and wetlands from fuels, lubricants, hydraulic fluids, or other toxic materials. In the event of a spill of

flooded marsh behind adequate dikes or other retaining structures to prevent spillover of solids into any
marsh or surrounding waters. The barriers shall be maintained and functional until the site is graded and

any maintenance excavation work authorized by this permit, and such notification shall include:
A. The number of the original permit.
B. A statement that no dimensional changes are proposed.
C. A copy of the original permit plans with cross-hatching indicating the area to be maintained, the
area to be used for dredge material disposal, and the estimated amount of material to be removed.
The location, design and holding capacity of the dredge material disposal site shall be approved

or other suitable materials approved by Division personnel.
