Dear Ms. Manuele:
The enclosed wetland data sheets and surveyed plat are being submitted as a supplement
to the Section 404 IP application, which was submitted on September 14, 2005.

documents were being finalized.
The location of the wetland and an explanation for its impact are included in the
referenced application.
Should you have any questions, or have a need for additional information, please contact
Randy Turner at 755-9490 (office), or 971-5529 (mobile). Thank you for all your time
