Dear Jason Hales,
Reference is made to Corps Action ID: SAW-2022-00448. Please reference this number on any correspondence regarding
this action.
We have reviewed the information provided by you concerning the aquatic resources, and by copy of this e-mail, are
confirming that the aquatic resources delineation has been verified by the Corps to be a sufficiently accurate and
reliable representation of the location and extent of aquatic resources within the identified review area. The location
and extent of these aquatic resources are shown on the delineation map entitled, "Preliminary Wetland Boundary Map"
and dated 2/24/2022.
Regulatory Guidance Letter (RGL) 16-01 https://usace.contentdm.ocic.org/utils/getfile/collection/p16021co119/id/1256
provides guidance for Jurisdictional Determinations (JD) and states, "The Corps generally does not issue a JD of any type
where no JD has been requested." Currently, we are only verifying the delineation. This delineation may be relied upon
for use in the permit evaluation process, including determining compensatory mitigation. This verification does not
address nor include any consideration for geographic jurisdiction on aquatic resources and shall not be interpreted as
such.
This delineation verification is not an Approved Jurisdictional Determination (AJD) and is not an appealable action under
the Regulatory Program Administrative Appeal Process (33 CFR Part 331). However, you may request an AJD, which is an
appealable action.
If you wish to receive a Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination (PJD), or an Approved Jurisdictional Determination (AJD)
please respond accordingly, otherwise nothing further is required and we will not provide any additional
documentation.
**Due to workload volume, it may take 90 -120 days or more for the issuance of a standalone JD; however, you may use
the delineation for planning and permitting purposes.
