Hi Keleigh,
I hope all is well. I had a chance to speak with Paul Wojoski (cc's) in our Central Office about this late yesterday, and he
is going to review the PCN and get back to me. As discussed before I went on leave, the 401 Water Quality Certification
we would issue will only be for the borrow areas and open water fill (intertidal) templates that were previously impacted
associated with both the Surf City and North Topsail Beach projects.
Thanks,

Keleigh,
This may require change concerning the 401 WQC, however, I will need to speak with Robb on the matter.
Unfortunately, he is on vacation until next Monday. Would it be ok with you for me to place the project review on hold
until I am able to speak with him concerning this?
Thanks,
Tyler

Hey Tyler,
I spoke with Robb last week about the borrow areas. Turns out that Borrow Area Q, which we will NOT be
using for this contract, was the only borrow area used by any entity previously. However, the borrow areas that
we will use within 3 miles were surveyed in the past and in 2020 (except Borrow Area A last surveyed in 2011).
That being said, we will still dredge within the established footprints of the borrow areas as shown in the plans.
I apologize for the confusion on my part. Please let me know if this will change the 401 WQC.
Thanks,
Keleigh
