15. Multiple Use of Nationwide Permits. In any case where any NWP number 12
through 40 is combined with any other NWP 12 through 40, as part of a single and
complete project, the permittee must notify the District Engineer in accordance with
paragraphs a, b, and c on the "Notification" General Condition number 13. Any NWP
number 1 through 11 may be combined with any other NWP without notification to the
Corps, unless notification is otherwise required by the terms of the NWPs. As provided at
33 CFR 330.6(c) two or more different NWPs can be combined to authorize a single and
complete project. However, the same NWP cannot be used more than once for a single and
complete project.
B. SECTION 404 ONLY CONDITIONS: In addition to the General Conditions, the
following conditions apply only to activities that involve the discharge of dredged or fill
material into waters of the United States, and must be followed in order for authorization by
the Nationwide Permits to be valid:
1. Water Supply Intakes. No discharge of dredged or fill material may occur in the
proximity of a public water supply intake except where the discharge is for repair of the
public water supply intake structures or adjacent bank stabilization.
2. Shellfish Production: No discharge of dredged or fill material may occur in
areas of concentrated shellfish production, unless the discharge is directly related to a
shellfish harvesting activity authorized by NWP 4.
3. Suitable Material. No discharge of dredged or fill material may consist of
unsuitable material (e.g., trash, debris, car bodies, asphalt, etc.,) and material discharged
must be free from toxic pollutants in toxic amounts (see section 307 of the Clean Water
Act).
4. Mitigation: Discharges of dredged or fill material into waters of the United
States must be minimized or avoided to the maximum extent practicable at the project site
(i.e., on-site), unless the District Engineer approves a compensation plan that the District
Engineer determines is more beneficial to the environment than on-site minimization or
avoidance measures.
5. Spawning Areas. Discharges in spawning areas during spawning seasons must be
avoided to the maximum extent practicable.
6. Obstruction of High Flows: To the maximum extent practicable, discharges must
not permanently restrict or impede the passage of normal or expected high flows or cause
the relocation of the water (unless the primary purpose of the fill is to impound waters).
7. Adverse Effects From Impoundments. If the discharge creates an impoundment
of water, adverse effects on the aquatic system caused by the accelerated passage of water
and/or the restriction of its flow shall be minimized to the maximum extent practicable.
8. Waterfowl Breeding Areas: Discharges into breeding areas for migratory
waterfowl must be avoided to the maximum extent practicable.
9. Removal of Temporary Fills: Any temporary fills must be removed in their
entirety and the affected areas returned to their preexisting elevation.
