Mr. Morris,
This is a provisional general permit verification. Your proposed work may be authorized by the above referenced general

provide you with a final general permit verification. Your proposed work shall not commence until after the 401
Certification has been issued or waived AND until a final general permit verification has been provided to you. Additional
special conditions may be added to the final general permit verification, including the following:
1) 1) In order to compensate for impacts associated with this permit, mitigation shall be provided in accordance
with the provisions outlined on the most recent version of the attached Compensatory Mitigation Responsibility
