Permit <br />Application Consideration for Grand Junction Pipe and Supply <br />Company, Delta Paving Gravel Pit Number M-98-105'. The project is <br />located adjacent to the Gunnison River within Sections 3 and 10, <br />Township 15 South, Range 95 West, Delta County, Colorado. <br />Based on a site inspection by Mr. Randy Snyder of this <br />office we have determined that jurisdictional waters of the U.S., <br />including wetlands are located within the pit boundary. In <br />accordance with Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, a Department <br />of the Army permit is required for any discharge (including <br />mechanized land clearing) of dredged or fill material in waters <br />of the United States. Within the context of Section 404, "waters <br />of the United States" are defined as the territorial seas; <br />perennial and ephemeral streams; lakes, ponds, impoundments; and <br />wetlands. Federal law requires that any individual or entity <br />proposing to or discharge into waters of the United States obtain <br />a Department of the Army permit prior to commencing just work. <br />To aid the applicant, we have enclosed a list of wetland <br />consultants who routinely perform wetland delineations and are <br />familiar with the Section 404 permit process. <br />We have assigned number 199975039 to this project. Please <br />refer to this number if a Department of the Army permit is <br />required on this gravel pit. If you have any questions, please <br />write to Mr. Snyder or telephone (970) 243-1199, extension 14. <br />Sincerely, <br />,,~ ~ <br />Randy Snyder <br />Project Manager <br />Ecologist <br />Enclosure <br />
