29. Residential Developments. Discharges of dredged or fill material into nontidal waters of the United States for the <br /> construction or expansion of a single residence, a multiple unit residential development, or a residential subdivision. This <br /> NWP authorizes the construction of building foundations and building pads and attendant features that are necessary for <br /> the use of the residence or residential development. Attendant features may include but are not limited to roads, parking <br /> lots, garages, yards, utility lines, storm water management facilities, septic fields, and recreation facilities such as <br /> playgrounds, playing fields, and golf courses (provided the golf course is an integral part of the residential development). <br /> The discharge must not cause the loss of greater than 1/2-acre of non-tidal waters of the United States. The discharge <br /> must not cause the loss of more than 300 linear feet of stream bed, unless for intermittent and ephemeral stream beds the <br /> district engineer waives the 300 linear foot limit by making a written determination concluding that the discharge will result <br /> in no more than minimal adverse environmental effects. This NWP does not authorize discharges into non-tidal wetlands <br /> adjacent to tidal waters. The loss of stream bed plus any other losses of jurisdictional wetlands and waters caused by the <br /> NWP activity cannot exceed 1/2-acre. <br /> Subdivisions: For residential subdivisions, the aggregate total loss of waters of United States authorized by this NWP <br /> cannot exceed 1/2-acre. This includes any loss of waters of the United States associated with development of individual <br /> subdivision lots. <br /> Notification: The permittee must submit a pre-construction notification to the district engineer prior to commencing the <br /> activity. (See general condition 32.) (Authorities: Sections 10 and 404) <br />
