proposed project also includes the construction of turn lanes at the intersections of SR
1523 (Rice Road), SR 1529 (Cox Mill Road) and SR 1519 (Broadway Road) The letter
requested information and comments to assist in evaluating potential environmental
impacts of the project,
We have reviewed the subject documents and determined that, based upon a review
of the information provided and available maps, the construction of this project may
impact streams andlor wetlands within the work corridor, Please be aware that impacts
associated with the discharge of fill into jurisdictional waters of the United States arc
subject to our regulatory authority pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, Any
discharge of excavated or fill material into waters of the United States andlor any
adjacent wetlands would require Department of the Army (DA) permit authorization.
The type of DA authorization required (i,e,, general or individual permit) will be
determined by the location, type, and extent of jurisdictional area impacted by the project,
and by the project design and construction limits,
Until additional data is furnished which details the extent of the construction limits of
the proposed projcct, and an onsite inspection is completed with regard to determinations
of the presence of jurisdictional waters in the project area, we are unable to verify that the
project will not have jurisdictional impacts, or to provide specific comments concerning
DA permit requirements or a recommendation of alternatives. To assist you with
determining permitting requirements, we recommend that you perform a detailed
delineation of the streams andlor wetlands present on the project site,
When this information becomes available, it should be forwarded to our office for review
and comment, as well as a determination of DA permit eligibility,
