Russell Means <br />Division of Reclamation <br />Mining and Safety <br />1313 Sherman Street, ROOM 22 15 <br />Denver, Colorado 80203 <br />Dear Mr. Means: <br />We are responding to your September 24, 2008, request for comments on the Camilletti <br />Pit project. This project is located at Latitude 40.49374, Longitude -107-2265", within Section <br />11, Township 6 North, Range 88 West, Routt County, Colorado. Your identification number is <br />SPK-2008-1445. <br />The Corps of Engineers` jurisdiction within the study area is under the authority of <br />Section 404 of the Clean Water Act for the discharge of dredged or fill material into waters of <br />the United States. Waters of the United States include, but are not limited to, rivers, perennial or <br />intermittent streams, lakes, ponds, wetlands, vernal pools, marshes; wet meadows, and seeps. <br />Project features that result in the discharge of dredged or fill material into waters of the United <br />States will require Department of the Army authoriwidon prior to starting work. <br />To ascertavi the extent of waters on the project site, the applicant should prepare a <br />wetland delineation, in accordance with the "Minimum Standards for Acceptance of Preliminary <br />Wetland Delineations", under "Jurisdiction" on our website at the address below, and submit it to <br />this office for verification. A list of consultants that prepare wetland delineations and permit <br />application documents is also available On our website at the same location. <br />The range of alternatives considered for this project should include alternatives that avoid <br />impacts to wetlands or ocher waters of The United States. Every effort should be made to avoid <br />project features which require the discharge of dredged or fill material into waters of the United <br />States. In the event it can be clearly demonstrated there are no practicable alternatives to filling <br />waters of the United States, mitigation plans should be developed to compensate for the <br />unavoidable losses resulting from project implementation.
