REPLY TO <br />ATTENTION OF <br />DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY <br />P <br />U.S. ARMY ENGINEER DISTRICT, SACRAMENTO <br />CORPS OF ENGINEERS <br />1325 J STREET <br />SACRAMENTO CA 95814-2922 <br />Regulatory Division SPK-2009-00842 <br />June 18, 2009 <br />Bob Oswald <br />Division of Reclamation Mining and Safety <br />1313 Sherman Street, Room 215 <br />Denver, Colorado 80203 <br />Dear Mr. Oswald: <br /> <br />Z M - 1q91 -- <br />I/ q rn- of eco <br />VOIN- <br />25 2??9 <br />SUN ??, <br />ofi d ?etY <br />We are responding to your June 10, 2009 request for comments on the Denison Mines <br />project. The project is located within Section 29, Township 4 North, Range 17 West, Latitude <br />38.2119°, Longitude -108.7661°, Montrose County, Colorado. Your identification number is <br />SPK-2009-00842. <br />The Corps of Engineers' jurisdiction within the study area is under the authority of Section <br />404 of the Clean Water Act for the discharge of dredged or fill material into waters of the United <br />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 authorization prior to starting work. <br />To ascertain the extent of waters on the project site, the applicant should prepare a wetland <br />delineation, in accordance with the "Minimum Standards for Acceptance of Preliminary Wetland <br />Delineations", under "Jurisdiction" on our website at the address below, and submit it to this <br />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 other 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.
