necessary) to prevent runoff from the dredged material back into a waterbody. If more space is needed, attach an extra sheet
of paper marked Block 22.
Block 23. Is Any Portion of the Work Already Complete? Provide any background on any part of the proposed project
already completed. Describe the area already developed, structures completed, any dredged or fill material already

the work was done under an existing Corps permit, identify the authorization if possible.

Information regarding adjacent landowners is usually available through the office of the tax assessor in the county
of counties where the project is to be developed.
Block 25. Information about Approvals or Denials by Other Agencies. You may need the approval of other Federal,

DRAWINGS AND ILLUSTRATIONS
DRAWINGS AND ILLUSTRATIONS
General Information.
Three types of illustrations are needed to properly depict the work to be undertaken. These illustrations or drawings are
identified as a Vicinity Map, a Plan View or a Typical Cross-Section Map. Identify each illustration with a figure or attachment
number.
Please submit one original, or good quality copy, of all drawings on 8 l/2x11 inch plain white paper (tracing paper or film may be
substituted). Use the fewest number of sheets necessary for your drawings or illustrations.
Each illustration should identify the project, the applicant, and the type of illustration (vicinity map, plan view or cross-section) .
While illustrations need not be professional (many small, private project illustrations are prepared by hand), they should be
clear, accurate and contain all necessary information.
