Dear Ian McMillan,

Thank you for your Preconstruction Notification received 3/16/2022, for the above referenced project. I have reviewed the information and need clarification before proceeding with verifying
the use of Nationwide Permit (NWP) 29.

Please submit the requested information below (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or consider your application withdrawn and close the file:

1) The project proposes to discharge fill material into 0.037 acre of wetlands. Please provide additional information regarding avoidance and minimization. Specifically, please explain
why the road could not be shifted to further reduce impacts.

2) Given the proximity of this project to known populations of several threatened/endangered species, we will initiate informal consultation with the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS).
Please note that the Corps cannot verify the use of an NWP until Section 7 consultation is complete.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Sincerely,

April Norton
