Dear Mr. Shaver,
Acting as an agent on Behalf of Marine Corps Base (MCB) Camp Lejeune, Michael Baker International has completed delineation
of "Waters of the United States," for the above referenced project and is requesting a preliminary jurisdictional determination
within the project study area.
Following our field verification site visit on December 10, 2020 and subsequent field verification from a representative from the
North Carolina Division of Coastal Management on December 22, 2020, updated components (mapping, data sheets,
Jurisdictional Area Summaries) are included in this package. Please contact me by phone [phone] or by email
[e-mail] with any questions or comments.
Thank you very much for your time and cooperation.
Sincerely
TERRY L BURHANS JR. PWS,CPSS
