Ward,
You will also need to provide an updated delineation or JD request to address the NWPR vacatur, as well as
address all the concerns/issues that were outlined within the incomplete notice.

Thanks for the outreach James.
The applicant is having their engineer revise the design, per the addition of another jurisdictional feature. I
hope to have the revised plans within a week or so, at which time I will provide an updated PCN.

Ward,
I know you are well aware of the issues regarding the Apollo site with respect to the NWPR and permitting for
this project. We have had several communications with you regarding this project. The last communication
being via email on January 20, 2022, and to date have not received an answer regarding the applicants desire
to move forward. The application is still considered incomplete with an incomplete notice provided to you on
12/10/2021.
As you are aware the Corps may no longer finalize any regulatory action that relies on a NWPR AJD to
document geographic jurisdiction. Accordingly the applicant has the following options to address the JD for
this site in order to move forward with the current PCN that was submitted:
(1) geographic jurisdiction interpreted and documented in the administrative record consistent with the
currently applicable WOTUS definition (i.e., an AJD decided under the pre-2015 regulatory regime); or,
(2) a PJD; or,
(3) a delineation of aquatic features impacted by the project that is not reliant on a JD.
Please let me know asap how the applicant would like to proceed.

If a response is not received within 30 days of receipt of this email, the applicant may be withdrawn due to
lack of applicant response. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
