REPLY TO ATTENTION Or DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY SEATTLE DISTRICT. CORPS OF ENGINEERE P.O. BOX C-3755 S'_ATTLE, WASHINGTON 98124-2255 Regulatory Branch MAR 3 0 1988 Mr. Jim Miller Lovell - Sauerland & Associates, Inc. 23106 - 100th West Edmonds, Washington 98020 Dear Mr. Miller: On March 21, 1988, you met with Mr. Richard Berg of this office and provided information concerning the proposed Metco Construction project near Everett, Snohomish County, Washington. The project site is located at 121st Southeast and Bothell Everett Highway. You inquired about permit requirements for placing fill on this site. Based on the information you have provided, we have determined that all of the wetlands at the site are considered wetlands under Department of the Army jurisdiction pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. The two wetlands at the south portion of the property are considered isolated wetlands with a combined toal area of approximately 0.3 acres. Department of the Army regulations dated November 13, 1986, authorize certain activities under nationwide permits. Paragraph 330.5(a)(26) of these regulations authorizes discharges of dredged or fill material into nontidal rivers, streams, and their lakes and impoundments, including adjacent wetlands, that are located above the headwaters (where the average annual flow is less than 5 cubic feet per second). Similar discharges are also allowed into other nontidal waters of the United States that are not part of a surface tributary system to interstate waters or navigable waters of the United States (i.e., isolated waters). The discharge area must be less than 1 acre. Based on this information, you may place fill material so that less than 1 acre of wetlands is modified. No indivic!ual Department of the Army permit will be required, provided the enclosed nationwide permit conditions are met.
