Dear Mr. Tugwell:
RE: Dug Pond for Irrigation Water Supply
As per our conversation on July 10, 2003, 1 understand that Mr. Joel Boseman's dug pond for
irrigation does not require a 404 permit or a written application or notification to the US Army Corps of
Engineers. I understand that the pond must not be larger than the associated cropland irrigation
needs,that soil can be placed in the wetlands if no high land area is available and that the soil should
be in discontinuous piles and not spread. I further understand that a berm cannot be associated with
the pond and that therefore water cannot be impounded. As discussed, Mr. Boseman plans to haul
as much of the spoil as possible from the site and use it on non-wetland areas. Any fill associated
with the haul will be removed and the area left at pre-construction contours. I have attached a map of
the proposed site and calculations of the needed pond size. Mr. Boseman plans to construct the
pond 1650 feet long and approximately 80 feet wide and 10 to 12 feet deep.
I have discussed the site plans with John Domey and he has determined that it is also exempt from
401 permit requirements and does not need their approval as long as we are more than 50 feet from
all streams on USGS Topographic Maps and the soil survey maps.
If you have any further questions, please let us know.
