Hi Mark,
Thank you for following up on this. If you stay within the field and away from the wooded area (likely wetlands) and
the ditch feature, you would be in an area outside of the Corps' jurisdiction. Hopefully this will be sufficient for
DEMLR, but please let me know otherwise.
Sincerely,
Emily

, Emily .
Just checking to see if you have had a chance to look at the information on the possible wetlands.
We are getting close to running out of sand and the state has said all I need is your confirmation.
Thanks so much for your help.

No. We plan to stay a good distance from the ditch.
We will also stay out of the wooded area as well.
Sincerely,
Mark

Hi Mark,
If you could provide some clarity — do you plan to mine the ditch -like feature that almost bisects the parcel? It
appears that you would stay outside of the wooded area, which would likely consist of wetlands. DEMLR may
need those wetlands delineated to be able to ensure certain buffers.
Sincerely,
Emily
