(1) If the applicant is applying for a standard AOT permit, documentation showing that an ecological review pursuant to Env-C 800 has been requested and a copy of all relevant correspondence with the ecological review section of the department from the date of the DataCheck request results letter, to the date that the AOT permit application is filed;
    2. (2) If the applicant is applying for a permit by notification, documentation showing that the applicant has incorporated into the project design all final conservation measures recommended by the department to assure the project does not appreciably jeopardize the continued existence of threatened and endangered species as defined in Fis 1002.04;
