Dear Dr. Thorpe:
I am responding to your request dated June 19, 2012 for modification to the start
date of the in -water work moratorium described in special condition 23 of the
Department of the Army (DA) permit issued for the above referenced project on May 16,
2012. The moratorium start date would be changed from February 1 to February 15.
I have determined that the proposed modification described above is not contrary to
the public interest and therefore, the DA permit expiration date is hereby modified. The
permit modification is as follows:
SPECIAL CONDITION #23
In order to protect anadromous fish and the short -nose sturgeon, a moratorium on
in -water construction will be in place from February 15 -June 30.
Please note that all unmodified terms and conditions of your original Department of
the Army permit shall remain in effect.
