notifies you than your application is considered incomplete and will be
placed on hold until such time that these Environmental Review documents
are complete and approved by the State Clearinghouse.
This letter only addresses the application review and does not authorize
any impacts to wetlands, waters or protected buffers. Please be aware

this time) by the DWQ. Please call Amy Adams of the Washington
