RE: Follow Up - Lydia Ann Channel Moorings LLC - SWG-2014-0460 (UNCLASSIFIED)

Kim,
We have requested a hydrographic survey from the Corpus Christi Resident Office. We can't
make our determination without that data.
Seth will get you a status from Andrew Smith today.
As soon as we get the survey we will be able to turn-around an answer very quickly.
Thanks,
Chris

Kim,
This is in regards to the Lydia Ann Channel Moorings LLC project near Port Aransas in Aransas
County, Texas.
As a follow up to our conversation approximately 2 weeks ago.
We (CCRFO) have not received any response from Seth Jones or Chris Frabatta as of the date
and time of this email.
The applicant has been very patient with the process and we (CCRFO) feel that the project is
in the public interest and would reduce unregulated impacts to special aquatic sites along
the Lydia Ann Channel.
That said, we owe the applicant a permit decision and are ready to issue the LOP.
Let me know if this is something you want to sign or if you are ok with me signing it.
Thanks
Nick

Kim,
Just a follow up ...
We (Bobby and I) just got off the phone with Mr. Mike "Skipper: Edwards and informed him that
we contacted Seth and Chris and they would likely be out till next week. But if he wanted to
he contact Joe, as they know each other. Mike stated that he did not want to "muddy the
water" and would wait till they return next week.
Lastly we informed him that from a Regulatory perspective the project is not contray to the
public interest, will benefit the aquatic environment (compared to current ongoing activities
i.e. barges pushed up on San Jose Island) and should not affect navigation (USCG did not
respond to the ICN).

 I informed him of our converstation that Regulatory is prepared to make a decision next week
and if necessary you would sign.
Mike informed us that he will wait till next week before going up the chain of command.
Hopefully Nav/Ops will make a decision; regardless, we will be prepared to make our decision
next week.
Nick
