Dear Mr. DeSantis:

Enclosed are copies of the comment letters the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers received in response to the public notice issued for the above-referenced project. Various concerns were raised in the comment letters that must be addressed before a decision can be reached by this office on your application.  The concerns include:

In accordance with Title 33 of the Code of Federal Regulations Part 325.2(a) (3), this office requests that you review the letters and furnish your views on the issues raised to assist us in determining whether the project is in the public interest. You may contact persons objecting to your proposal in an attempt to resolve their concerns.  You must however submit a written response to the letters to this office within 30 days of the date of this letter.  Your response should attempt to resolve or rebut each of the concerns raised.  If you require more time to provide a response, please contact this office as soon as possible.

Your prompt attention to this matter will enable the Corps of Engineers to proceed with the evaluation of your application in a timely manner.  If you do not provide your response within 30 days of the date of this letter (and you have not been granted additional time), it will be presumed that you no longer wish to pursue the project and your application will be withdrawn without further notification.

A copy of this letter is being forwarded to each of the commenting parties to acknowledge receipt of their letter.  If you have any questions, please contact Mr. Brian Smith by telephone at (312) 353-6400, extension 4031, or email at brian.l.smith@usace.army.mil .
