Any loss of an aquatic site may require mitigation. Mitigation <br /> requirements will be determined during the Department of the Army permitting review. <br /> If the information that was submitted could impact WOUS, which are jurisdictional <br /> resources, this office should be notified. If a section 404 permit is required,work in an aquatic <br /> site should be identified by the proponent of the project and be shown on a map identifying the <br /> Quarter Section, Township, Range and County,Latitude and Longitude, Decimal Degrees <br /> (example 39.55555; -104.55555) and the dimensions of work in each aquatic site. <br /> If there are any questions,please call the Denver Regulatory Office at 303-979-4120. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> 4 <br /> John Urbanic <br /> Chief,Denver Regulatory Office <br /> Enclosures: <br /> -PCN requirements <br />
