Specifically, the project will involve 0.3 acre of impacts to
jurisdictional headwater wetlands and 0.018 a re of impacts to wetlands below
the headwaters. For the purposes of the Corps of Engineers' Regulatory
Program, Title 33, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 330.6, published in
the Federal Register on November 22, 1991, lists nationwide permits.
Authorization was provided, pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act,

waters. Authorization was also provided for discharges of dredged or fill
material into all waters of the United States provided:
a. The discharge does not exceed 25 cubic yards;

sites that are adversely affected by flooding and special aquatic sites that
are drained so that they would no longer be a water of the United States as a
