<br />For further information regarding anti-degradation provisions, <br />please contact Mr. Owen at the Colorado Department of Health, <br />telephone (303) 692-3579. <br />The latest published version of the National Register of Historic <br />Places and its monthly supplements have been reviewed and there <br />are no places either listed or recommended as eligible which <br />would be affected. No further cultural resources review is <br />warranted because the permit area has been extensively modified <br />by previous work. Presently unknown cultural resources may be <br />located in the permit area. <br />This activity would not affect any threatened or endangered <br />species or their critical habitat. The District Engineer has <br />made this determination based on information provided by the <br />applicant and on the Corps' preliminary investigation. <br />Interested parties are invited to submit written comments on or <br />before August 12, 1993. Any person may request, in writing, <br />within the comment period specified in this notice that a public <br />hearing be held to consider this application. Requests for <br />public hearings shall state, with particularity, the reasons for <br />holding a public hearing. <br />The decision whether to issue a permit will be based on an <br />evaluation of the probable impact including cumulative impacts of <br />the proposed activity on the public interest. That decision will <br />reflect the national concern for both protection and utilization <br />of important resources. The benefit which reasonably may be <br />expected to accrue from the proposal must be balanced against its <br />reasonably foreseeable detriments. All factors which may be <br />relevant to the proposal will be considered including the <br />cumulative effects thereof; among those are conservation, <br />economics, aesthetics, general environmental concerns, wetlands, <br />cultural values, fish and wildlife values, flood hazards, flood <br />plain values, land use, navigation, shoreline erosion and <br />accretion, recreation, water supply and conservation, water <br />quality, energy needs, safety, food and fiber production, mineral <br />needs, consideration of property ownership, and in general, the <br />needs and welfare of the people. <br />For activities involving 404 discharges, a permit will be denied <br />if the discharge does not comply with the Environmental <br />Protection Agency's 404(b)(1) guidelines. Subject to the <br />preceding sentence and any other applicable guidelines or <br />criteria, a permit will be granted unless the District Engineer <br />determines it would be contrary to the public interest. <br />5 <br />
