Dear Mr. Zancanella:
We are responding to your request for a preliminary jurisdictional determination {JD }, in
accordance with our Regulatory Guidance Letter (RGL) 08.42, for the RTZ Industries Project
site. This site is located within Section 33, Township 7 South, Range 96 West, 6' PM, Latitude
39.397, Longitude - 108.109, Garfield County, Colorado.
Based on available information, we concur with the estimate of potential waters of the
United States, as depicted on Rocky Mountain Ecological Services, Ines Updated June 2008
Wetland Determination Report. The approximately 1.05 acres of wetlands or other water bodies
present within the survey area may be jurisdictional waters of the United States. These waters
may be regulated under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act.
A copy of our RGL 48 -02 Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination Form for this site is
enclosed. Please sign and return a copy of the completed form to this office. Once we receive a
copy of the form with your signature we can accept and process a Pre - Construction Notification
or permit application for your proposed project.
You should not start any work in any potentially jurisdictional waters of the United States
unless you have Department of the Army permit authorization, or if you intend to request an
approved JD for this site. In certain circumstances, as described in RGL 08 -02, an approved JD
may later be necessary.
This preliminary determination has been conducted to identify the potential limits of
wetlands and other water bodies which may be subject to Corps of Engineers' jurisdiction for the
particular site identified in this request. This determination may not be valid for the wetland
conservation provisions of the Food Security Act of 1985. If you or your tenant are USDA
program participants, or anticipate participation in USDA programs, you should request a
certified wetland determination from the local office of the Natural Resources Conservation
Service, prior to starting work.
