C7-7.9 DELAYS: The Cont:-actor shall reJeive no compensation

cor::pensation is claimed 2. ,,:ritten stater::ient thereof shell be
presentet by the Contractor to the Engineer and if by him
found correct shall be approved and referred by him to the
council for final approval or disapproval; and the action
thereon by the Council shall be final 2.nd binding. I: delay
is caused by specific orders given by the Engineers to stop
work, or by the performance of extra work, or by the failure
of the city to provide material or necessary instructions for
carrying on the work, then such delay will entitle the
contractor to a~ equivalent extension of time, his application
for which shall, however, be subject to the approval of the
city Council; and no such extension of time shall release the
Contractor or the surety on his performance bond fro~ all his
obligations hereunder which shall remain in full force until

D-67 REMOVAL AND DISPOSAL OF ASBESTOS CEMENT PIPE
A. It is the intent of the City of Fort Worth to comply with the requirements of the Asbestos
National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) found at 40 CFR
Part 61, Subpart M. This specification will establish procedures to be used by all
Excavators in the removal and disposal of asbestos cement pipe (ACP) in compliance
with NESHAP. Nothing in this specification shall be construed to void any provision of a
contract or other law, ordinance, regulation or policy whose requirements are more
stringent.
B. ACP is defined under NESHAP as a Category II , non-friable material in its intact state but
which may become friable upon removal, demolition and/or disposal. Consequently, if the
removal/ disposal process renders the ACP friable, it is regulated under the disposal
requirements of 40 CFR 61 .150. A NESHAP notification must be filed with the Texas
Department of Health . The notification must be filed at least ten days prior to removal of
the material. If it remains in its non -friable state, as defined by the NESHAP , it can be
disposed as a conventional construction waste. The Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) defines friable as material, when dry, which may be crumbled, pulverized or
reduced to powder by hand pressures.
C. The Generator of the hazardous material is responsible for the identification and proper
handling, transportation , and disposal of the material. Therefore , it is the policy of the City
of Fort Worth that the Excavator is the Generator regardless of whether the pipe is friable
or not.
D. It is the intent of the City of Fort Worth that all ACP shall be removed in such careful and
prudent manner that it remains intact and does not become friable . The Excavator is
02114107 SC-49
PART D -SPECIAL CONDITIONS
responsible to employ those means, methods, techniques and sequences to ensure this
result. ·
E. Compliance with all aspects of worker safety and health regulations including but not
limited to the OSHA Asbestos Standard is the responsibility of the Excavator. The City of
Fort Worth assumes no responsibility for compliance programs , which are the
responsibility of the Excavator. (Copy of forms attached)
F. The removal and disposal of ACP shall be subsidiary to the cost of installing the new pipe
unless otherwise stated or indicated on the project plans or contract documents .

PART DA -ADDITIONAL SPECIAL CONDITIONS
C. Lining
After the surface preparation and within 8 hours of surface preparation, the
interior of the pipe shall receive 40 mils nominal dry film thickness of Protecto
401. No lining shall take place when the substrate or ambient temperature is
below 40 degrees Fahrenheit. The surface also must be dry and dust free. If
flange pipe or fittings are included in the project, the lining shall not be used
on the face of the flange.
D. Coating of Bell Sockets and Spigot Ends
Due to the tolerances involved, the gasket area and spigot end up to 6
inches back from the end of the spigot end must be coated with 6 mils
nominal, 10 mils maximum using Protecto Joint Compound. The Joint
Compound shall be applied by brush to ensure coverage. Care should be
taken that the Joint Compound is smooth without excess buildup in the
gasket seat or on the spigot ends. Coating of the gasket seat and spigot
ends shall be done after the application of the lining.
E. Number of Coats
The number of coats of lining material applied shall be as recommended by
the lining manufacturer. However, in no case shall this material be applied
above the dry thickness per coat recommended by the lining manufacturer in
printed literature. The maximum or minimum time between coats shall be that
time recommended by the lining material manufacturer. To prevent
delamination between coats, no material shall be used for lining which
is not indefinitely recoatable with itself without roughening of the
surface.
F. Touch-Up & Repair
Protecto Joint Compound shall be used for touch-up or repair in accordance
with manufacturer's recommendations.
IV. Inspection and certification
A. Inspection
1. All ductile iron pipe and fitting linings shall be checked for thickness
using a magnetic film thickness gauge. The thickness testing shall be
done using the method outlined in SSPC-PA-2 Film Thickness Rating.
2. The interior lining of all pipe barrels and fittings shall be tested for
pinholes with a nondestructive 2,500 volt test. Any defects found shaU
be repaired prior to shipment.
3. Each pipe joint and fitting shall be marked with the date of application
of the lining system along with its numerical sequence of application
on that date and records maintained by the applicator of his work.
B. Certification
The pipe or fitting manufacturer must supply a certificate attesting to the fact
that the applicator met the requirements of this specification, and that the
material used was as specified.
V. Handling
11/02104 ASC-45
PART DA -ADDITIONAL SPECIAL CONDITIONS
Protecto 401 lined pipe and fittings must be handled only from the outside of the
pipe and fittings. No forks, chains, straps, hooks, etc. shall be placed inside the pipe
and fittings for lifting, positioning, or laying. The lined pipe shall not be dropped,
hammered, or allowed to strike fixed or hard objects whi.le being moved. Ductile iron
pipe should never be forced to grade by impact or hydraulic pressure since this may
. damage the lining.
VI. Procedures for sealing cut ends and repairing field damaged areas
of PROTECTO 401 lined pipe and fittings
1. Remove burrs caused by field cutting of ends or handling damage and smooth out
the edge of the lining if rough.
· 2. Remove all traces of oil, grease, asphalt, dust, dirt, etc.
11/02104
3. Remove any damaged lining caused by field cutting operations or handling and
clean any exposed metal by sanding or scraping. Sandblasting or power tool
cleaning roughening is also acceptable. It is recommended that any loose lining be
removed by chiseling, cutting, or scraping into well adhered lined area before
patching. Be sure to overlap at least 1" of lining in the area to be repaired.
4. With the area to be sealed or repaired absolutely clean and suitably roughened,
apply a coat of Protecto Joint Compound using the following procedure:
a. Mixing Procedure -The repair kit for Protecto 401 contains two small cans
of Protecto Joint Compound. Protecto Joint Compound is a two component
epoxy and the contents of the small container shall be mixed with the
contents of the large container. If less than the full contents of each can is to
be mixed, the material may be mixed using the mixing ratio printed on the
labels. After Part B is added to Part A, the mixture ~hall be thoroughly
agitated. All activated mat~rial must be used within one hour of mixing.
b. Application of Material -After the material has been thoroughly mixed, it can
be applied to the prepared surface by brush. Brushing is usually best due to
the fact that the areas to be repaired are usually small. Practices conducive
to a good coating are contained in the technical data sheet for Protecto Joint
Compound.
5. It is important to coat the entire freshly cut exposed metal surface of the cut pipe
end. To ensure proper sealing, overlap at least one inch of the lining with this repair
material.

Dear Ms. Elliot:
Please find attached a re -submission of a TxDOT permit previously approved.
The City of Fort Worth is going forward with this project after much delay. The
area of concern at I-820 and Plaza Circle has changed slightly from the originally
authorized permit. The bore length has been increased by 30 linear feet on the west
side of 1420 at Plaza Circle and there will no longer be need for a manhole -in the
southbound service road at this location. I have included the previous design plan
along with a revised design plan for your review.
Thank you again for your assistance and please do not hesitate to contact me should
you have any questions regarding this permit submission.

(A) GENERAL REQUIRII°iENTS
Pipelines crossing under surfaced roads and roads carrying traffic within limits
of highway right-of-way shall be placed by boring or tunneling, unless otherwise
specifically authorized by the Texas Department of Transportation.
Borings or tunnels shall .be placed at such depths below bottom of pavements as
to provide sufficient depth of soil above hole for supporting superimposed live
and dead loads and also prevent collapse of supporting soil between hole and
pavements due to any boring, tunneling., or casing jacking operations.
Boring and/or tunneling shall extend past roadway crown lines and outside of any
shoulders adjacent to pavements:
Pits excavated for boring or tunneling operations shall be located so that any
possible sloughing of sides of pit will not endanger shoulders or pavements and
so that barricades can be placed as specifie.' herein.
All operations and equipment relative to tunneling and boring shall be confined
to areas outside of roadway shoulders and away from edges of pavements by
suitable barricades. Barricades shall be maintained clearofshoulders at all
times except that in no case shall the clear distance between barricades. and
edge of pavement or face of curb be less than 8 feet.
BORING
Where material beneath pavement is sandy or unstable and will be subject to
caving, hole for casing shall be bored and cased simultaneously and bored
material removed through casing. Cutting face of auger or drill shall not
project more than 5 inches ahead of casing and no water shall be used in
connection with drilling.
Where material beneath pavement is stable and not subject to caving, hole for
casing may be bored first and casing inserted in hole immediately after -
completion of boring if permitted by the Texas Department of Transportation.
Water shall not be used in conjunction with drilling if it in any way causes
stable material to cave or become unstable.
(C) TUNNELING
While hole is being tunneled, casing shall be jacked into place as operations
progress except as hereinafter specified.
Where necessary to use sectionalized steel liner plates, each successive ring of
plates shall be placed in position and completely bolted into place as soon as
excavation is completed far enough ahead of completed casing to receive the next
ring.

NATIONWIDE PERMIT 12
Utility Line Activities
Effective Date: March 19, 2007
(NWP Final Notice, 72 FR 11182, para. 12)
Utility Line Activities. Activities required for the construction, maintenance, repair, and removal of utility lines
and associated facilities in waters of the United States, provided the activity does not result in the loss of greater
than Yz acre of waters of the United States.
Utility lines: This NWP authorizes the construction, maintenance, or repair of utility lines, including outfall and
intake structures, and the associated excavation, backfill, or bedding for the utility lines, in all waters of the United
States, provided there is no change in pre -construction contours. A "utility line" is defined as any pipe or pipeline
for the transportation of any gaseous, liquid, liquescent, or slurry substance, for any purpose, and any cable, line,
or wire for the transmission for any purpose of electrical energy, telephone, and telegraph messages, and radio
and television communication. The term 'utility line" does not include activities that drain a water of the United
States, such as drainage file or french drains, but it does apply to pipes conveying drainage from another area.
Material resulting from trench excavation may be temporarily sidecast into waters of the United States for no
more than three months, provided the material is not placed in such a manner that it is dispersed by currents or
other forces. The district engineer may extend the period of temporary side casting for no more than a total of 180
days, where appropriate. In wetlands, the top 6 to 12 inches of the trench should normally be backfilled with
topsoil from the trench. The trench cannot be constructed or backfilled in such a manner as to drain waters of the
United States (e.g., backfilling with extensive gravel layers, creating a french drain effect). Any exposed slopes
and stream banks must be stabilized immediately upon completion of the utility line crossing of each waterbody.
Utility line substations: This NWP authorizes the construction, maintenance, or expansion of substation
facilities associated with a power line or utility line in non -tidal waters of the United States, provided the activity, in
combination with all other activities included in one single and complete project, does not result in the loss of
greater than 1/2 acre of waters of the United States. This NWP does not authorize discharges into non -tidal
wetlands adjacent to tidal waters of the United States to construct, maintain, or expand substation facilities.
Foundations for overhead utility line towers, poles, and anchors: This NWP authorizes the construction or
maintenance of foundations for overhead utility line towers, poles, and anchors in all waters of the United States,
provided the foundations are the minimum size necessary and separate footings for each tower leg (rather than a
larger single pad) are used where feasible.
Foundations for overhead utility line towers, poles, and anchors: This NWP authorizes the construction or
maintenance of foundations for overhead utility line towers, poles, and anchors in all waters of the United States,
provided the foundations are the minimum size necessary and separate footings for each tower leg (rather than a
larger single pad) are used where feasible.
Access roads: This NWP authorizes the construction of access roads for the construction and maintenance of
utility lines, including overhead power lines and utility line substations, in non -tidal waters of the United States,
provided the total discharge from a single and complete project does not cause the loss of greater than 1/2-acre
of non -tidal waters of the United States. This NWP does not authorize discharges into non -tidal wetlands adjacent
to tidal waters for access roads. Access roads must be the minimum width necessary (see Note 2, below). Access
roads must be constructed so that the length of the road minimizes any adverse effects on waters of the United
States and must be as near as possible to pre -construction contours and elevations (e.g., at grade corduroy roads
or geotextile/gravel roads). Access roads constructed above pre -construction contours and elevations in waters of
the United States must be properly bridged or culverted to maintain surface flows.
This NWP may authorize utility lines in or affecting navigable waters of the United States even if there is no
associated discharge of dredged or fill material (See 33 CFR part 322). Overhead utility lines constructed over
section 10 waters and utility lines that are routed in or under section 10 waters without a discharge of dredged or
fill material require a section 10 permit.
This NWP also authorizes temporary structures, fills, and work necessary to conduct the utility line 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, 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. 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.
Notification: The permittee must submit a pre -construction notification to the district engineer prior to
commencing the activity if any of the following criteria are met:
(1) The activity involves mechanized land clearing in a forested wetland for the utility line right-of-way;
(2) a section 10 permit is required;
1
(3) the utility line in waters of the United States, excluding overhead lines, exceeds 500 feet;
(4) the utility line is placed within a jurisdictional area (i.e., water of the United States), and it runs parallel to a
stream bed that is within that jurisdictional area;
(5) discharges that result in the loss of greater than 1/10-acre of waters of the United States;
(6) permanent access roads are constructed above grade in waters of the United States for a distance of more
than 500 feet; or
(7) permanent access roads are constructed in waters of the United States with impervious materials. (See
general condition 27.) (Sections 10 and 404)
Note 1: Where the proposed utility line is constructed or installed in navigable waters of the United States (i.e.,
section 10 waters), copies of the pre -construction notification and NWP verification will be sent by the Corps to
the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Ocean Service (NOS), for charting the
utility line to protect navigation.
Note 2: Access roads used for both construction and maintenance may be authorized, provided they meet the
terms and conditions of this NWP. Access roads used solely for construction of the utility line must be removed
upon completion of the work, accordance with the requirements for temporary fills.
Note 3: Pipes or pipelines used to transport gaseous, liquid, liquescent, or slurry substances over navigable
waters of the United States are considered to be bridges, not utility lines, and may require a permit from the U.S.
Coast Guard pursuant to Section 9 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899. However, any discharges of dredged
or fill material into waters of the United States associated with such pipelines will require a section 404 permit
(see NWP 15)
NATIONWIDE PERMIT GENERAL CONDITIONS
General Conditions: The following general conditions must be followed in order for any authorization by a NWP to
be valid:
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 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. Culverts placed in streams must be installed to
maintain low flow conditions.
3. Spawning Areas. Activities in spawning areas during spawning seasons must be avoided to the maximum
extent practicable. Activities that result in the physical des#ruction (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.
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 ci 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 and
storm water management activities, 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
lowAow or noAow.
13. Removal of Temporary Fills. 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.
15. Wild and Scenic Rivers. No 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. Information on Wild and Scenic Rivers may be obtained from the appropriate
Federal land management agency in the area (e.g., National Park Service, U.S. Forest Service, Bureau of Land
Management, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service).
16. 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.
17. Endangered Species. (a) No activity is authorized under any NWP which is likely to jeopardize the continued
existence of a threatened authorized under any NWP which "may affect" a listed or endangered species or a
species proposed for such designation, as identified under the Federal Endangered Species Act (ESA), or which
will destroy or adversely modify the critical habitat of such species. No activity is species or critical habitat, unless
Section 7 consultation addressing the effects of the proposed activity has been completed.
(b) Federal agencies should follow their own procedures for complying with the requirements of the ESA.
Federal permittees must provide the district engineer with the appropriate documentation to demonstrate
compliance with those requirements.
(c) Non-federal permi#tees shall notify the district engineer if any listed species or designated critical habitat
might be affected or is in the vicinity of the project, or if the project is located in designated critical habitat, 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 designated critical habitat, the pre -construction notification must include the name(s) of the
endangered or threatened species that may be affected by the proposed work or that utilize the designated critical
habitat that may be affected by the proposed work. 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. In cases where the non -Federal applicant has identified listed species or critical habitat that might be
affected or is in the vicinity of the project, and has so notified the Corps, the applicant shall not begin work until
the Corps has provided notification the proposed activities will have no effect" on listed species or critical
habitat, or until Section 7 consultation has been completed.
(d) As a result of formal or informal consultation with the FWS or NMFS the district engineer may add
species -specific regional endangered species conditions to the NWPs.
(e) Authorization of an activity by a 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 U.S. FWS or the NMFS, both lethal and non-
lethal "takes" of protected species are in violation of the ESA. Information on the location of threatened and
endangered species and their critical habitat can be obtained directly from the offices of the U.S. FWS and NMFS
or their worldwide Web pages at http://www.fws.gov/ and http://www,noaa.gov/fiisheries.html respectively.
18. Historic Properties. (a) In cases where the district engineer determines that the activity may affect properties
listed, or eligible for listing, in the National Register of Historic Places, the activity is not authorized, 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. Federal permittees must provide the district engineer with the
appropriate documentation to demonstrate compliance with those requirements.
(c) Non-federal permittees must submit a pre -construction notification to the district engineer if the authorized
activity may have the potential to cause effects to any historic properties listed, 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 may be
affected by the proposed work 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 resources can be sought from the State Historic Preservation Officer or Tribal Historic
Preservation Officer, as appropriate, and the National Register of Historic Places (see 33 CFR 330.4(g)). The
district engineer shall make a reasonable and good faith effort to carry out appropriate identification efforts, which
may include background research, consultation, oral history interviews, sample field investigation, and field
survey. Based on the information submitted and these efforts, the district engineer shall determine whether the
proposed activity has the potential to cause an effect on the historic properties. Where the non -Federal applicant
has identified historic properties which the activity may have the potential to cause effects and 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 or that consultation under Section 106 of the NHPA has been completed.
(d) 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. Section 106 consultation is not
required when the Corps determines that the activity does not have the potential to cause effects on historic
properties (see 36 CFR 800.3(a)). If NHPA section 106 consultation is required and will occur, the district
engineer will notify the non -Federal applicant that he or she cannot begin work until Section 106 consultation is
completed.
(e) Prospective permittees should be aware that section 110k of the NHPA (16 U.S.C. 470h-2(k)) 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, explaining 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.
19. Designated Critical Resource Waters. Critical resource waters include, NOAA-designated marine
sanctuaries, National Estuarine Research Reserves, state natural heritage sites, and outstanding national
resource waters or other waters officially designated by a state as having particular environmental or ecological
significance and identified by the district engineer after notice and opportunity for public comment. The district
engineer may also designate additional critical resource waters after notice and opportunity for comment.
(a) Discharges of dredged or fill material into waters of the United States are not authorized by NWPs 7, 12,
147 16, 17, 213 29, 31, 35, 39, 40, 42, 43, 44, 49, and 50 for any activity within, or directly affecting, critical
resource waters, including wetlands adjacent to such waters.
(b) For NWPs 3, 83 10,137 15,187 19, 227 23, 25, 27, 28, 30, 33,
34, 36, 37, and 38, notification is required in accordance with general condition 27, for any activity proposed in the
designated critical resource waters including wetlands adjacent to those waters. The district engineer may
authorize activities under these NWPs only after it is determined that the impacts to the critical resource waters
will be no more than minimal.
20. Mitigation. The district engineer will consider the following factors when determining appropriate and
practicable mitigation necessary to ensure that adverse effects on the aquatic environment are 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) will be required to
the extent necessary to ensure that the adverse effects to the aquatic environment are 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 some
other form of mitigation would be more environmentally appropriate and provides a project -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 minimal adverse effects on the aquatic environment. Since the likelihood of success is greater and the impacts
to potentially valuable uplands are reduced, wetland restoration should be the first compensatory mitigation option
considered.
(d) For losses of streams or other open waters that require pre -construction notification, the district engineer
may require compensatory mitigation, such as stream restoration, to ensure that the activity results in minimal
adverse effects on the aquatic environment.
(e) 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 project
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 a project already meeting the established acreage limits also satisfies the
minimal impact requirement associated with the NWPs.
(0 Compensatory mitigation plans for projects in or near streams or other open waters will normally include a
requirement for the establishment, maintenance, and legal protection (e.g., conservation easements) of riparian
areas next to open waters. In some cases, riparian areas may be the only compensatory mitigation required.
Riparian areas should consist of native species. 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. 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 compensatory mitigation, the district engineer may waive
or reduce the requirement to provide wetland compensatory mitigation for wetland losses.
(g) Permittees may propose the use of mitigation banks, inAeu fee arrangements or separate activity -specific
compensatory mitigation. In all cases, the mitigation provisions will specify the party responsible for accomplishing
and/or complying with the mitigation plan.
(h) Where certain functions and services of waters of the United States are permanently adversely affected,
such as the conversion of 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 effects of the project to the
minimal level.
21. Water Quality, Where States and authorized Tribes, or EPA where applicable, have not previously certified
compliance of an NWP with CWA Section 401, individual 401 Water Quality Certification must be obtained or
waived (see 33 CFR 330.4(c)). The district engineer or State or Tribe may require additional water quality
management measures to ensure that the authorized activity does not result in more than minimal degradation of
water quality.
22. Coastal Zone Management. 1n coastal states where an NWP has not previously received a state coastal
zone management consistency concurrence, an individual state coastal zone management consistency
5
concurrence must be obtained, or a presumption of concurrence must occur (see 33 CFR 330.4(d)). The district
engineer or a State may require additional measures to ensure that the authorized activity is consistent with state
coastal zone management requirements.
23. 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 section 401 Water Quality Certification, or by the state in
its Coastal Zone Management Act consistency determination.
24. Use of Multiple Nationwide Permits. The use of more than one NWP for a single and complete project is
prohibited, except when the acreage loss of waters of the United States authorized by the NWPs does not 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.
25. Transfer of Nationwide Permit Verifications. If the permittee sells the property associated with the
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)
26. Compliance Certification. Each permittee who received the NWP verification from the Corps must submit a
signed certification regarding the completed work and any required gation. The certification form must be
forwarded by the Corps with the NWP verification letter and will include:
(a) A statement that the authorized work was done in accordance with the NWP authorization, including any
general or specific conditions;
(b) A statement that any required mitigation was completed in accordance with the permit conditions; and
(c) The signature of the permittee certifying the completion of the work and mitigation.
27. Pre -Construction Notification. (a) Timing. Where required by the terms of the NWP, the prospective
permittee must notify the district engineer by submitting apre-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, as
a general rule, 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) Forty-five 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 17 that listed species or critical habitat
might affected or in the vicinity of the project, or to notify the Corps pursuant to general condition 18 that the
activity may have the potential to cause effects to historic properties, the permittee cannot begin the activity until
receiving written notification from the Corps that 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 (see 33 CFR 330.4(g)) is 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 cannot begin
0
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 project;
(3) A description of the proposed project; the project's purpose; direct and indirect adverse environmental
effects the project would cause; 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
result in a quicker decision.);
(4) The PCN must include a delineation of special aquatic sites and other waters of the United States 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 of the United
States, 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, where appropriate;
(5) If the proposed activity will result in the loss of greater than 1/10 acre of wetlands and a PCN is
required, the prospective permittee must submit a statement describing how the mitigation requirement will be
satisfied. As an alternative, the prospective permittee may submit a conceptual or detailed mitigation plan.
(6) If any listed species or designated critical habitat might be affected or is in the vicinity of the project, or
if the project is located in designated critical habitat, for non -Federal applicants the PCN must include the name(s)
of those endangered or threatened species that might be affected by the proposed work or utilize the designated
critical habitat that may be affected by the proposed work. Federal applicants must provide documentation
demonstrating compliance with the Endangered Species Act; and
(7) For an activity that may affect a historic property listed on, determined to be eligible for listing on, or
potentially eligible for listing on, the National Register of Historic Places, for non -Federal applicants the PCN must
state which historic property may be affected by the proposed work or include a vicinity map indicating the
location of the historic property. Federal applicants must provide documentation demonstrating compliance with
Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act.
(c) Form of Pre -Construction Notification: The standard individual permit application form (Form ENG 4345)
may be used, but the completed application form must clearly indicate that it is a PCN and must include all of the
information required in paragraphs (b)(1) through (7) of this general condition. A letter containing the required
information may also be used.
(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 project's adverse environmental effects to a minimal level.
(2) For all NWP 48 activities requiring pre -construction notification and for other NWP activities requiring
pre -construction notification to the district engineer that result in the loss of greater than 1/2-acre of waters of the
United States, the district engineer will immediately provide (e.g., via facsimile transmission, overnight mail, or
other expeditious manner) a copy of the PCN to the appropriate Federal or state offices (U.S. FWS, state natural
resource or water quality agency, EPA, State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO) or Tribal Historic Preservation
Office (THPO), and, if appropriate, the NMFS). With the exception of NWP 37, these agencies will then have 10
calendar days from the date the material is transmitted to telephone or fax the district engineer notice that they
intend to provide substantive, site -specific comments. 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, but 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.
7
(3) 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.
(4) Applicants are encouraged to provide the Corps multiple copies of pre -construction notifications to
expedite agency coordination.
(5) For NWP 48 activities that require reporting, the district engineer will provide a copy of each report
within 10 calendar days of receipt to the appropriate regional office of the NMFS.
(e) District Engineer's Decision: In reviewing the PCN for the proposed activity, the district engineer will
determine whether the activity authorized by the NWP will result in more than minimal individual or cumulative
adverse environmental effects or may be contrary to the public interest. If the proposed activity requires a PCN
and will result in a loss of greater than 1/10 acre of wetlands, the prospective permittee should submit a mitigation
proposal with the PCN. Applicants may also propose compensatory mitigation for projects with smaller impacts.
The district engineer will consider any proposed compensatory mitigation the applicant has included in the
proposal in determining whether the net adverse environmental effects to the aquatic environment of the
proposed work are minimal. The compensatory mitigation proposal may be either conceptual or detailed. If the
district engineer determines that the activity complies with the terms and conditions of the NWP and that the
adverse effects on the aquatic environment are minimal, after considering mitigation, the district engineer will
notify the permittee and include any conditions the district engineer deems necessary. The district engineer must
approve any compensatory mitigation proposal before the permittee commences work. If the prospective
permittee elects to submit a compensatory mitigation plan with the PCN, the district engineer will expeditiously
review the proposed compensatory mitigation plan. The district engineer must review the plan within 45 calendar
days of receiving a complete PCN and determine whether the proposed mitigation would ensure no more than
minimal adverse effects on the aquatic environment. If the net adverse effects of the project on the aquatic
environment (after consideration of the compensatory mitigation proposal) are determined by the district engineer
to be minimal, the district engineer will provide a timely written response to the applicant. The response will state
that the project can proceed under the terms and conditions of the NWP. If the district engineer determines that
the adverse effects of the proposed work are more than minimal, then the district engineer will notify the applicant
either:
(1) That the project does not qualify for authorization under the NWP and instruct the applicant on the
procedures to seek authorization under an individual permit;
(2) that the project is authorized under the NWP subject to the applicant's submission of a mitigation plan
that would reduce the adverse effects on the aquatic environment to the minimal level; or
(3) that the project is authorized under the NWP with specific modifications or conditions. Where the
district engineer determines that mitigation is required to ensure no more than minimal adverse effects occur to
the aquatic environment, the activity will be authorized within the 45-day PCN period. The authorization will
include the necessary conceptual or specific mitigation or a requirement that the applicant submit a mitigation
plan that would reduce the adverse effects on the aquatic environment to the minimal level. When mitigation is
required, no work in waters of the United States may occur until the district engineer has approved a specific
mitigation plan.
28. 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.
Further Information
1. District Engineers have authority to determine if an activity complies with the terms and conditions of an NWP_
2. NWPs do not obviate the need to obtain other federal, state, or local permits, approvals, or authorizations
required by law.
3. NWPs do not grant any property rights or exclusive privileges.
4. NWPs do not authorize any injury to the property or rights of others.
5. NWPs do not authorize interference with any existing or proposed Federal project.
Definitions
Best management practices (BMPs): Policies, practices, procedures, or structures implemented to mitigate the
adverse environmental effects on surface water quality resulting from development. BMPs are categorized as
structural or non-structural.
Compensatory mitigation: The restoration, establishment (creation), enhancement, or preservation of aquatic
resources for the purpose of compensating for unavoidable adverse impacts which remain after all appropriate
and practicable avoidance and minimization has been achieved.
Currently serviceable: Useable as is or with some maintenance, but not so degraded as to essentially require
reconstruction.
Discharge: The term "discharge" means any discharge of dredged or fill material.
Enhancement: The manipulation of the physical, chemical, or biological characteristics of an aquatic resource to
heighten, intensify, or improve a specific aquatic resource function(s). Enhancement results in the gain of selected
aquatic resource function(s), but may also lead to a decline in other aquatic resource function(s). Enhancement
does not result in a gain in aquatic resource area.
Ephemeral stream: An ephemeral stream has flowing water only during, and for a short duration after,
precipitation events in a typical year. Ephemeral stream beds are located above the water table year-round.
Groundwater is not a source of water for the stream. Runoff from rainfall is the primary source of water for stream
flow.
Establishment (creation): The manipulation of the physical, chemical, or biological characteristics present to
develop an aquatic resource that did not previously exist at an upland site. Establishment results in a gain in
aquatic resource area.
Historic Property: Any prehistoric or historic district, site (including archaeological site), building, structure, or
other object included in, or eligible for inclusion in, the National Register of Historic Places maintained by the
Secretary of the Interior. This term includes artifacts, records, and remains that are related to and located within
such properties. The term includes properties of traditional religious and cultural importance to an Indian tribe or
Native Hawaiian organization and that meet the National Register criteria (36 CFR Part 60).
Independent utility: A test to determine what constitutes a single and complete project in the Corps regulatory
program. A project is considered to have independent utility if it would be constructed absent the construction of
other projects in the project area. Portions of a multi -phase project that depend upon other phases of the project
do not have independent utility. Phases of a project that would be constructed even if the other phases were not
built can be considered as separate single and complete projects with independent utility.
Intermittent stream: An intermittent stream has flowing water during certain times of the year, when groundwater
provides water for stream flow. During dry periods, intermittent streams may not have flowing water. Runoff from
rainfall is a supplemental source of water for stream flow.
Loss of waters of the United States: Waters of the United States that are permanently adversely affected by
filling, flooding, excavation, or drainage because of the regulated activity. Permanent adverse effects include
permanent discharges of dredged or fill material that change an aquatic area to dry land, increase the bottom
elevation of a waterbody, or change the use of a waterbody. The acreage of loss of waters of the United States is
a threshold measurement of the impact to jurisdictional waters for determining whether a project may qualify for
an NWP; it is not a net threshold that is calculated after considering compensatory mitigation that may be used to
offset losses of aquatic functions and services. The loss of stream bed includes the linear feet of stream bed that
is filled or excavated. Waters of the United States temporarily filled, flooded, excavated, or drained, but restored
to pre -construction contours and elevations after construction, are not included in the measurement of loss of
waters of the United States. Impacts resulting from activities eligible for exemptions under Section 404(f) of the
Clean Water Act are not considered when calculating the loss of waters of the United States.
Non -tidal wetland: A non -tidal wetland is a wetland that is not subject to the ebb and flow of tidal waters. The
definition of a wetland can be found at 33 CFR 328.3(b). Non -tidal wetlands contiguous to tidal waters are located
landward of the high tide line (i.e., spring high tide line).
Open water: For purposes of the NWPs, an open -water is any area that in a year with normal patterns of
precipitation has water flowing or standing above ground to the extent that an ordinary high water mark can be
determined. Aquatic vegetation within the area of standing or flowing water is either non -emergent, sparse, or
absent. Vegetated shallows are considered to be open waters. Examples of "open waters" include rivers,
streams, lakes, and ponds.
Ordinary High Water Mark: An ordinary high water mark is a line on the shore established by the fluctuations of
water and indicated by physical characteristics, or by other appropriate means that consider the characteristics of
the surrounding areas (see 33 CFR 328.3(e)).
Perennial stream: A perennial stream has flowing water year-round during a typical year. The water table is
located above the stream bed for most of the year. Groundwater is the primary source of water for stream flow.
Runoff from rainfall is a supplemental source of water for stream flow.
Practicable: Available and capable of being done after taking into consideration cost, existing technology, and
logistics in light of overall project purposes.
Pre -construction notification: A request submitted by the project proponent to the Corps for confirmation that a
particular activity is authorized by nationwide permit. The request may be a permit application, letter, or similar
document that includes information about the proposed work and its anticipated environmental effects. Pre -
construction notification may be required by the terms and conditions of a nationwide permit, or by regional
conditions. A pre -construction notification may be voluntarily submitted in cases where pre -construction
notification is not required and the project proponent wants confirmation that the activity is authorized by
nationwide permit.
Preservation: The removal of a threat to, or preventing the decline of, aquatic resources by an action in or near
those aquatic resources. This term includes activities commonly associated with the protection and maintenance
of aquatic resources through the implementation of appropriate legal and physical mechanisms. Preservation
does not result in a gain of aquatic resource area or functions.
Re-establishment: The manipulation of the physical, chemical, or biological characteristics of a site with the goal
of returning natural/historic functions to a former aquatic resource. Re-establishment results in rebuilding a former
aquatic resource and results in a gain in aquatic resource area.
Rehabilitation: The manipulation of the physical, chemical, or biological characteristics of a site with the goal of
repairing natural/historic functions to a degraded aquatic resource. Rehabilitation results in a gain in aquatic
resource function, but does not result in a gain in aquatic resource area.
Restoration: The manipulation of the physical, chemical, or biological characteristics of a site with the goal of
returning natural/historic functions to a former or degraded aquatic resource. For the purpose of tracking net gains
in aquatic resource area, restoration is divided into two categories: Re-establishment and rehabilitation.
Riffle and pool complex: Riffle and pool complexes are special aquatic sites under the 404(b)(1) Guidelines.
Riffle and pool complexes sometimes characterize steep gradient sections of streams. Such stream sections are
recognizable by their hydraulic characteristics. The rapid movement of water over a course substrate in riffles
results in a rough flow, a turbulent surface, and high dissolved oxygen levels in the water. Pools are deeper areas
associated with riffles. A slower stream velocity, a streaming flow, a smooth surface, and a finer substrate
characterize pools.
Riparian areas: Riparian areas are lands adjacent to streams, lakes, and estuarine -marine shorelines. Riparian
areas are transitional between terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, through which surface and subsurface
hydrology connects waterbodies with their adjacent uplands. Riparian areas provide a variety of ecological
functions and services and help improve or maintain local water quality. (See general condition 20.)
Shellfish seeding: The placement of shellfish seed and/or suitable substrate to increase shellfish production.
Shellfish seed consists of immature individual shellfish or individual shellfish attached to shells or shell fragments
(i.e., spat on shell). Suitable substrate may consist of shellfish shells, shell fragments, or other appropriate
materials placed into waters for shellfish habitat.
Single and complete project: The term "single and complete project" is defined at 33 CFR 330.2(i) as the total
project proposed or accomplished by one owner/developer or partnership or other association of
owners/developers. A single and complete project must have independent utility (see definition). For linear
projects, a "single and complete project' is all crossings of a single water of the United States (i.e., a single
waterbody) at a specific location. For linear projects crossing a single waterbody several times at separate and
distant locations, each crossing is considered a single and complete project. However, individual channels in a
braided stream or river, or individual arms of a large, irregularly shaped wetland or lake, etc., are not separate
waterbodies, and crossings of such features cannot be considered separately.
Stormwater management: Stormwater management is the mechanism for controlling stormwater runoff for the
purposes of reducing downstream erosion, water quality degradation, and flooding and mitigating the adverse
effects of changes in land use on the aquatic environment.
Stormwater management facilities: Stormwater management facilities are those facilities, including but not
limited to, stormwater retention and detention ponds and best management practices, which retain water for a
period of time to control runoff and/or improve the quality (Le., by reducing the concentration of nutrients,
sediments, hazardous substances and other pollutants) of stormwater runoff.
Stream bed: The substrate of the stream channel between the ordinary high water marks. The substrate may be
bedrock or inorganic particles that range in size from clay to boulders. Wetlands contiguous to the stream bed, but
outside of the ordinary high water marks, are not considered part of the stream bed.
Stream channelization: The manipulation of a stream's course, condition, capacity, or location that causes more
than minimal interruption of normal stream processes. A channelized stream remains a water of the United
States.
Structure: An object that is arranged in a definite pattern of organization. Examples of structures include, without
limitation, any pier, boat dock, boat ramp, wharf, dolphin, weir, boom, breakwater, bulkhead, revetment, riprap,
jetty, artificial island, artificial reef, permanent mooring structure, power transmission line, permanently moored
floating vessel, piling, aid to navigation, or any other manmade obstacle or obstruction.
Tidal wetland: A tidal wetland is a wetland (Le., water of the United States) that is inundated by tidal waters. The
definitions of a wetland and tidal waters can be found at 33 CFR 328.3(b) and 33 CFR 328.3(f), respectively. Tidal
10
waters rise and fall in a predictable and measurable rhythm or cycle due to the gravitational pulls of the moon and
sun. Tidal waters end where the rise and fall of the water surface can no longer be practically measured in a
predictable rhythm due to masking by other waters, wind, or other effects. Tidal wetlands are located channelward
of the high tide line, which is defined at 33 CFR 328.3(d).
Vegetated shallows: Vegetated shallows are special aquatic sites under the 404(b)(1) Guidelines. They are
areas that are, permanently inundated and under normal circumstances have rooted aquatic vegetation, such as
seagrasses in marine and estuarine systems and a variety of vascular rooted plants in freshwater systems.
Waterbody: For purposes of the NWPs, a waterbody is a jurisdictional water of the United States that, during a
year with normal patterns of precipitation, has water flowing or standing above ground to the extent that an
ordinary high water mark (OHWM) or other indicators of jurisdiction can be determined, as well as any wetland
area (see 33 CFR 328.3(b)). If a jurisdictional wetland is adjacent --meaning bordering, contiguous, or
neighboring-4o a jurisdictional waterbody displaying an OHWM or other indicators of jurisdiction, that waterbody
and its adjacent wetlands are considered together as a single aquatic unit (see 33 CFR 328.4(c)(2)). Examples of
"waterbodies" include streams, rivers, lakes, ponds, and wetlands.

Government Code 2252.002 provides that, in order to be awarded a contract as low bidder, a non-
resident bidder must bid projects for construction, improvements, supplies or services in Texas at

bidder would be required to underbid a non-resident bidder in order to obtain a comparable
contract in the state in which the non-resident 's principal place of business is located. A non-
resident bidder is a contractor whose corporate offices or principal place of business is outside of
the state of Texas. This requirement does not apply to a contract involving Federal funds. The
appropriate blanks in Section A must be filled out by all out-of-state or non-resident bidders in
order for your bid to meet specifications. The failure of out-of-state or non-resident contractors to
do so will automatically disqualify that bidder. Resident bidders must check the blank in Section
B .
