The Corps of Engineers believes that there may be jurisdictional waters of fihe United S#ates an the subject sifie, and the permit applicant or other affected party who requested this preliminary JD is hereby advis�d of his or her option to request and obtain an approved jurisdictiona! det�rmination (JD) for fhat site. Nevertheless, the permit applicant Qr other person who requested this preliminary JD has declined to exercise the optian to obtain an approved JD in �his instance and at this time. 2. In any circumstance where a permit applicant obtains an individual permit, or a Nationwide Gen�ral Permit (NWP) or ofiher general permit verification requiring "pre-construction notification" (PCN), or requests verification for a nan-reporting NWP ar other genera[ permit, and the permit applicant has not requested an approved JD for the activity, the permit applicant is hereb_y made aware of the following: (1 } the permit applicant has elected to seek a permit autharization based on a preliminary JD, which does not make an official determina#ion of jurisdiciional waters; (2) that the applicant has fihe option to request an approved JD befare accepting th� terms and conditians of the permit authorizatian, arid tha# basirtg a permit authorization on an approved JD could possibly resu(t in less compensatory mitigation being required or different special conditions; (3) that the applicant has the right to request an individual permit rather than accepting the terms and conditions of the NWP ar other general permit authorizaiion; (4) that the app{icant can accept a permit authorization and thereby agree to comply with all ihe terms and condifions of that permit; including whatever mitigafiion requirements #he Corps has determined to be necessary; (5) that undertaking any activity in refiance upan the subject permit authorization without requesting an approved JD constifiutes fihe applicant's acceptance of the use of the preliminary JD, but that either form of JD will be processed as soon as is practicable; (6) accepting a permit authorization (e.g., signing a proffered individual permit) or undertaking any activity in reliance on any form of Gorps permit authorization based on a pre(iminary JD constifiutes agreement that all wetlands and .other water bodies on fihe site affected in any way by fhafi activity are jurisdictionai waters of the United States, and precludes any challenge to such jurisdiction in any administra#ive or judicial compliance or enforcement action, or in any administrative appeal or in any Federal court; and (7) whether the applican# efects to use either an approved JD or a preliminary JD, that JD will be processed as soon as is practicable. Fur�her, an approved JD, a proffered individual permif (and all terms and conditions contained therein), or individual permit denial can be administratively appealed pursuant to 33 C.F.R. Part 331, and that in ar�y administrative appeal, jurisdictional issues can be raised {see 33 C.F.R. 331.5(a)(2)}, ff, during that administrafiive appeal, it becomes necessary to make an official determination whether CWA jurisdiction exists over a sit�, or to provide an official delineation of jurisdictional waters on the si#e, the Corps will provide an approved JD to accomplish that result, as sooh as is practicabfe. This preliminary JD finds that there "may be" waters of the United States on the subject project site, and identifies all aquatic features on the site that could be affected by the praposed activity, based on the following information: SUPPORTING DATA.
