out of any wetland area. Wetlands are areas that are inundated <br />or saturated by surface or ground water at a frequency and <br />duration sufficient to support, and under normal circumstances do <br />support, a prevalence of vegetation typically adapted for life in <br />saturated soil conditions. Wetlands generally include swamps, <br />marshes, bogs and similar areas. Some typical plants found in <br />wetlands include sedges, rushes, bullrushes, cattails and <br />willows. <br />c. Destruction of riparian or riverine vegetation, especially <br />mature growth riparian trees, shall be avoided. When work <br />authorized by this permit causes damage to riparian vegetation <br />that is not directly covered by a permanent feature, these <br />scarred areas shall be revegetated with a mixture of native <br />trees, shrubs and grasses. Seeding and sprigging of native <br />trees, shrubs and grasses is highly recommended and advantageous <br />to further stabilize streambanks. For further information on <br />revegetation, contact your local Soil Conservation Service office <br />or the Corps of Engineers. <br />d. This permit does not authorize discharges of dredged or fill <br />material associated with channel straightening or cutting off of <br />meanders. <br />e. Any activity authorized under this permit shall not <br />jeopardize a threatened oz endangered species as indentified <br />under the Endangered Species Act or destroy or adversely modify <br />the critical habitat of such species. When appropriate, the <br />Corps of Engineers will consult with the U. S. Fish and Wildlife <br />Service on specific requests to perEozm work under this RGP when <br />a project may affect a threatened or endangered species. <br />f. Only clean material free of waste metal products, organic <br />materials, unsightly debris, etc. may be used for discharges <br />authorized under this RGP. <br />g. All instream work should be performed during low water <br />periods and use of heavy equipment in streambeds, especially in <br />live or flowing water, should be minimized. <br />h. Any work constructed under the authority of this RGP should <br />not limit the ability of any existing diversion structure to <br />appropriate water or adversely impact a gaging station. <br />i. Approval to perEozm work under this RGP does not obviate or <br />make unnecessary the requirements of other Federal, state or local <br />permitting authorities. For example, the Bureau of Land Manage- <br />ment should be contacted regarding work on public lands and <br />similarly, approval from your local County government may be <br />required in accordance with local zoning or floodplain regulations. <br />x:txx:t:,exx~ex,e~xx*x,tt::xet::~t,r,-x*,rt:sex:xs,ex,tx*x,exxx,e~xxxixx,e,~exxxx• <br />THIS REGIONAL GENERAL PERMIT IS ALSO SUBJECT TO THE ATTACHED LIST <br />OF STANDARD CONDITIONS. ~ C ^ ~~~~ <br />s JAN c ~saa <br />MINED LAi~~ <br />RECLAMATION DIVfS~ON <br />
