scratch some of that. I was reading this on my phone last night. Should have used my computer screen as I did this morning. Still, the emails/notes are leaving out the conversations and logic around how some of these decisions have been/are being made.

Nationwide permit 14 could cover a project like this, provided those conditions are met; however, the wording in the emails/meeting minutes you’ve presented is confusing regarding 404 applicability.

For instance, if no 404, then why file a PCN?

The early 2024 email concerning USFW and OTA uses the term-of-art “consultation” - so apparently, the project has formally been discussed with them was considered covered under USACE jurisdiction (at least at that time).

However, there’s nothing in what you’ve presented about consultation with Tribes or the SHPO which would also be part of the NWP process.
