1. The Corps of Engineers believes that there may be jurisdictional waters of the United
States on the subject site, and the permit applicant or other affected party who requested this
preliminary JD is hereby advised of his or her option tt� request and obtain an approved
jurisdictional determir�ation (JD} for that site. Nevertheless, the permit applicant or other
person who requested this preiiminary JD has declined to exercise the option ta obtain an
approved JD in this ins#ance and at this time.
2. ln any circumstance where a permit appficant obfains an individual permit, or a Nationwide
General Permit (NWP) or other general permit verification requiring "pre-construction
notification" (PCN}, ar requssfs verificatian for a non-reporking NWP or other general permit,
and the permit applicant has not requested an approved JD far ihe activity, the permit
applicant is hereby made aware of the following: (1) the permit applicant has elected to seek
a permit authorization based an a preliminary JD, which daes not make an official
determination of jurisdictiana! waters; (2) that the applicant has the option to request an
appraaed JD before accepting the terms and condi#ions of the permit authariza#ion, and that
basing a permit autharization on an approwed JD could possibly result in less compensatory
mitigatian being required or different special canditions; (3) that the applicant has the right io
request an individua! permit rather than accepting the terms and conditians of the NV1/P or
other general permit authorizatian; (4) that the applicant can accept a permit autharizatian
and thereby agree ta comply with all the terms and conditions af that permit, including
whatever mitigation requirements the Corps has determined to be necessary; (5) that
undertaking any activity in reliance upon the subject permit authorization without requesting
an approved JD constitutes the applicant's acceptance of the use of the preliminary JD, but
that either form of JD wilf be pracessed as saon as is practicable; (6) accepting a permit
authorization (e.g., signing a proffered individual permit) or undertaking any activify in
refiance an any form of Corps permit authorization based on a preliminary JD constitutes
agreement that all wetlands and other water bodies on the site affected in any way by that
activity are jurisdictional waters of the United States, and precludes any challenge to such
jurisdiction in any administrati�e or judicial compliance or enf�orcemenf action, or in any
administrative appeal or in any Federal caurt; and (7) whether the applieant elects to use
either an approved JD ar a pr�liminary JD, that JD will be processed as sc�on as is
practicable. Further, an appro�ed JD, a proffered individuaf permit (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 any adminis#rative appeal, jurisdictional issues
can be raised (see 33 C.F.R. 331.5(a)(2}). If, during that administrati�e appeal, it becomes
necessary ta make an official determination whether CWA jurisdiction exists over a site, ar ta
provide an official delineation of jurisdictianal waters on the site, the Corps will pra�vide an
appraved JD to accamplish that result, as soon as is practicable.
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 affecied by the
proposed activity, based on the following information:

Insiructions far completion of worksheet (located on page 2): Begin by determining the most appropriate ecoregion based on
location, tenrain, vegetation, stream classiiication, etc. Every characteristic mvst be scored using the same ecoregion. Assi,gn points
to each characteristrc within the range shown for the ecnregion. Page 3 provides a brief description of how to review the
characteristics identified in the worksheet. Scores should reflect an overall assessment of the stream reaeh under evalustion. If a
characteristic cannot be evaluated due to site or weather conditions, enter 0 in the scoring box and pro�ide an explanation in the
comment section. Where there are ab�ious changes in the eharacter of a stream under review (e.g., the stream flows from a pasture
into a farest), the s#ream may be divided into smaller reaches that display more continuity, and a separate form used to evaluate each
reach. The tatal scare assigned to a stream reach m�st range between 0 and 1�0, with a score of 100 representing a stream of the
highest quality.

Instructions for cnmpletion of worksheet (located on page 2): Begin by determining the mast appropriate ecoregion based on
loca.tian, terrain, vegetatinn, siream classification, ete. Every characteristic must be scared using the same ecoregion. Assign points
to each characteristic within the range shown for the ecoregion. Page 3 prov'rdes a brief description of how to review the
characteristics identified in the worksheet. Scores should reflect an overali assessment of the stream reaeh under evaluation. If a
characteristic cannot be evaluated dae to site or weather canditions, enter 0 in the scoring box and provide an explanation in the
comment section. Where there are obvious changes in the character of a stream under review (e.g., the stream flows from a pasture
into a forest), the stream may be divided into smaller reaches that display more continuity, and a separate form used ta evaluate each
reach. The total score assigned to a stream reach must range between 0 and 100, with a score of 100 representing a streain of the
highest quality.
