The project site is located near the Eagle River within Section 6, Township 5 South, Range 84 West, Eagle County, Colorado. In accordance with Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, a Department of the Army permit is required for any discharge (including mechanized land clearing) of dredged or fill material in waters of the United States. Within the context 'of Section 404, "waters of the United States" are defined as the territorial seas; perennial and ephemeral streams; lakes, ponds, impoundments; and wetlands. Federal law requires that any individual or entity proposing to discharge into waters of the United States obtain a Department of the Army permit prior to commencing such work. To aid the applicant, we have enclosed a list of wetland consultants who routinely perform wetland delineations and are familiar with the Section 404 permit process. I have assigned number 200375011 to this project. Please refer to this number if a Department of the Army permit is required on this development project.
