Your signature will certify that you completed the work in accordance with this permit, including the general and the special conditions, and that any required mitigation was completed in accordance with the permit conditions.

b. (Activities occurring in navigable waters under Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899 only). 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.

c. If the work, authorized by this permit, requires 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 federally authorized project, the prospective permittee must submit a PCN as outlined on the first page of this permit. An activity that requires a Section 408 determination is not authorized by GP-41 until the Kansas City District issues the Section 408 authorization to alter, occupy, or use the Corps of Engineers project and the district engineer issues a written GP-41 verification.

d. If any part of the authorized work is performed by a contractor, before starting work you must discuss the terms and conditions of this permit with the contractor; and, you must give a copy of this entire permit to the contractor.

e. You must contact the Corps if any work is proposed in areas of listed sensitive species or in special status waters. The list of sensitive species in Missouri can be found at:

http://www.nwk.usace.army.mil/Portals/29/docs/regulatory/nationwidepermits/2017/MORC7AquaticSpecies.pdf.

The list of special status waters in Kansas, requiring notification can be found at:

http://www.nwk.usace.army.mil/Portals/29/docs/regulatory/nationwidepermits/2017/KSRC6DesignatedWaters.pdf.

f. You must employ measures to prevent spilled fuels, lubricants, excessive suspended solids including dredged material, and/or wet concrete from entering the waters of the United States and formulate a contingency plan to be effective in the event of a spill.

g. You must use clean, uncontaminated materials for fill in order to minimize excessive turbidity by leaching of fines, as well as to preclude the entrance of deleterious and/or toxic materials into the waters of the United States by natural runoff or by leaching. Use of small aggregate material less than 20 pounds per aggregate, such as creek gravel, for stabilization and erosion control is prohibited.

h. You must excavate or fill in the watercourse so as to minimize increases in suspended solids and turbidity which may degrade water quality and damage aquatic life outside the immediate area of operation. Activities should be conducted during low water periods and must be conducted outside major spawning season for fish, unless a waiver is obtained from the Corps of Engineers. The list of waters with seasonal spawning restrictions in Missouri can be found at:

http://www.nwk.usace.army.mil/Portals/29/docs/regulatory/nationwidepermits/2017/MORC2SpawningList.pdf.

NWK GP-41 Special Conditions cont.:

i. You must use the stream crossing guidelines for any temporary stream crossing constructed in a regulated waterway. The guidelines, for Missouri can be found at:

http://www.nwk.usace.army.mil/Portals/29/docs/regulatory/nationwidepermits/2017/MORC1Streams.pdf. The stream crossing guidelines for Kansas can be found at:

http://www.nwk.usace.army.mil/Portals/29/docs/regulatory/nationwidepermits/2017/KSRC1Streams.pdf. Stream crossings and use of construction machinery in waterways should be limited to the minimum extent necessary.

j. You must immediately remove and properly dispose of all debris during every phase of the project in order to prevent the accumulation of unsightly, deleterious and/or toxic materials in or near the water body. All construction debris must be disposed of in an upland site, outside the floodplain, and in such a manner that it cannot enter into a waterway or into a wetland.

k. You must store all construction materials, equipment, and/or petroleum products, when not in use, above anticipated high water levels.

l. You must restrict the clearing of timber and other vegetation to the absolute minimum required to accomplish the work. You must avoid the removal of mature trees to prevent potential impacts to bald eagle roost sites. If the work is adjacent to an active eagle nest, you must contact the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to determine if an eagle permit is needed. Work should be limited to one side of the channel only. However, work from both sides of the channel is permitted if it is demonstrated that it results in minimizing tree clearing. Vegetated riparian buffer areas should be included along both sides of any channel restoration project. All wooded areas cleared for site access must be allowed to return to forested habitat. You must contact the Corps of Engineers (PCN) prior to any timber clearing.

m. Upon completion of earthwork operations, you must seed, replant or otherwise protect from erosion all fills in the water or on shore, and other areas on shore disturbed during construction. All plant material, including seed mixes, should be composed of native species. If seeding does not successfully stabilize the disturbed soil areas by the end of the first growing season, you must implement alternate measures, such as placing riprap, slope terracing with untreated railroad ties, gabions or concrete blocks, or additional vegetative plantings, to protect the disturbed areas from further erosion. Clearing, grading, and replanting should be planned and timed so that only the smallest area is in a bare soil condition. You must contact the Corps of Engineers prior to beginning work on any additional erosion control measures in order for the Corps to determine if additional authorization is required.

n. You must dispose of excess concrete and wash water from concrete trucks and other concrete mixing equipment in an upland area above the ordinary high water mark and at a location where the concrete and wash water cannot enter the water body or an adjacent wetland area.

o. You must not dispose of any construction debris or waste materials below the ordinary high water mark of any water body, in a wetland area, or at any location where the materials could be introduced into the water body or an adjacent wetland as a result of runoff, flooding, wind, or other natural forces.

p. You must use only graded rock, quarry-run rock and/or clean concrete rubble for riprap. The material must be reasonably well graded, consisting of pieces varying in size from 20 pounds up to and including at least 150 pound pieces. Generally, the maximum weight of any piece should not be more than 500 pounds. Gravel and dirt should not exceed 15 percent of the total fill volume. If you use concrete rubble, you must break all large slabs to conform to the well graded requirement, and remove all exposed reinforcement rods, trash, asphalt, and other extraneous materials before you place the concrete rubble in the waters of the United States. Size and grade http://www.nwk.usace.army.mil/Portals/29/docs/regulatory/nationwidepermits/2017/MORC1Streams.pdf http://www.nwk.usace.army.mil/Portals/29/docs/regulatory/nationwidepermits/2017/KSRC1Streams.pdf http://www.nwk.usace.army.mil/Portals/29/docs/regulatory/nationwidepermits/2017/KSRC1Streams.pdf requirements can be changed provided approval is received from the Corps' Regulatory Branch prior to placement. Grouting the riprap material is prohibited.

q. You must completely remove all temporary fills, including sand bags (to the extent practicable), in the waters of the United States within 30 days of the end of the flood emergency. If sand bags are needed for a longer duration until permanent repairs are made, you must request a waiver of this condition in writing.

r. You must avoid impacts to wetlands to the fullest extent practicable. When wetlands impacts are unavoidable, borrow site selection will be based on the following order of preference: upland (non-wetland) sources, areas riverward of the levee previously used for borrow, currently farmed prior converted cropland, farmed wetlands, or other authorized excavation sites. You must mitigate for all unavoidable proposed wetland excavation or fill activities authorized by this permit. You must develop mitigation plans on a case-by-case basis which must be approved by the Corps. This permit does not authorize actions designed to drain or otherwise convert wetlands to other uses, nor actions where a practicable alternative to impacting wetlands is available unless the Corps of Engineers, in consultation with other resource agencies, determine that sediment removal from existing wetlands will restore wetland functions and create valued habitat diversity. All borrow areas should have 5:1 horizontal to vertical side slopes and the water depth should be three feet deep or less under normal circumstances.

s. You must place all fills and structures in waterways such that they do not result in stream channel constriction, they do not cause redirection of flows in such a way as to cause upstream or downstream erosion, and/or they do not restrict aquatic organism movement, especially during periods of low flow. Channelization projects or shortening of waterways, other than restoration of creek channels to pre-flood alignment, are not authorized by this permit.

t. No activity is authorized under this general permit which is likely to adversely affect a threatened or endangered species or a species proposed for such designation, as identified under the Federal Endangered Species Act, or which is likely to destroy or adversely modify critical habitat of such species. See Appendix II, paragraph No. 1 for permitting requirements if these species are likely to be present or their habitat would be adversely modified. A list of T&E species in Missouri can be found at:

http://ecos.fws.gov/tess_public/pub/stateListingAndOccurrenceIndividual.jsp?state=MO. Additional information, for Missouri, can be found at:

http://www.nwk.usace.army.mil/Portals/29/docs/regulatory/nationwidepermits/2017/MORC7AquaticSpecies.pdf. A list of T&E Species in Kansas can be found at:

http://www.nwk.usace.army.mil/Portals/29/docs/regulatory/nationwidepermits/2017/KSRC6DesignatedWaters.pdf.

Additionally, any work within the identified stream reaches, highlighted in Appendix III, requires a PCN to the Corps of Engineers.

u. You must avoid activity in the proximity of a property listed in or eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places unless, after coordination with the Corps and the State Historic Preservation Office of the affected state and/or the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation, a determination of "no effect" or "no adverse effect" is made in accordance with criteria established by 36 CFR 800. If an inadvertent discovery of any cultural or archaeological resource occurs during construction activities you must immediately stop work and contact this office and you must suspend work in the area until a determination of eligibility for listing in the National Register of Historic Places is determined and any necessary consultation under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act is completed. In the case of discovering human remains, you must immediately stop work and contact local law enforcement and you must contact the Missouri Department of Natural Resources, Historic Preservation Office at 573-751-7858.

v. You must NOT undertake any activity that results in a new structure or replacement of a previously authorized structure that increases the scope or the design of the original structure. Small changes that do not affect elevations, such as the reconstruction of a levee around a scour hole at pre-existing elevations, that do not convert wetland to upland (non-wetland) or a different wetland use beyond what is unavoidable such as to go around a scour hole, may be authorized upon notification to the Corps. Levee breach repairs constructed on new alignments must be setback farther from the stream channel than the original alignment.

w. You must contact the Missouri Department of Natural Resources, Water Protection Program, P.O. Box 176, Jefferson City, Missouri 65102-0176, or the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, Bureau of Water, Curtis State Office Building, 1000 Southwest Jackson, Topeka, Kansas 66612, in order to determine the need for a state permit for land disturbance, return water, or other activities that normally require such permits. Use of GP-41 shall not be construed or interpreted to imply that the requirements for all other federal, state, and/or local permits are replaced or superseded by this permit.

Best management practices should be used to reduce the risk of transferring invasive plant and animal species to or from the project site. Best management practices can be found at: http://www.invasivespeciesinfo.gov/toolkit/prevention.shtml. The following best management practice can help prevent the spread of these species. Clean and certified weed-free seed should be used for plantings.

Equipment brought on the project site should be washed to remove dirt, seeds and plant parts. If the equipment has been used in a body of water in the last 30 days it can be washed at a commercial car wash or dried for five or more days before using the equipment in another body of water. In addition, before transporting equipment from the project site all water, mud, plants and animals should be removed. Waters that the zebra mussel is known to inhabit in Kansas and in Missouri can be found at the following website: http://nas.er.usgs.gov/queries/zmbyst.asp.

APPENDIX II

CORPS’ REVIEW PROCEDURES FOR SECTION 7 CONSULTATION AND RESULTING

AUTHORIZATION BY GENERAL PERMIT NWK-GP-41

1. ENDANGERED SPECIES CONSULTATION. The repair activity must not be located in area containing potential habitat for federally listed species unless, following Endangered Species Act Section 7 consultation with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), a “not likely to adversely affect” determination is agreed upon between the Corps and the Service. If the proposed activity authorized under this permit is located in any area potentially supporting federally listed species or designated critical habitat, the following conditions must be met and will be coordinated by the appropriate Corps District: The Corps will coordinate with the Service to investigate potential species occurrence via the Service’s Information for Planning and Conservation (IPaC) website at https://ecos.fws.gov/ipac. For each species on the Service’s Official Species List, an effects determination must be made by the Corps. Concurrence from the Service must be obtained for “may affect” determinations, however “no effect” determinations do not require concurrence from the Service.

a. As conditioned under the GP, additional project specific conditions must be imposed if, through informal consultation between the Service and the Corps, they are determined to be necessary to avoid the likelihood of adverse effects to listed species or designated critical habitat.

b. In the event that the likelihood of adverse effects to listed species or designated critical habitat cannot be avoided, GP authorization will not be provided until such time as: i) formal consultation between the Service and the Corps is completed; ii) a non-jeopardy Biological Opinion is issued; and iii) the terms and conditions of any associated Incidental Take Statement are incorporated as enforceable conditions to the project authorization under

GP-41.

c. Conference via early interagency cooperation may also be necessary for species expected to become federally listed during the permit period. Conferences are required for proposed federal actions likely to jeopardize proposed species or destroy or adversely modify proposed critical habitat.

2. PROJECT DOCUMENTATION AND COMPLIANCE. The proposed repair activities must be documented by the project proponent and provided to the Corps of Engineers for review. If the repair project contains multiple sites then project documentation must be provided for each site. The documentation must include the T&E species of concern, any critical habitat effected, and a complete description of the timing and the work proposed at the location. This information will be utilized by the Corps to complete an effects determination and consult with the Service as appropriate.
