any other required federal, state or local permits before you proceed with your project, including (but not limited

The above noted Certification will expire when the associated USACOE's 404 permit expires unless
otherwise specified in the General Certification. This approval is for the purpose and design that you described
in your application. If you change your project, you must notify this office and you may be required to submit a
new application. If the property is sold, the new owner must be given a copy of this Certification and approval
