'f . The Cor�as of Engir�eers belie�es that ther� may be jurisdictional waters of the
United Sfates on the subject site, and t�e permit applicant or other affected party
who requested fhis prelirninary JD is here�y ad�ised of his or her optian ta
request and o�tair� an appro�ecf jurisdictional determination (JD} for that site.
Ne�erthefess, th� p�rmit applicant or oth�r person who requested this
preliminary JD has declined to exercise the option to abtain an ap�ra�ed JD in
this ir�stance and at this time.
2. Irt any circumstance vvhere a perrr�it applicant obtains an indi�iduaf permit, or
a Natia�wide General Permit (NWP) or other general p�rmit �erification requiring
"pre�constructian notifiica#ion" (PCN}, or requests �eriftcation for a non-reporting
NWP or ofher general permit, and th� permit applicant has not requested an
appror�ed JD for t�e acti�ity, the permit applicant is hereby made aware of the
following: {�) the permit applicant has elected ta seek a permit authorizafion
based on a prelimir�ary JD, which does not make an official determinafion of
jurisdicfional waters; (2} that the applicant has the option to request an appro�ed
JD before accepting the terms and conditions of the permit authorization, and
fhat basing a permit authorizatiort on ar� appro�ed JD coufd possibly result 'rn less
compensatory miiigation being rec�uired or different special conditians; (3) that
tFte applicant has #he right to request an individual permit rather than accepting
the terms and conditior�s of the NWP or other general permit autharization; {4)
that the applicant can accept a permi# authorization and �hereby agree to comply
with al! the terms and conditions of that permit, including whate�er mitigaiion
requirements the Corps �as determine� to be necessary; (5� fhat undertaking
any activity in reliance upan the subject permit authorization without req�esting
an approved JD constitutes the app[icar�t's acceptance of the use of th�
prelirninary JD, but that either forrn of JD will be processed as soon as is
practicable; (6) accepting a permit authorization (e.g., signing a proffered
indi�idual permif) or undertaking any activity in reliance on ar�y form of Corps
permit authorization �asecf on a preliminary JD constitutes agreernent that all
weflands and other water bodies on fhe site affected in any way by fhat actiuifiy
are jurisdict[onal waters of the United States, and preciudes any chaflenge to
such jurisdiction in any administrative or judicial compliance or enforeement
action, or in arty administrative appeal or in any Federal court; and {7) whether
the applicant e[ects to use either an approved JD or a�reliminary JD, thaf JD
will be processed as soon as is prac#icable. Further, an appro�ed JD, a praffered
individuaf permif {ar�d all #erms and conditions contained therein), ar indi�idual
permi# denial can be adrninistrati�ely appealed pursuant to 33 C.F.R. �'ar� 331,
and that in any administrative appeal, jurisdictional issu�s can be raised (see 33
C.F.R. 331.5(a)(2}). If, during that admir�istrative appeal, it becomes necessary
to make an official determination wi�eiher CWA jurisdiction exists over a site, or
to provide an official delineation of jurisdictianal waters on fhe site, the Corps will
prouide an approved JD ta accomplish that res�lf, as soon as is practicable.

This pre�iminary JD finds that there "may be" waters of the UnRied States on the
subject proj�ci site, and identifies al! aquatic features on #he si#e that cauld be
afFected by the proposed activity, based on the following information:
