During further discussions with him and Alicia Rea, I eaplalned that in addition to the Corps regulations, the applicant must also conform to the laed use and nhlrty requirements of the City of La Porte.

This will be essential considering the expiration date of the permit. Although not discussed specifically with Kenny, an extension of time associated with the permit will be required and it would be appropriate to request this when seeidng modification.
