Thanks for your help Jamie. The Birchwood application is for an isolated wetland permit only; not a 404
or 401. I asked an old coworker about isolated wetland permits. They recommended checking both the
isolated wetland & 401 boxes on the pcn application.
Ian, for the future, do I only need to check the isolated wetland permit box when it only applies to an
isolated wetland impact? Thanks for y'alls help.

Jay,
I was talking to Ian at DWQ about this project. He sent you a letter requesting more information and
copied me. That was the first I had heard of it. I was over at his office on a different project but I took
the time to glance through the application. It was confusing as you only requested an isolated wetland
permit and 401 from DWQ in the PCN. We never received a copy, but the cover letter requested written
concurrence from the Corps under Section 404 for NWP 39. Had you intended to send us a copy or was
this just an isolated wetland application to DWQ?
In any event, I wanted to give you a heads up that we did not receive the application from you and are
not processing it. If you do plan to submit it to us then please address Ian's concerns as well as the
following in order for your application to be complete:
Agent authorization signed by the property owner
Site coordinates in decimal degrees
Prior project history of JDs and Permits used on this and previous phases per section IV of PCN
Future project plans per section V
Documentation that the wetlands on the site are isolated
Describe measures taken to avoid and minimize impacts per NWP General Condition 13 part 12
Provide a mitigation proposal for unavoidable impacts per NWP General Condition 19
Also, please send all future applications that you may have in Edgecombe, Halifax, Johnston, Nash and
Northampton counties to my attention to help expedite processing.
