond took about another
hour to reach the top of the fish weir and begin flowing into the fish ladder.
After flow had reestablished itself in the entire fish ladder the 8-inch valve in the overflow
weir was closed and the sediment basin resumed normal operation.
Note -The 8-and 18-inch valves had a small flow of water going through them after they
were closed.After 2 or 3 days most of the flow stopped.
Note -The 8-inch canal gate in the overflow weir was hard to close.The sliding gate valve
seemed to be off center and scraping along one side.With too much force the valve stem
bends and may eventually break.Use a hammer to tap the high side of the gate down and
the valve should slide easily.
