Aithough a DA Permit will not be required for the project, this does not eliminate <br />the requirement that other applicable federal, state, and local permits be obtained as needed. <br />Please see the enclosed excerpt from 33 CFR parts 323 of the Federal Register dated January 17, <br />2001 regazding excavation activities. My office requires that the description outlined in this excerpt be <br />strictly adhered to. Also, if my office receives information regazding any action or work that resulted in <br />the placement of dredged or fill material, either temporary of permanent, below the ordinary high water <br />mark of the pond or in the wetlands or the excavation does not follow the descripfion of the 33 CFR <br />excerpt, the activity will be considered a violation of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act and you will be <br />ordered to cease and desist the work. At that time the violation will be referred to the Environmental <br />Protection Agency for possible enforcement action that may result in restoration of waters of the U.S., <br />which includes wetlands. Also, the landowner and any other person associated with the violation may be <br />subject to enforcement action. <br />If there aze any questions call Mr. Terry McKee of my office at (303) 979-4120 and reference <br />Corps File No. NWO-2007-185-DEN. <br />tm <br />Sincerely, <br />
