By letter dated July 14, 2006, we requested that you furnish additional information to enable
us to conclude our evaluation of your application for Department of the Army (DA) authorization
to fi112.98 acres of DA jurisdictional wetlands on your property located off N.C. Highway 12,
adjacent to Currituck Sound, in Corolla, Currituck County, North Carolina. The information
requested was provided but found to be inadequate.
On August 29, 2006, a meeting was held on the proposed project site with representatives
from the Army Corps of Engineers, several consultants, and the surveyor/engineer of record, to
discuss inconsistencies with regard to the actual project area, proposed impacts and ownership of
the affected properties. At this meeting, we again requested that you submit the specific
information referenced in our July 14, 2006 correspondence as well as submit additional
information concerning this project. To date, we have not received any of the requested
information.
Please inform us regarding your intentions. If we do not hear from you within ten days of
your receipt of this letter, we will assume that you no longer wish to pursue Federal authorization
at this time, and your application file will be retired. As discussed, you may reapply once you
have compiled all the necessary information.
Any work performed in an area of our regulatory jurisdiction without DA authorization would
be a violation of Federal law.

Thank you for your time and cooperation. Questions or comments may be addressed to Mr.
Tom Steffens, at the Washington Regulatory Field Office, telephone [phone], extension
25.
Sincerely,
~ ~
