SECTION I
The following identifies your rights and options regarding an administrative appeal of the above decision.
Additional information may be found at https://www.usace.army.mil/Missions/Civil-Works/Regulatory-
Program-and-Permits/appeals/ or Corps regulations at 33 CFR Part 331.
A: INITIAL PROFFERED PERMIT: You may accept or object to the permit
• ACCEPT: If you received a Standard Permit, you may sign the permit document and return it to the
district engineer for final authorization. If you received a Letter of Permission (LOP), you may accept
the LOP and your work is authorized. Your signature on the Standard Permit or acceptance of the
LOP means that you accept the permit in its entirety, and waive all rights to appeal the permit,
including its terms and conditions, and approved jurisdictional determinations associated with the
permit.
• OBJECT: If you object to the permit (Standard or LOP) because of certain terms and conditions
therein, you may request that the permit be modified accordingly. You must complete Section II of this
form and return the form to the district engineer. Upon receipt of your letter, the district engineer will
evaluate your objections and may: (a) modify the permit to address all of your concerns, (b) modify the
permit to address some of your objections, or (c) not modify the permit having determined that the
permit should be issued as previously written. After evaluating your objections, the district engineer
will send you a proffered permit for your reconsideration, as indicated in Section B below.
B: PROFFERED PERMIT: You may accept or appeal the permit
• ACCEPT: If you received a Standard Permit, you may sign the permit document and return it to the
district engineer for final authorization. If you received a Letter of Permission (LOP), you may accept
the LOP and your work is authorized. Your signature on the Standard Permit or acceptance of the
LOP means that you accept the permit in its entirety, and waive all rights to appeal the permit,
including its terms and conditions, and approved jurisdictional determinations associated with the
permit.
• APPEAL: If you choose to decline the proffered permit (Standard or LOP) because of certain terms
and conditions therein, you may appeal the declined permit under the Corps of Engineers
Administrative Appeal Process by completing Section II of this form and sending the form to the
division engineer. This form must be received by the division engineer within 60 days of the date of
this notice.

C. PERMIT DENIAL WITHOUT PREJUDICE: Not appealable
You received a permit denial without prejudice because a required Federal, state, and/or local
authorization and/or certification has been denied for activities which also require a Department of the
Army permit before final action has been taken on the Army permit application. The permit denial without
prejudice is not appealable. There is no prejudice to the right of the applicant to reinstate processing of
the Army permit application if subsequent approval is received from the appropriate Federal, state, and/or
local agency on a previously denied authorization and/or certification.
D: PERMIT DENIAL WITH PREJUDICE: You may appeal the permit denial
You may appeal the denial of a permit under the Corps of Engineers Administrative Appeal Process by
completing Section II of this form and sending the form to the division engineer. This form must be
received by the division engineer within 60 days of the date of this notice.
E: APPROVED JURISDICTIONAL DETERMINATION: You may accept or appeal the approved JD or
provide new information for reconsideration
• ACCEPT: You do not need to notify the Corps to accept an approved JD. Failure to notify the Corps
within 60 days of the date of this notice means that you accept the approved JD in its entirety and
waive all rights to appeal the approved JD.
• APPEAL: If you disagree with the approved JD, you may appeal the approved JD under the Corps of
Engineers Administrative Appeal Process by completing Section II of this form and sending the form to
the division engineer. This form must be received by the division engineer within 60 days of the date of
this notice.
• RECONSIDERATION: You may request that the district engineer reconsider the approved JD by
submitting new information or data to the district engineer within 60 days of the date of this notice. The
district will determine whether the information submitted qualifies as new information or data that
justifies reconsideration of the approved JD. A reconsideration request does not initiate the appeal
process. You may submit a request for appeal to the division engineer to preserve your appeal rights
while the district is determining whether the submitted information qualifies for a reconsideration.
F: PRELIMINARY JURISDICTIONAL DETERMINATION: Not appealable
You do not need to respond to the Corps regarding the preliminary JD. The Preliminary JD is not
appealable. If you wish, you may request an approved JD (which may be appealed), by contacting the
Corps district for further instruction. Also, you may provide new information for further consideration by the
Corps to reevaluate the JD.

1. The Corps of Engineers believes that there may be jurisdictional aquatic resources in the
review area, and the requestor of this PJD is hereby advised of his or her option to request
and obtain an approved JD (AJD) for that review area based on an informed decision after
having discussed the various types of JDs and their characteristics and circumstances when
they may be appropriate.
2. In any circumstance where a permit applicant obtains an individual permit, or a Nationwide
General Permit (NWP) or other general permit verification requiring "pre- construction
notification" (PCN), or requests verification for a non -reporting NWP or other general
permit, and the permit applicant has not requested an AJD for the activity, the permit
applicant is hereby made aware that: (1) the permit applicant has elected to seek a permit
authorization based on a PJD, which does not make an official determination of
jurisdictional aquatic resources; (2) the applicant has the option to request an AJD before
accepting the terms and conditions of the permit authorization, and that basing a permit
authorization on an AJD could possibly result in less compensatory mitigation being
required or different special conditions; (3) the applicant has the right to request an
individual permit rather than accepting the terms and conditions of the NWP or other
general permit authorization; (4) the applicant can accept a permit authorization and
thereby agree to comply with all the terms and conditions of that permit, including
whatever mitigation requirements the Corps has determined to be necessary; (5)
undertaking any activity in reliance upon the subject permit authorization without
requesting an AID constitutes the applicant's acceptance of the use of the PJD; (6)
accepting a permit authorization (e.g., signing a proffered individual permit) or undertaking
any activity in reliance on any form of Corps permit authorization based on a PJD
constitutes agreement that all aquatic resources in the review area affected in any way by
that activity will be treated as jurisdictional, and waives any challenge to such jurisdiction
in any administrative or judicial compliance or enforcement action, or in any administrative
appeal or in any Federal court; and (7) whether the applicant elects to use either an AJD or
a PJD, the JD will be processed as soon as practicable. Further, an AJD, a proffered
individual permit (and all terms and conditions contained therein), or individual permit
denial can be administratively appealed pursuant to 33 C.F.R. Part 331. If, during an
administrative appeal, it becomes appropriate to make an official determination whether
geographic jurisdiction exists over aquatic resources in the review area, or to provide an
official delineation of jurisdictional aquatic resources in the review area, the Corps will
provide an AJD to accomplish that result, as soon as is practicable. This PJD finds that
there "may be" waters of the U.S. and/or that there "may be" navigable waters of the U.S.
on the subject review area, and identifies all aquatic features in the review area that could
be affected by the proposed activity, based on the following information:
