Stevens <br />Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Division <br />Department of Natural Resources <br />1313 Sher..an Street, Reem 215 <br />Denver, Colorado 80203 <br />Dear Mr. Stevens: <br />This is in response to your notice dated July 16, 1992, <br />regarding an application to conduct gravel mining operations by <br />City of Colorado Springs at the Hanna Ranch Pit No. 2, MLRD File <br />No. M-92-074 (Corps of Engineers Action No. 1992 30115). <br />We have studied the project description, other records, and <br />documents available to us. The site is located near Fountain, E1 <br />Paso County, Colorado, in Section 20, Township 165, Range 65W. <br />It appears that the mining site contains a water of the United <br />States, Fountain Creek. Other waters of the United States may be <br />located on the site. <br />If the proposed work involves discharges of dredged or fill <br />material into waters of the United States, a Department of the <br />Army permit under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act may be <br />required. Waterfilled depressions created in dry land incidental <br />to construction activity or pits excavated in dry land for the <br />purpose of obtaining, fill, sand, or gravel are generally not <br />considered to be waters of the United States liiltii t:ie pit is no <br />longer used for obtaining fill. At that time, Waterfilled <br />depressions may be considered a water of the United States and <br />the placement of dredged or fill material into the pit may be <br />regulated. <br />The work may be permitted by one of the following nationwide <br />permits: road crossings (33 CFR 330, App. A, No. 14); return <br />water from an upland contained dredged material disposal area (33 <br />CFR 330, App. A, No. 16); or discharges of fill into headwaters <br />or isolated waters (33 CFR 330, App. A, No. 26). Temporary roads <br />for moving mining equipment may be exempted by regulation (33 CFR <br />323.4(a)(6)). <br />r ..: . .rt ._ __ ""_ . _, _ .,.a.~.~~.._..:.2~'~= ~ ='`-', • ___ _y .~:~-^~~-2.~..-i~`5,::'~i:]v~.~iiir:.~~~11-3 - _ - _'.~r.Fr.: <br />
