II. REASON FOR REQUEST
I intend to construct/develop a project or perform activities on this parcel which may require authorization from the
Corps, and the JD would be used to avoid and minimize impacts to jurisdictional aquatic resources and as an initial
step in a future permitting process.
III. TYPE OF REQUEST: (check all that apply)
=Approved' Jurisdictional Determination (AJD)
jPreliminary2 Jurisdictional Determination (PJD)
I —I I am uncertain and request and require additional information to inform my decision
1Approved — An AJD is defined in Corps regulations at 33 CFR 331.2. As explained in further detail in RGL 16-01, an AJD is used to indicate that this
office has identified the presence or absence of wetlands and/or other aquatic resources on a site, including their accurate location(s) and boundaries,
as well as their jurisdictional status. AJDs are valid for 5 years.
2Preliminary — A PJD is defined in Corps regulations at 33 CFR 331.2. As explained in further detail in RGL 16-01, a PJD is used to indicate that this
office has identified the approximate location(s) and boundaries of wetlands and/or other aquatic resources on a site that are presumed to be subject
to regulatory jurisdiction of the Corps of Engineers. Unlike an AJD, a PJD does not represent a definitive, official determination that there are, or that
there are not, jurisdictional aquatic resources on a site, and does not have an expiration date.
