Interesting, I did not either. I am checking with my central office folks to see what the issue might be. In the meantime,
here is a link to the LF folder if you need:

Hi Kevin,
No worries and sorry for the delay on my response for this one. I also sent out the Laserfiche decision, did you receive
an email from that as well?

Thank you, Zach. Unfortunately, the Corps needs this confirmation before they can proceed, otherwise they have to wait
the 120 days.

Hi Kevin,
While we do not typically provide written concurrence on applications that are provided as courtesy copies, after a quick
review, it appears that this project will be covered under the DWR GC4266. Please follow conditions listed in the
certification and if you find that the project changes, please reach out to the RRO for any permitting requirements.
If you have any questions, please let me know.
Thank you,

Zach, just following up on the email I sent you a little over 6 weeks ago (see below). It would be helpful if you could let
Jean at the Corps know that you concur that the project is eligible for using a GC and that an Individual Certification is
not required so that she can move forward processing the NWP.

Zach, it is my belief that the proposed impacts fit under the GC conditions because there are less than 0.1 acre of
permanent wetland impacts, it is a low density project, and has no impacts to "waters subject to riparian buffer rules".
However, I am typically not the one that has to reach that conclusion, instead I rely on DWR staff to review the PCN that
was submitted and verify that they agree that the project as proposed meets the conditions of the GC.

Hi Kevin,
This was submitted to DWR as a courtesy copy. Do your impacts still fit under the General Cert (GC4266) conditions?
