Regulatory Branch (200500982) Karla Kuhl San Joaquin County Community Development Department Development Services Department 1810 East Hazelton Avenue Stockton, California 95205 Dear Ms. Kuhl: We are responding to your September 27, 2005, request for comments on the Frost Minor Subdivision project. This project is located at Latitude 037° 49' 46.2", Longitude 120° 56' 17.1", Section 24, Township 1 South, Range 9 East, near Escalon, in San Joaquin County, California. Your identification number is PA-0500621 (MS). The Corps of Engineers' jurisdiction within the study area is under the authority of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act for the discharge of dredged or fill material into waters of the United States. Waters of the United States include, but are not limited to, rivers, perennial or intermittent streams, lakes, ponds, wetlands, vernal pools, marshes, wet meadows, and seeps. Project features that result in the discharge of dredged or fill material into waters of the United States will require Department of the Army authorization prior to starting work. To ascertain the extent of waters on the project site, the applicant should prepare a wetland delineation, in aceardance with the ':Minimum Standards for Acceptance of Preliminary Wetland Delineations", under "Jurisdiction" on our website at the address below, and submit it to this office for verification. A list of consultants that prepare wetland delineations and permit application documents is also available on our website at the same location. The range of alternatives considered for this project should include alternatives that avoid impacts to wetlands or other waters of the United States. Every effort should be made to avoid project features which require the discharge of dredged or fill material into waters of the United States. In the event it can be clearly demonstrated there are no practicable alternatives to filling waters of the United States, mitigation plans should be developed to compensate for the unavoidable losses resulting from project implementation.
