Obligation:

We, the Principal and Surety(ies) are firmly bound to the United States of America (hereinafter called the Government) in the above penal sum. For payment of the penal sum, we bind ourselves, our heirs, executors, administrators, and successors, jointly and severally. However, where the Sureties are corporations acting as co-sureties, we, the Sureties, bind ourselves in such sum "jointly and severally" as well as "severally" only for the purpose of allowing a joint action or actions against any or all of us. For all other purposes, each Surety binds itself, jointly and severally with the Principal, for the payment of the sum shown opposite the name of the Surety. If no limit of liability is indicated, the limit of liability is the full amount of the penal sum.

Conditions:

The Principal has submitted the bid identified above.

Therefore:

The above obligation is void if the Principal - (a) upon acceptance by the Government of the bid identified above, within the period specified therein for acceptance (sixty (60) days if no period is specified), executes the further contractual documents and gives the bond(s) required by the terms of the bid as accepted within the time specified (ten (10) days if no period is specified) after receipt of the forms by the Principal; or (b) in the event of failure to execute such further contractual documents and give such bonds, pays the Government for any cost of procuring the work which exceeds the amount of the bid.

Each Surety executing this instrument agrees that its obligation is not impaired by any extension(s) of the time for acceptance of the bid that the Principal may grant to the Government. Notice to the Surety(ies) of extension(s) is waived. However, waiver of the notice applies only to extensions aggregating not more than sixty (60) calendar days in addition to the period originally allowed for acceptance of the bid.

If you answered YES to any of these questions, you are REQUIRED to disinfect any equipment that has had contact with water and/or soil.

Do not use felt wading soles (highly recommended). If felt wading soles are used, freeze the waders as outlined in step 3 (required).

Start at the top of a drainage and work downstream (highly recommended). Aquatic threats are typically located in lower elevation areas and this will minimize spread.

RE: Clean Water Act Section 401 Water Quality Certification of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers 2026 Nationwide Permits in Colorado

Dear Ms. Schroeder:

Please find enclosed the water quality certification decisions consistent with Section 401 of the Clean Water Act (CWA) for the reissuance of the Nationwide Permits (NWP). On June 18, 2025, the U.S.

Environmental Protection Agency, Region 8 received the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ requests for water quality certification under CWA Section 401 for the proposed 2026 NWPs. The EPA reviewed the June 18, 2025, Federal Register1 notice announcing the reissuance of the NWPs, along with the regional conditions proposed by the Albuquerque District for Colorado. The enclosed CWA section 401 water quality certification decision applies where the EPA is the certifying authority and includes Indian country2 lands within the state of Colorado3 and lands of exclusive federal jurisdiction in relevant respects within the state of Colorado.4

Please provide this certification to any project proponent (or their designated agent) contacting the Corps regarding applicable projects that may be authorized under the 2026 NWPs. If a project proposal

2 Indian country is defined at 18 U.S.C. § 1151.

3 Indian country in Colorado generally includes: (1) lands within the exterior boundaries of the following Indian reservations located within Colorado: the Southern Ute Indian Reservation and the Ute Mountain Ute Reservation; (2) any land held in trust by the United States for an Indian tribe; and (3) any other areas that are “Indian country” within the meaning of 18 U.S.C. Section 1151. The enclosed CWA Section 401 certification document specifies where these decisions apply.

4 An inventory report compiled by the U.S. General Services Administration for federal properties as of 1962 identifies properties that may contain exclusive federal jurisdiction. This document is accessible at https://www.congress.gov/116/meeting/house/110088/documents/HHRG-116-II13-20191017-SD044.pdf. The EPA notes that this inventory report is not all-inclusive and that the information contained within it has not been recently confirmed and/or updated. Please contact EPA Region 8 at R8CWA401@epa.gov with questions regarding the jurisdictions where this certification decision applies.

Project proponents are encouraged to contact EPA Region 8 during the project planning phase if there are any questions about relevant best management practices (e.g., bioengineering techniques, biodegradable erosion control measures, revegetation using native plant species, suitable fill materials, and disposal of debris/construction materials preventing runoff) and resources that can assist with compliance.

Prior to work commencing, EPA recommends that project proponents notify the appropriate Tribal Environmental Office, if applicable.

Thank you for your ongoing partnership and coordination in implementing CWA regulatory programs.
