Thanks for your PCN and attached plans, dated and received 4/16/2014, for the above referenced project. I have
reviewed the information and currently the project as described does not fit the terms and conditions of Nationwide
Permit 12 http: / /www,saw.usace.army.mil/ Portals /59 /docs/ regulatory /regdocs /NWP2012 /NWP12 3- 23.pdf. Please
see the attached document (2014 -00852 Incomplete Tearsheet.pdf) and submit the requested information (via e-mail is
fine) within 30 days of receipt of this Notification, otherwise we may deny verification of the use of the Nationwide
Permit or consider your application withdrawn and close the file.
Also, as requested last week, I would like to schedule a field verification of the Jurisdictional resources in the project
corridor.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Dave Bailey

2. According to the plans, rip rap is proposed for Impacts 1 and 4; however this is not mentioned in the PCN.
Please include these impacts as permanent in the PCN (although they would not be considered a loss of
Waters). Also, please explain why rip is not proposed for Impacts 2, 3, and 5.
