DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY U.S.ARMY ENGINEER DISTRICT,SACRAMENTO j CORPS OF ENGINEERS � 1325 J STREET REPLY TO' SACRAMENTO,CALIFORNIA 95814-2922 ATTENTION OF September 29, 1993 Regulatory Section (199375176) �t�-=t .il1VE4.' OGT 0 41993 Ms. Diane Delaney Mid-Continent Resources Post Office Box 1298 Glenwood Springs, Colorado 81602 Dear Mr. Delaney: I am responding to your request for verification of authorization under Department of the Army nationwide general permit to discharge fill material below the ordinary high water mark of Dutch Creek for bank stabilization. Your request was submitted by letter dated September 15, 1993 . The project is located in Section 29, Township 10 South, Range 88 West, Pitkin County, Colorado. The Chief of Engineers has issued nationwide general permit number 13 which authorizes the discharge of dredged and fill material in waters of the United States for bank stabilization. Your project can be constructed under this authority provided the work meets the terms and conditions listed on the enclosed information sheet. The purpose of this project is to reduce erosion of the stream bank of Dutch Creek to prevent coal refuse stored above the eroded bank from collapsing into the channel. Although we approve the rip-rap project as proposed, we suggest that a more permanent solution be developed next year. Because of the debris flows that the channels in the Coal basin experience, a more permanent solution would be to either relocate the channel away from the eroding bank, or remove the coal refuse piles to another location. If a channel relocation is planned, an individual Department of the Army permit would be required. This verification is valid for a period of two years from the date of this letter unless the nationwide general permit is modified, suspended, or revoked. You should contact this office if work will extend beyond this date.
