Based on this we should definitely not add the language to the bill. I hear what Cyndi is saying, but at the end of the day, it is
the Dept's decision as to how long the reservoir's application was active and the Dept can say that based on this bill, it is
waiving its authority under 401.

No, the Cleveland County Reservoir (aka First Broad River Reservoir) would not be waived under the language we
proposed. The application fee for the 401 was never submitted, and it gets much more complex from there.

Attached is the letter DWQ sent in 2005 in response to the Corps Public Notice, in which we requested payment of the
application fee, among other information needed to review the application. Subsequently, the Corps put this project
into the Project delivery Team process, through which a variety of stakeholders are involved in moving a project from
concept to permit application. At any given time, the Corps may only have one or two PDT *s active, and they are
typically very large, complex, or controversial projects. I d be happy to discuss this process in more detail. I ve also
attached the most recent item in our file, dating from 2009. It include materials from the most recent PDT meeting in
which we were involved. As you will see upon review of this document, the project remains in the early planning
phases, as in Purpose and Need, to be followed by Alternatives Analysis, and so on. This will follow the NEPA process,
which serves to meet SEPA requirements. It *s possible the Corps has been involved with other discussions with the
applicant in which we were not involved.

Per discussion. At the time this review worksheet was submitted, we were working off the earlier version of the bill, not
the one with the isolated waters language.
