Subject: FW: Sewer Line question for you (AID 2009-01398)
Ian: We issued a JD confirmation (404 stream and non-404 isolated wetland), and no permit required for hotel
and retail development, on 8/31/09. When I sent Nikki this e-mail response, I didn't know she was talking
about this project, but it doesn't change my response.
Please reply or call if you have any other questions or if I may serve you in any other way.

Subject: RE: Sewer Line question for you
Nikki: We can still permit sewer lines under NWP 12, and we should do so, if the proposed work meets the
criteria, and the applicant requests it. If an NWP 29 or 39 is also being used for other work, then it often makes
sense to combine all the work under the NWP 29 or 39 to simplify it, since it shouldn't put any additional
burden on the applicant.
What project are you referring to?
It is problematic that I issued a "no permit required", and now they need a permit for utilities. I should
remember to ask if any utility impacts are required before I issue an NPR, and site plans or impact footprint
maps submitted should include any required utilities. This particular one can likely be processed as an NWP 12
w/o a problem, but we should avoid this in the future.
Please reply or call if you have any additional questions or if I may serve you in any other way.

Subject: Sewer Line question for you
Hey Eric!
I have a question for you about a project that I have in your area. Are you still permitting sewer lines under a NWP 12?
I've had some projects recently where I was told to permit the sewer line under the NWP 29 and I just want to make sure
that I'm not advising my client into the wrong area. This project (for which you already issued a "no permit required" letter)
doesn't have any permanent wetland impacts. We do, however, have one proposed stream crossing, for the sewer line
tie in. I just want to cover all my bases (since this project just got handed to me from another PM).
Thanks so much!!
Nikki
