To this end, wetlands within <br />the development site will be delineated, and determinations will be made as to which agency (or agencies) have <br />jurisdiction. A DA permit may be required for potential wetland impacts <br />2) If the proposal involves activity in navigable waters of the United States, it may be subject to the Corps of <br />Engineers' jurisdiction under Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899 (Section 10). Section 10 prohibits <br />the construction, excavation, or deposition of materials in, over, or under navigable waters of the United States, <br />or any work that would affect the course, location, condition, or capacity of those waters, unless the work has <br />been authorized by a Department of the Army permit. <br />Response: All applicable permitting requirements will be included in the AUAR. Navigable waters will be <br />identified to determine If Section 10 applies. A DA permit may be required for potential impacts At the present <br />time, no activity is anticipated within navigable waters of the United States and we anticipate Section 10 will <br />not be applicable. <br />12800 Whitewater Drive, Suite 300, Minnetonka, MN 55343 1763.476.6010 <br />2401 46th Avenue Southeast, Suite 202, Mandan, ND 58554 1701.204.6845 www.sambatek.com <br />
