1. The Corps of Engineers believes that there may be jurisdictional waters of the United
States on the subject site, and the permit applicant or other affected party who requested this
preliminary JD is hereby advised of his or her option to request and obtain an approved
jurisdictional determination (JD) for that site. Nevertheless, the permit applicant or other
person who requested this preliminary JD has declined to exercise the option to obtain an
approved JD in this instance and at this time.
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 approved JD for the activity, the permit
applicant is hereby made aware of the following: (1) the permit applicant has elected to seek
a permit authorization based on a preliminary JD, which does not make an official
determination of jurisdictional waters; (2) that the applicant has the option to request an
approved JD before accepting the terms and conditions of the permit authorization, and that
basing a permit authorization on an approved JD could possibly result in less compensatory
mitigation being required or different special conditions; (3) that 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) that 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) that
undertaking any activity in reliance upon the subject permit authorization without requesting
an approved JD constitutes the applicant's acceptance of the use of the preliminary JD, but
that either form of JD will be processed as soon as is practicable; (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 preliminary JD constitutes
agreement that all wetlands and other water bodies on the site affected in any way by that
activity are jurisdictional waters of the United States, and precludes 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 approved JD or a preliminary JD, that JD will be processed as soon as is
practicable. Further, an approved JD, 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, and that in any administrative appeal, jurisdictional issues
can be raised (see 33 C.F.R. 331.5(a)(2)). If, during that administrative appeal, it becomes
necessary to make an official determination whether CWA jurisdiction exists over a site, or to
provide an official delineation of jurisdictional waters on the site, the Corps will provide an
approved JD to accomplish that result, as soon as is practicable.
This preliminary JD finds that there "may be" waters of the United States on the subject
project site, and identifies all aquatic features on the site that could be affected by the
proposed activity. based on the following information:

❑ Office (Desk) Determination. Date:
❑ Field Determination. Date(s):
1. The Corps of Engineers believes that there may be jurisdictional waters of the United
States on the subject site, and the permit applicant or other affected party who requested this
preliminary JD is hereby advised of his or her option to request and obtain an approved
jurisdictional determination (JD) for that site. Nevertheless, the permit applicant or other
person who requested this preliminary JD has declined to exercise the option to obtain an
approved JD in this instance and at this time.
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 approved JD for the activity, the permit
applicant is hereby made aware of the following: (1) the permit applicant has elected to seek
a permit authorization based on a preliminary JD, which does not make an official
determination of jurisdictional waters; (2) that the applicant has the option to request an
approved JD before accepting the terms and conditions of the permit authorization, and that
basing a permit authorization on an approved JD could possibly result in less compensatory
mitigation being required or different special conditions; (3) that the applicant has the right to
request an individual permit rather than accepting the terms and condition3 of the NWP or
other general permit authorization; (4) that 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) that
undertaking any activity in reliance upon the subject permit authorization without requesting
an approved JD constitutes the applicant's acceptance of the use of the preliminary J0, but
that either form of JD will be processed as soon as is practicable; (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 preliminary JD constitutes
agreement that all wetlands and other water bodies on the site affected in any way by that
activity are jurisdictional waters of the United States, and precludes any challenge to such
jurisdiction in any administrative or judicial compliance or enforcement act,on, or in any
administrative appeal or in any Federal court; and (7) whether the applicant elects to use
either an approved JD or a preliminary JD, that JD will be processed as soon as is
practicable. Further, an approved JD, 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, and that in any administrative appeal, jurisdictional issues
can be raised (see 33 C.F.R. 331.5(a)(2)). If, during that administrative appeal, it becomes
necessary to make an official determination whether CWA jurisdiction exists over a site, or to
provide an official delineation of jurisdictional waters on the site, the Corps will provide an
approved JD to accomplish that result, as soon as is practicable.
This preliminary JD finds that there "may be" waters of the United States cn the subject
project site, and identifies all aquatic features on the site that could be affected by the
proposed activity, based on the following information:
SUPPORTING DATA: Data reviewed for preliminary JD (check all that apply - checked

❑ Office (Desk) Determination. Date:
❑ Field Determination. Date(s):
1. The Corps of Engineers believes that there may be jurisdictional waters of the United
States on the subject site, and the permit applicant or other affected party 'Nho requested this
preliminary JD is hereby advised of his or her option to request and obtain an approved
jurisdictional determination (JD) for that site. Nevertheless, the permit applicant or other
person who requested this preliminary JD has declined to exercise the opt on to obtain an
approved JD in this instance and at this time.
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 approved JD for the activity the permit
applicant is hereby made aware of the following: (1) the permit applicant has elected to seek
a permit authorization based on a preliminary JD, which does not make an official
determination of jurisdictional waters; (2) that the applicant has the option ':o request an
approved JD before accepting the terms and conditions of the permit authorization, and that
basing a permit authorization on an approved JD could possibly result in less compensatory
mitigation being required or different special conditions; (3) that the applic<nt has the right to
request an individual permit rather than accepting the terms and conditions of the NWP or
other general permit authorization; (4) that 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) that
undertaking any activity in reliance upon the subject permit authorization without requesting
an approved JD constitutes the applicant's acceptance of the use of the preliminary JD, but
that either form of JD will be processed as soon as is practicable; (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 preliminary JD constitutes
agreement that all wetlands and other water bodies on the site affected in any way by that
activity are jurisdictional waters of the United States, and precludes any cf allenge 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 applicart elects to use
either an approved JD or a preliminary JD, that JD will be processed as soon as is
practicable. Further, an approved JD, a proffered individual permit (and al terms and
conditions contained therein), or individual permit denial can be administratively appealed
pursuant to 33 C.F.R. Part 331, and that in any administrative appeal, jurisdictional issues
can be raised (see 33 C.F.R. 331.5(a)(2)). If, during that administrative appeal, it becomes
necessary to make an official determination whether CWA jurisdiction exists over a site, or to
provide an official delineation of jurisdictional waters on the site, the Corps will provide an
approved JD to accomplish that result, as soon as is practicable.
This preliminary JD finds that there "may be "waters of the United States on the subject
project site, and identifies all aquatic features on the site that could be affected by the
proposed activity, based on the following information:

E. REVIEW PERFORMED FOR SITE EVALUATION (CHECK ALL THAT APPLY):
❑ Office (Desk) Determination. Date:
❑ Field Determination. Date(s):
1. The Corps of Engineers believes that there may be jurisdictional waters of the United
States on the subject site, and the permit applicant or other affected party %aho requested this
preliminary JD is hereby advised of his or her option to request and obtain an approved
jurisdictional determination (JD) for that site. Nevertheless, the permit app icant or other
person who requested this preliminary JD has declined to exercise the option to obtain an
approved JD in this instance and at this time.
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- ccnstruction
notification" (PCN), or requests verification for a non - reporting NWP or other general permit,
and the permit applicant has not requested an approved JD for the activity the permit
applicant is hereby made aware of the following: (1) the permit applicant hits elected to seek
a permit authorization based on a preliminary JD, which does not make an official
determination of jurisdictional waters; (2) that the applicant has the option to request an
approved JD before accepting the terms and conditions of the permit authorization, and that
basing a permit authorization on an approved JD could possibly result in less compensatory
mitigation being required or different special conditions; (3) that the applicant has the right to
request an individual permit rather than accepting the terms and condition:, of the NWP or
other general permit authorization; (4) that the applicant can accept a permit authorization
and thereby agree to comply with all the terms and conditions of that perm t, including
whatever mitigation requirements the Corps has determined to be necessary; (5) that
undertaking any activity in reliance upon the subject permit authorization without requesting
an approved JD constitutes the applicant's acceptance of the use of the preliminary JD, but
that either form of JD will be processed as soon as is practicable; (6) accepting a permit
authorization (e.g., signing a proffered individual permit) or undertaking an,/ activity in
reliance on any form of Corps permit authorization based on a preliminary JD constitutes
agreement that all wetlands and other water bodies on the site affected in any way by that
activity are jurisdictional waters of the United States, and precludes any challenge to such
jurisdiction in any administrative or judicial compliance or enforcement actim, or in any
administrative appeal or in any Federal court; and (7) whether the applicant elects to use
either an approved JD or a preliminary JD, that JD will be processed as soon as is
practicable. Further, an approved JD, a proffered individual permit (and al terms and
conditions contained therein), or individual permit denial can be administratively appealed
pursuant to 33 C.F.R. Part 331, and that in any administrative appeal, jurisdictional issues
can be raised (see 33 C.F.R. 331.5(a)(2)). If, during that administrative appeal, it becomes
necessary to make an official determination whether CWA jurisdiction exists over a site, or to
provide an official delineation of jurisdictional waters on the site, the Corps will provide an
approved JD to accomplish that result, as soon as is practicable.
This preliminary JD finds that there "may be" waters of the United States o i the subject
project site, and identifies all aquatic features on the site that could be affected by the
proposed activity, based on the following information:

1. The Corps of Engineers believes that there may be jurisdictional waters of the United
States on the subject site, and the permit applicant or other affected party who requested this
preliminary JD is hereby advised of his or her option to request and obtain an approved
jurisdictional determination (JD) for that site. Nevertheless, the permit applicant or other
person who requested this preliminary JD has declined to exercise the opt on to obtain an
approved JD in this instance and at this time.
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 approved JD for the activity the permit
applicant is hereby made aware of the following: (1) the permit applicant has elected to seek
a permit authorization based on a preliminary JD, which does not make an official
determination of jurisdictional waters; (2) that the applicant has the option -:o request an
approved JD before accepting the terms and conditions of the permit authorization, and that
basing a permit authorization on an approved JD could possibly result in less compensatory
mitigation being required or different special conditions; (3) that the appliumt has the right to
request an individual permit rather than accepting the terms and conditions of the NWP or
other general permit authorization; (4) that the applicant can accept a permit authorization
and thereby agree to comply with all the terms and conditions of that perm t, including
whatever mitigation requirements the Corps has determined to be necessary; (5) that
undertaking any activity in reliance upon the subject permit authorization without requesting
an approved JD constitutes the applicant's acceptance of the use of the preliminary JD, but
that either form of JD will be processed as soon as is practicable; (6) accepting a permit
authorization (e.g., signing a proffered individual permit) or undertaking anj activity in
reliance on any form of Corps permit authorization based on a preliminary JD constitutes
agreement that all wetlands and other water bodies on the site affected in any way by that
activity are jurisdictional waters of the United States, and precludes any cl-allenge 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 approved JD or a preliminary JD, that JD will be processed as soon as is
practicable. Further, an approved JD, a proffered individual permit (and al' terms and
conditions contained therein), or individual permit denial can be administratively appealed
pursuant to 33 C.F.R. Part 331, and that in any administrative appeal, jurisdictional issues
can be raised (see 33 C.F.R. 331.5(a)(2)). If, during that administrative appeal, it becomes
necessary to make an official determination whether CWA jurisdiction exists over a site, or to
provide an official delineation of jurisdictional waters on the site, the Corps will provide an
approved JD to accomplish that result, as soon as is practicable.
This preliminary JD finds that there "may be" waters of the United States on the subject
project site, and identifies all aquatic features on the site that could be affected by the
proposed activity, based on the following information:
14,400
