These <br />gravel ponds continue to be under the authority of an active Division of Minerals and Geology mined <br />land reclamation mining permit. Federal Register, November 13, 1986, Part 328 (e) states in part: Water <br />filled depressions created in dry land incidental to construction activity and pits excavated in dry land for <br />the purpose of obtaining fill, sand or gravel tmless and until the conswction of excavation operation is <br />abandoned, generally arc not considered by the Corps of Engineers to be waters of the U.S. This <br />includes the wetlands in such gravel ponds. Based on this information, my office has determined that the <br />Siegrist Pits and their shoreline wetlands reference in your August 10, 2006 correspondence to Mr. <br />McKee of my oflicc are nor waters of the U.S. <br />This project has been reviewed in accordance with Section 404 of the Clean Water Act under <br />which the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers may regulate the discharge of dredged and fill material, and any <br />excavation activity associated with n dredge and f ll project in lakes, streams or wetlands. <br />Based on the infornration you provided, a Department of the Army (DA) Permit will not be <br />required for the proposed bank stabilization project located in the Siegrist Pits or there shoreline wetlands, <br />which exist as a result of gravel mining activities ar this site. Although a DA Permit will not be required <br />For the bank stabilization work in the Siegrist Pits or their wetlands, this does not eliminate dtc <br />regniremem char other , pplicable federal, state, and local perntits be obtained as needed. <br />
