depth waiver for more than one structure, please complete a separate water depth waiver request for each.

"Feasible" means an action, such as a development project, mitigation, or preservation requirement, that meets all the
following conditions: (1) Can be accomplished with technologies and methods that have been used in the past in similar
circumstances, or studies or tests that have demonstrated in similar circumstances that such approaches are currently
available and likely to achieve the intended results; (2) Provides a reasonable likelihood of achieving its intended
purpose; and (3) Does not physically preclude achieving the project's primary intended legal use.
