Photographs and <br />information within the report indicated a potential violation in the North Fork of the Gunnison <br />River. The project is located at the old Paonia Drive-In Theater within the NE '/4 of Section 1, <br />Township 14 South, Range 92 West, Sixth Principal Meridian, Latitude 38.8676°, Longitude - <br />107.61357°, Town of Paonia, Delta County, Colorado. <br />Based on our September 20, 2010 site visit, Ms. Carrie Sheata of this office investigated the <br />area and determined there was no unauthorized fill placed with the North Fork of the Gunnison <br />River. Equipment frequently crosses the river and there was no evidence of recently placed material <br />on the southeast bank of the river. Prior dealings with our office make you aware of the Corps' <br />Regulatory program and you know to contact our office with any projects involving the placement <br />of fill into waters of the United States, including wetlands. Please be aware that dozer blading of <br />the river to designate an access crossing is a regulated activity. <br />Please refer to identification number SPK-1996-75208 in any correspondence concerning <br />this project.
