c. Avoid ocher wecland fill, excepc for Che niniraun necessary Co fill in Block 1, Loc 4, in an essencially isolaced pockec separace from che larger marsh. This pockec does noc show on che Nacional Wecland Invencory map buc does appear on Che soil survey as an isolaced area of Glencoe soil. The wecland pockec (shown on che accached map) is separaced from che main marsh by a ridge of upland soil (shovm on che councy soil suxr/ey and verified by field inspeccion) wich only an old, dry dicch conneccion co convey high wacer. This wecland pockec covers approximacely an acre of grassy. c*/pe 2 wecland, wich a wooded fringe. Your grading plan shows chac che house pad in Loc 4 may require a very small area of chis wecland". AlChough che nacionwide perraic would allow up co an acre of fill or grading in chis wecland, we suggesc chac you minimize filling and ocher adverse discurbance chere. (On chis sice, only chis small wecland qualifies for Chis nacionwide permic. The ocher wecland require individual pennies for residencial or ocher fill and gradirg.) If you, or a subsequenc landowner, wishes CO excavace a wildlife pond in chis area, we can make some specific suggescions. This wecland encroaches slighcly inco Loc 5. d. Keep ocher fill and grading around che main marsh above elevacion 934. Mr. Yanca did noc mark che encire wecland. buC ne did verify chac che wecland generally seems Co go above elevacion 932 buc noc quice co elevacion 934. Your grading plan does noc show any fill or grading below chis elevacion, aside from che cwo areas discussed above chac would be covered by nacionwide permics and che area in Block 2, Loc 1, chac we suggesc you do noc fill. Some of che area shown as old fill in che councy soil sur-/ey (see accached map) scill appears co be werland, wich sacuraced hydric soils and wecland vegecacion. Perhaps chese areas were low, wee spocs parcly filled wich hydric soil chac has since subsided and caken on a more nacural wecland characcer. If you plan co fill or grade below 934 in chese areas, we would require a delineacion of che encire wecland. We could do chis delineacion ourselves, alchough ic would be several weeks before we could schedule ic, or you could hire a qualified consulcanc co do che delineacion and subraic a reporc chac would be subjecc co our review and approval. e. Clean excavacion of che area shown in Block 1, Locs 5 and 3, would noc require a Deparcmenc of che Army permic if che excavaced macerial is placed on an upland area and if no ocher fill or grading is involved in che excavacion. (This excavacion would probably receive only parcial micigacion credic, if any. for wecland fill auchorized under a Deparcmenc of che Army permic because che excavaced area appears Co be all wecland. The excavacion would only converc one wecland cype Co anocher, racher chan creace or expand an exiscing wecland.) If chese changes are accepcable and no ocher changes Chac aighc involve wecland fill are necessary, we do noc require any furcher review of your projecC or processing of your applicacion. The nacionwide pexrmics for che fill described in seccions b and c are already in effecc. If you wish Co apply for a permic Co place fill in Block 2, Loc 1. or in any ocher wecland areas adjacenc Co Wecland 27-912W, you muse apply for an individual permic for che encire project. (Your currenc applicacion covers only che proposed fill in Block 2, Loc 1.) This deCerminacion covers only che projecc referenced above. If che design, location, or purpose of che work changes, you should concacc us co make sure che work would noc resulc in a violacion of Federal law. Our celephone number is (612) 220-0375.
