Ms. Harjuniemi,
When the proposed project was initially presented to the Corps, The Corps had concerns about the proposed impacts in
relation to the size of the development and was not convinced the applicant appropriately demonstrated avoidance and
minimization to the extent practicable. The Corps stated "We looked at the square footage proposed per acre because
property size is often a primary siting criteria used for such developments. The applicant is proposing building square
footages per acre that are 23% higher than the highest reviewed and 42% high than the aver per acre across all sites
reviewed. This would seem to suggest that reducing the size of or completely eliminating building 200 would be
practicable since it has been achieved by many other developers in the market. We believe this may eliminate the need
for a waiver altogether."
Based on the administrative record, the last correspondence the Corps had with CWS about this project is summarized
as: The applicant has still yet to demonstrate avoidance and minimization to the extent practicable based on previously
issued permits in the region. The Corps made additional recommendations to reduce the size and/or eliminate Building
600 (a.k.a. Building 200) from the proposed project site layout which would further reduce impacts to waters of the
United States. The Corps has not changed it stance or recommendations. Therefore, additional information and further
justification is needed as to why now the Corps should consider a waiver, especially if the site plan has not changed from
the past iteration.

Brian,
PCN was originally submitted on April 8, 2019 and IP waiver was requested (SAW-2018-02209). IP waiver was discussed
in the IP pre -application meeting and based on Sean Martin's notes, Todd Bowers from EPA would have been favorable
towards this as the stream was intermittent. However, the permit was never issued and I assume it has been
withdrawn.
DEQ now requires requesting a pre -filing meeting for all projects. We need to determine if the IP waiver still is a valid
option and how to proceed. The new Nationwide Permits are proposing eliminating the 300 linear feet threshold
altogether. CWS staff working on this project has changed and David Shaeffer no longer works as a regulator so we
were hoping to gain understanding how to proceed.
We are tentatively meeting on site November 4th to assess the stream the developer wants to impact. The
currently estimated impacts are approximately 500 If.
Thanks,
Aliisa

Alan,
Let me know when you would be available to meet on site. Since the project has been on hold for so long we are
essentially starting from scratch.
Thanks,

I will be at the office tomorrow and see if I have any notes from a pre-app meeting. The project name sounds
familiar. I'll forward anything I can find and then we can re -assess "what next"..

Alan,
To clarify, pre-app meeting with agencies initially occurred in 2019 before the original NWP submittal. I am not 100%
sure what happened, but during that meeting an option for the IP waiver was discussed and the client is under the
impression that if he can reduce the impacts below 500 If USACE would grant IP waiver.
Obviously, USACE PM has changed since then and I was not involved with any of the meetings or correspondence, so
we are basically starting from the beginning, but we need agencies to make decisions whether IP waiver is even an
option anymore.
Thanks,
Aliisa

I have included Sue on this, if the IP isn't waived. Not sure we would be in favor.
It might be good to have all involved at the site together if they feel the need to revisit.
Thanks

Alan,
We just submitted a pre -filing request for the resubmittal of Patterson Road project through the
electronic form. Due to the nature of the project, it would be helpful if you could meet us on site.

Our client is requesting an IP waiver.
