Hi Adam
I hope this email finds you well.We're beginning work on a sand mine and the following was provided
to our client from their environmental consultant.
Below ACOE gives concurrence on the identified wetlands areas but this is not a JD. Mr. Charles
(ACOE)indicates below that the wetlands are accurate and reliable for permitting(See highlighted
statement below).
We just wanted to confirm that you would accept this correspondence for your permitting purposes
or if we should advise our client to have his environmental consultant obtain a ACOE JD letter.
Your input is greatly appreciated
Thanks,
Joseph Bland, PE

On March 28, 2023,we received information from you requesting the Wilmington District, Regulatory
Division review and concur with the boundaries of an aquatic resource delineation.A desk top review
was conducted on March 28, 2023, using information obtained from your 11/09/2022 field sketch of
wetlands WBM 4 Mine ASH, Columbus Co., N.0 11/09/02022 022-093.01 and from Lidar Maps.
We have reviewed the information provided by you concerning the aquatic resources, and by copy of
this e-mail, are confirming that the aquatic resources delineation has been verified by the Corps to be
sufficiently accurate and reliable for permitting actions and the determination of compensatory
mitigation requirements.The boundaries of these aquatic resources are shown on the survey for

Regulatory Guidance Letter(RGL) 16-01
https://usace.contentdm.ocic.org/­utilsgetfile/collection/p16021co119/id/1256 provides guidance for
Jurisdictional Determinations (JD)and states"The Corps generally does not issue a JD of any type
where no JD has been requested".At this time we are only verifying the delineation.This delineation
may be relied upon for use in the permit evaluation process,including determining compensatory
mitigation.This delineation verification is not an Approved Jurisdictional Determination (AJD)and is
not an appealable action under the Regulatory Program Administrative Appeal Process (33 CFR Part
331). However,you may request an AJD,which is an appealable action. If you wish to receive a
Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination (PJD),or an Approved Jurisdictional Determination (AJD)
please respond accordingly, otherwise nothing further is required and we will not provide any
additional documentation.
Please contact me if you have any questions about this project or about the USACE Regulatory
Program.
Respectfully,
Tom
