The work <br />is authorized by a nationwide Department of the Amy permit, provided the <br />enclosed conditions and management practices are followed. <br />Your plan indicates that the 28-foot-wide wetland crossing would cover only <br />about 175 feet. We have not made a field inspection of the site, although the <br />soil survey and wetland maps suggest that the crossing may be slightly longer, <br />perhaps as much as 250-300 feet. Even this longer crossing would be covered by <br />a nationwide permit at this location, however, because the maximum fill would <br />be about 8,400 square feet. The topography on the site makes it unlikely that <br />the crossing would involve more wetland. The area identified as homesites is <br />substantially higher than the wetland. <br />This determination covers only the project referenced above. If the <br />design, location, or purpose of the work changes, you should contact us to make <br />sure the work would not result in a violation of Federal law. In particular, <br />if you plan any additional grading or fill below elevation 964 msl, you should <br />contact our office. Work above this elevation should not require any permit <br />because the wetland should lie below 964 msl, but work below it may Infringe on <br />the wetland. The actual wetland line probably lies somewhere between 959 and <br />964 msl. <br />This verification will remain valid until the nationwide permit is <br />modified, reissued, or revoked. All the nationwide permits are scheduled to be <br />modified, reissued, or revoked before January 13, 1992. It is your <br />responsibility to remain informed about changes to the nationwide permits. We <br />will issue a public notice announces the changes when they occur. Furthermore, <br />if you begin or are under contract to begin this project before the date the <br />nationwide permit is modified or revoked, you will have 12 months from the date <br />of the modification or revocation to complete the project under the present terms <br />and conditions of this nationwide permit.
