Nationwide Permit 6 Effective Date: March 19, 2012

(a) A statement that the authorized work 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; an
(c) The signature of the permittee certifying the completion of the work and mitigation.

31. 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 di
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 in the vicinity of the project, or to notify the Corps pursuant to general condition 20 that the
activity may have the potential to cause effects to historic properties, the permittee cannot begin the activity until

effec
33 CFR 330.4(f)) and/or Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation (see 33 CFR 330.4(g)) has been
completed. Also, work cannot begin under NWPs 21, 49, or 50 until the permittee has received written approval
from the Corps. 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

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 project

effects the project would cause, including the anticipated amount of loss of water of the United States expected to
result from the NWP activity, in acres, linear feet, or other appropriate unit of measure; 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. The description should be sufficiently detailed to allow the district engineer to determine that
the adverse effects of the project will be minimal and to determine the need for compensatory mitigation. Sketches
should be provided when necessary to show that the activity complies with the terms of the NWP. (Sketches usually
clarify the project 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);
(4) The PCN must include a delineation of wetlands, other special aquatic sites, and other waters, such as
lakes and ponds, and perennial, intermittent, and ephemeral 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 waters of the United States. Furthermore, the 45
day period will not start until the delineation has been submitted to or completed by the Corps, as appropriate;
