This approval is only valid for the purpose and design that you described in your

required to send us a new application for a new Certification. If total wetland fills for this
project (now or in the future) exceed one acre, or of total impacts to streams (now or in
the future) exceed 150 linear feet, compensatory mitigation may be required. If the
property is sold, the new owner must be given a copy of the Certification and approval
