Re: Broadwater Heights, Block 3, Lot 14
Dear Mr. & Mrs. Hewko,
0:101 1
t eparl Otent
Mayor Begich forwarded your letter to the Development Services Department for investigation
and response. Thank you for expressing your concerns on the development of Broadwater
Heights Subdivision, Block 3, Lot 14, which is next door to your property. The Municipality of
Anchorage welcomes your input for the construction and development of land.
The Development Services Department, On -Site Water & Wastewater Program (OW WP) issued
a renewal permit last spring to construct a wastewater disposal system in its current location.
The original permit for this location was issued in 2005. When this permit was issued, the
surface water was not known about. Two separate surveyors making plot plans of the property
did not find any surface water. After the exposure of the surface water, the Watershed
Management Section of the Municipality of Anchorage mapped three gravel bed channels in the
summer of 2007 running across the ground. There was no surface water in them at the time and
they said that they appeared to carry intermittent flows of water during snowmelt or rainstorm
events. This type of intermittent surface drainage does not require the 100 -foot setback
requirement from septic systems. It was described to us by the builder and the engineer that it
was not until the land was cleared of vegetation that the water began flowing on the ground
surface. Construction of the home and wastewater system was stopped until a solution to
satisfactorily protect the surface water was in place.
The ability to waive separation requirements to surface waters in certain cases such as this was
granted in 1985 to the Municipality of Anchorage by the State of Alaska Department of
Environmental Conservation (ADEC). The ADEC has done a second review and supported time
City's decision to grant this waiver.
As with all advanced wastewater systems in the Municipality of Anchorage, there is a
requirement to have audible and visual alarms installed inside the house. In a recent phone call to
Community, Security, Prosperity
David and Jane Hewko
June 19, 2009
Page 2 ort
the wastewater system manufacturer (Anchorage Tank & Welding) we were told that the last
alarm from the junction box on the exterior of the home was January 9, 2008. This information
was obtained from their computer log of alarms telephonically relayed to them by their advanced
wastewater systems. A copy of this log is attached. In this case the alarm on the outside of the
house has been disabled and the alarm within the house notifies the owners of a problem. During
the phone call, the manufacturer noted that one alarm sounded on April 25 because of excessive
water usage. The matter was corrected and no alarms have sounded since. The system is
currently operating as designed and constructed.
At this time the Municipality is waiting for the Corp of Engineers (COE) to decide if the subject
drainage is within their jurisdiction and if so, is it eligible to obtain an `after the fact permit' to
remain in the pipe as it is now or if the water needs to be rerouted to the drainage channel. If the
water is required to be rerouted, special landscaping measures have already been put in place to
protect the drainage channel from wastewater in the unlikely event the system were to
malfunction or fail.
Thank you for your concerns for the surface waters of the Municipality. If you have questions
please call me.
Sincere)
Ron Thmpson, P.E.

Ref: Revisions to Proposed Septic System Design for Broadwater Heights S/D; Lot 14, Block 3,
To whom it may concern:
Your department has recently re -issued issued a permit for a septic system installation at the referenced
property (SW070088). The excavator, Saunders & Saunders went to install the septic system and found
springs within 100 feet of the proposed septic site. It our understanding that the springs were not platted
as creeks, nor identified as wetlands. We notified your department of the condition and proposed
capturing the closest spring in a solid pipe and daylighting it 100 feet from the proposed septic system.
With your department's concurrence, the general contractor's excavator performed this work. The
diversion drain effectively dried-up the closest spring. There are still two springs closer than 100 feet to
the proposed drainficld site. There is a possibility that the Corps of Engineers may direct our client to
restore the spring back to its original drainage pattern and abandoned the diversion drain. If this is the
case, the proposed drainfield will be slightly over 50 feet from the "stream channel"; therefore, we are
requesting a 50 foot waiver to any surface water from the proposed tank and dminfields (both primary and
alternate). The following are mitigating factors for this waiver:
• We are proposing that a berm be constructed downhill from the drainficld so that is any effluent was to
surface, it have to travel over 100 feet to reach any surface waters.
• The springs originate uphill from the proposed septic system and travel away from the proposed
drainficld. It is our opinion that it would be physically impossible for any surfacing effluent to reach
the springs due the topography.
• The area between the proposed drainfield and the existing springs are heavily vegetated.
• The drainfield site is in a very visible arca and will be in close proximity to the house. If effluent was
to surface, the problem would be easily noticeable and would be remedied quickly.
• We are proposing to use a Category III nitrogen removing wastewater system for this installation. The
effluent is highly treated and this system is monitored 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. This insures the
system will operate and be maintained as needed to insure the quality of effluent.
Based upon these items, it is our opinion that there is minimal risk with the granting of this waiver.
As stated previously, we are proposing to use a Category Ill Advantex treatment system. Attached is a
site plan, design drawing and detail drawings showing these revisions to the design. We request the
permit be revised to use this type of system. Based upon the variations of bedrock in the area, we are
requesting that a 4 foot separation distance from the bottom of the proposed drainficld to bedrock table be

granted. Based upon our test hole, the bedrock table is at 5.5 feet in the area of the proposed drainfield.
We are proposing to excavate down a maximum of 2 feet and install 2+ feet of MOA approved sand
filter. This would give us a 5.5 foot separation from the top of the sand filter to the bedrock table based
off the elevation of the bedrock in the test' hole. The following are justification for this waiver:
• We are proposing to use a Category 111 nitrogen removing wastewater system for this installation. The
effluent is highly treated and this system is monitored 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. This insures the
system will operate and be maintained as needed to insure the quality of effluent.
• We are proposing to use a sand filter in the drainfield to insure effluent quality.
• The closest well downhill of the proposed drainfield is 200+ feet away.
Based upon these items, it is our opinion that.there is minimal risk with the granting of this waiver.
We are unaware of any adverse impacts this installation would have on adjacent wells or septic systems.
If you have any questions, please contact us at 337-6179. We greatly appreciate you assistance.

Roth, Dan J.
From: Jeff Garness [Jeff@garnessengineering.com]
Sent: Wednesday, August 15, 200710:07 AM
To: Roth, Dan J.
Subject: Broadwater outfall is dry.
Mr. Roth:
Out of curiosity, I sent one of my staff out to walk the old drainage swale that the now diverted
spring used to run in. It was completely dry. When the wetlands folks were out there mapping it, it was
only about a week after the spring had been diverted; therefore, the old stream channel was still damp.
In short, the diversion was a complete "success ........ and given the current situation............ I use the
term "success" very loosely.
When my staff member was on site, he walked an estimated 400 feet down the drainage swale
("stream feature"?) below the Broadwater pond "discharge" culvert. There was no water at all. He
didn't walk any further downhill because it seemed moot. As stated previously, according to the
neighbor that lives next door to the pond, the culvert only has running water in it about 2-3 weeks in the
Spring. I talked to my client, Mike Schrock and he said he never noticed any water flowing out of the
culvert this spring. I have never seen water running from it. To be conservative, let's assume it
overflows 4 weeks per year, slightly lagging spring break-up.
Per the recent "Rapaonos decision", the fact that the flow is "not relatively permanent" is of
significance. According to COE guidelines post Rapanos,
"a water body is "relatively permanent" if its flow is year round or its flow is continuous at least
"seasonally." (e.g., typically 3 months)."
It is my understanding that ........... if the COE determines somehow that the Eagle River storm
drainage system ties into navigable water, the Broadwater wetland, which is adjacent (non -abutting) to
a "not relatively permanent" tributary (the normally dry drainage swale below the Broadwater culvert),
will likely be subject to a "significant nexus" determination. It is my understanding that they will need to
establish that the Broadwater wetland has significant affect on the chemical, physical, and biological
integrity of a downstream traditional navigable water. Per Justice Kennedy, "The impact must be more
than speculative or insubstantial". I think it will take some extreme desire and very creative writing skills
to establish that the subject wetland (Broadwater Pond) has a substantial impact on the chemical,
physical, and biological integrity of Eagle River.

From: David and Jane Hewko
Re: Wastewater disposal system permitting on Lot 14 Block 3 Broadwater Heights
Subdivision, Eagle River
Timeline:
Early June: Looked for on-site waste water disposal permit on MOA website after Land
Use Permit was posted on Lot 14.
On July 11 David obtained a copy of the June 1 wastewater permit and
noted an attachment stating, "no surface waters within 100 feet of the
proposed septic system.-
June
ystem"
June 11: Excavator located stream across SE corner of Lot 14.
June 21: Stream was diverted into a buried pipe as Gayness Engineering Group, Ltd. and
On -Site had concurred, as stated in the June 27 revision letter to On -Site,
without the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' knowledge or
typical MOA requirements and oversight, such as a hydrology study.
June 25: Jane learned of the diverted stream from conversation with the excavator and S u RI C'Yob
notified On -Site. On -Site reported no knowledge of surface water in thep/n Nd T- PICk u
SE corner. Jane reported a stream flows in the SE corner. w T R,
SuRFpL�
June 27: A stop work order was issued by MOA Watershed Management Division for
working inside the 25 foot stream protection set back and concern regarding
separation distance between the disposal system and the stream.
July 11: Dan Roth told David a meeting was held July 6 and the stop work order was
lifted. Work could continue on the house; work on the septic system was
waiting on a determination from the Corps of Engineers.
The stop work order was lifted July 6 because the "Army Corps of Engineers
issued the owner a permit allowing owner to keep stream piped" To our
knowledge, the Corps has not yet issued this'permit.
July 17: We learned a second waiver for surface water separation and a third for bedrock
A
separation distance were requested in a June 27 letter of revisions to the
proposed septic system. Ron Thompson's July 12 email stated no waiver is
needed for the proposed wastewater disposal site.
July 24: Meeting on Lot 14 including Denis LeBlanc, Dan Roth, Jeff Gayness, Tracy
DeGering, Kristi Cada, Holly Kent, Clair Shirey, David and Jane Hewko.
- Regardless of the Corps'of Engineers' determination, Mr. Roth
would issue the requested waivers for the 100 foot separation from
surface water.
- Mr. Shirey, owner of the adjacent property, stated that he had not given,
nor would he give, permission to enter onto his land to divert the stream
on his property.
- Trespassing occurred at the time of diversion. According to Mr.
LeBlanc, this was a civil matter and of no consequence to the permitting
issue.
August 1, 2005 Julie Makela PE of On -Site stated the 100 foot set back from surface
water requirement was "cast in concrete," no exceptions. Information on Gamess
Engineering Group, Ltd.'s website as of July 1, 2007 states, "The septic system must be
at least 100 feet away from surface water. The MOA will not waive this requirement for
new construction." MOA's policy has been one of no waivers for new construction but
granting, usually with conditions, when upgrading existing systems to ensure a better
system.
MOA has no reason to neglect the protection of the streams. Though it would probably
require a waiver for bedrock separation, the initially identified wastewater site would not
impact the streams. The 100 foot separation requirement could have been met without
compromising the stream or potential development.
A study of these streams should be completed similar to others required by MOA and in
coordination with the Corps of Engineers. An engineer and hydrologist who visited the
site raised the concern that the pipe may be too small and may not contain the stream at
high flow levels, resulting in a "break-out" of the stream with a consequent violation of
the separation distance requirement.
A conflict of interest is apparent in that the Development Services department is granting
waivers to the protection of surface waters. The question has been raised, "Is the
department servicing the developers or the resource?" The Watershed Management
Division and the Environmental Planning Department along with the Corps of Engineers
need to be an integral part of this process to allow development to proceed while
protecting the watershed.
We request that the 100 foot separation between a wastewater disposal site and surface
waters be respected without diverting the stream to ensure protection of the stream,
wetlands, and all downstream resources. In an area without city water and sewer it is
even more critical that we be vigilant to protect the watershed.

Section 329.1 - Purpose
This regulation defines the term "navigable waters of the United States" as it is used to define authorities
of the Corps of Engineers. It also prescribes the policy, practice and procedure to be used in determining
the extent of the jurisdiction of the Corps of Engineers and in answering inquiries concerning "navigable
waters of the United States." This definition docs not apply to authorities under the Clean Water Act
which definitions are described under 33 CFR Parts 323 and. 328.
Section 329.2 - Applicability
This regulation is applicable to all Corps of Engineers districts and divisions having civil works
responsibilities.
Section 329.3 - General policies
Precise definitions of "navigable waters of'the United States" or "navigability" are ultimately dependent
on judicial interpretation and cannot be made conclusively by administrative agencies. However, the
policies and criteria contained in this regulation are in close conformance with the tests used by Federal
courts and determinations matte under this regulation are considered binding in regard to the activities of

Section 329.4 - General definition
Navigable waters of the tJnited States are those waters that are subject to the ebb and flow of the tide
and/or are presently used, or have been used in the past, or may he susceptible for use to transport
interstate or foreign commerce. A determination of navigability, once made, applies laterally over the
entire surface of the waterbody, and is not extinguished by later actions or events which impede or
destroy navigable capacity.
Section 329.5 General scope of determination
The several factors which must be examined when making a determination whether a waterbody is a
navigable water of the tJnited States are discussed in detail below. Generally, the following conditions
must be satisfied:
I. a. Past, present, or potential presence of interstate or foreign commerce;
Physical capabilities for use by commerce as in paragraph (a) of this section; and
c. Defined geographic limits of the waterbody.
Section 329.6 - Interstate or foreign commerce
a. Nature of commerce: type, means, and extent of use. The types of commercial use of a waterway
are extremely varied and will depend an the character of the region, its products, and the
difficulties or dangers of navigation. It is the waterbody's capability of use by the public for
purposes of transportation of commerce which is the determinative factor, and not the time, extent
or manner of that use. As discussed in Section 329.9 of this Part, it is sufficient to establish the
potential for commercial use at any past, present, or future time. Thus, sufficient commerce may
be shown by historical use of canoes, bateaux, or other frontier craft, as long as that type of boat
was common or well-suited to the place and period. Similarly, the particular items ot'commerce
may vary widely, depending again on the region and period. The goods involved might be grain,
furs, or other commerce of the time. Logs are a common example; transportation of logs has been
a substantial and well-recognized commercial use of many navigable waters of the United States.
Note, however, that the mere presence of floating logs will not of itself make the river
"navigable"; the logs must have been related to a commercial venture. Similarly, the presence of
recreational craft may indicate that a waterbody is capable of hearing some forms of commerce,
either presently, in the future, or at a past point in time.
b. Nature -of commerce: interstate and intrastate. Interstate commerce may of course be existent on
an intrastate voyage which occurs only between places within the same state. It is only necessary
that goods may be brought from, or eventually be -destined to go to, another state. (For purposes of
this regulation, the term "interstate commerce" hereinafter includes "foreign commerce" as well.)
Section 329.7 - Intrastate or interstate nature of waterway

N o . 9 6 7 8 P. 3
Page .i of 8
A waterbody may be entirely within a state, yet still he capable of carrying interstate commerce. This is
especially clear when it physically connects with a generally acknowledged avenue of interstate
commerce, such as the ocean or one of the Great Lakes, and is yet wholly within one state. Nor is it
necessary that there be a physically navigable connection across a state boundary. Where a waterbody
extends through one or more states, but substantial portions, which are capable of bearing interstate
commerce, are located in only one of the states, the cntirety of the waterway up to the head (upper limit)
of navigation is subject to Federal jurisdiction.
Section 329.8 - Improved or natural conditions of the waterbody
Determinations are not limited to the natural or original condition of the waterbody. Navigability may
also be found where artificial aids have been or may be used to make the waterbody suitable fir use in
navigation.
it. Existing improvements: artificial waterbodies.
1. An artificial channel may often constitute a navigable water of the United States, even
though it has been privately developed and maintained, or passes through private property.
The test is generally as developed above, that is, whether the waterbody is capable of use to
transport interstate commerce. Canals which connect two navigable waters of the United
States and which are used for commerce clearly fall within the test, and themselves become
navigable. A canal open to navigable waters of the United States on only one end is itself
navigable where it in fact supports interstate commerce. A canal or other artificial
waterbody that is subject to ebb and flow or the tide is also a navigable water of the United
States.
2. 'ilic artificial waterbody maybe a major portion of a river or harbor area or merely a minor
backwash, slip, or turning area (see paragraph 329.12(b) of this Part).
3. Private ownership of the lands underlying the waterbody, or of the lands through which it.
runs, does not preclude a finding of navigability. Ownership does become a controlling
factor il'a privately constructed and operated canal is not used to transport interstate
commerce nor used by the public; it is then not considered to be a navigable water of' the
United States. However, a private waterbody, even though not itself navigable, may so
affect the navigable capacity of nearby waters as to nevertheless be subject to certain
regulatory authorities.
b. Non -existing improvements, past or potential. A waterbody may also be considered navigable
depending on the feasibility of use to transport interstate commerce after the construction of
whatever "reasonable" improvements may potentially be made. The improvement need not exist,
be planned, nor even authorized; it is enough that potentially they could be made. What is a
"reasonable" improvement is always a matter of degree; there must be a balance between cost and
need at a time when the improvement would be (or would have been) useful. 'Thus, if an
improvement were "reasonable" at a time of past use, the water was therefore navigable in law
from that time forward. The changes in engineering practices or the coming or new industries with
varying classes of freight may alTect the type of the improvement; those which may be entirely
reasonable in a thickly populated, highly developed industrial region may have been entirely too
costly for the same region in the days of the pioneers. The determination of reasonable
improvement is often similar to the cost analyses presently made in Corps of Engineers studies.

Section 329.9 - Time at which commerce exists or determination is made
a. Past use. A watcrbody which was navigable in its natural or improved state, or which was
susceptible ofreasonable improvement (as discussed in paragraph 329.8(b) of this Part) retains its
character as "navigable in law" even though it is not presently used for commerce, or is presently
incapable of such use because of changed conditions or the presence of obstructions. Nor does
absence of use because of changed economic conditions affect the legal character of the
waterbody. Once having attained the character of "navigable in law," the Federal authority
remains in existence, and cannot be abandoned by administrative officers or court action. Nor is
mere inattention or ambiguous action by Congress an abandotunent of federal control. However,
express statutory declarations by Congress that described portions of a waterbody are non -
navigable, or have been abandoned, are binding upon the Department of the Army. F.ach statute
must be carefully examined, since Congress often reserves the power to amend the Act, or assigns
special duties of supervision and control to the Secretary of the Army or Chief of Engineers.
b. Future or potential use. Navigability may also be found in a waterbody's susceptibility for use in
its ordinary condition or by reasonable improvement to transport interstate commerce. This may
be either in its natural or improved condition, and may thus be existent although there has been no
actual use to date. Non-use in the past therefore does not prevent recognition or the potential for
future use.
Section 329.10 - Existence of obstructions
A stream may be navigable despite the existence of falls, rapids, sand bars, bridges, portages, shifting
currents, or similar obstructions. Thus, a waterway in its original condition might have had substantial
obstructions which were overcome by frontier boats and/or portages, and nevertheless be a "channel" of
commerce, even though boats had to be removed from the Aater in some stretches, or logs be brought
around an obstruction by means of artificial chutes. However, the question is ultimately a matter of
degree, and it must be recognized that there is some point beyond which navigability could not be
established.
Section 329.11 - Geographic and jurisdictional limits of rivers and lakes
a. Jurisdiction over entire bed. Federal regulatory jurisdiction, and powers of improvement for
navigation, extend laterally to the entire water surface and bed of a navigable waterbody, which
includes all the land and waters below the ordinary high water mark. Jurisdiction thus extends to
the edge (as determined above) of all such waterbodis, even though portions of the waterbody
may be extremely shallow, or obstructed by shoals, vegetation or other barriers. Marshlands and
similar areas are thus considered navigable in law, but only so far as the area is subject to
inundation by the ordinary high waters.
1. The "ordinary high watermark" on non -tidal rivers is the line on the shore established by
the fluctuations of water and indicated by physical characteristics such as a clear, natural
line impressed on the bank; shelving; changes in the character of soil; destruction of
terrestrial vegetation.; the presence of litter and debris; or other appropriate means that
consider the characteristics of the surrounding areas.

2. Ownership of a river or lake bed or of the lands between high and low water marks will
vary according to state law; however, private ownership of the underlying lands has no
bearing on the existence or extent of the dominant Federal jurisdiction over a navigable
r' waterbody.
b. Upper limit of navigability. The character of a river will, at some point along its length, change
from navigable to non-navicable. Very often that point will be at a major fall or rapids, or other
place where there it a marked decrease in the navigable capacity of the river. The upper limit will
therefore often be the same point traditionally recognized as the head of navigation, but may,
under some of the tests described above, be at some point yet farther upstream.
Section 329.12 -
Geographic and jurisdictional limits of oceanic and tidal waters
a. Ocean and coastal waters. The navigable waters of the United States over which Corps of
Engineers regulatory jurisdiction extends include all ocean and coastal waters within a zone three
geographic (nautical) miles seaward From the baseline (The Territorial Seas). Wider sones are
recognized for special regulatory powers exercised over the outer continental shelf. (See 33 CPR
322.3(b)).
1. Baseline defined. Generally, where the shore directly contacts the open sea, the line on the
shore reached by the ordinary low tides comprises the baseline from which the distance of
three geographic miles is measured. The baseline has significance for both domestic and
international law and is subject to precise definitions. Special problems arise when offshore
rocks, islands, or other bodies exist, and the baseline may have to be drawn seaward of such
bodies.
2. Shoreward limit of jurisdiction. Regulatory jurisdiction in coastal areas extends to the lune
on th.e shore reached by the plane of the mean (average) high water. Where precise
determination of the actual location of the line becomes necessary, it must be established by
survey with reference to the available tidal datum, preferably averaged over a period of"! 8.6
years. Less precise methods, such as observation of the "apparent shoreline" which is
determined by reference to physical markings, lines of vegetation, or changes in type of
vegetation, may be used only where an estimate is needed of the line reached by the mean
high water.
b. Bays and estuaries. regulatory jurisdiction extends to the entire surface and bed of all
waterbodics subject to tidal action. Jurisdiction thus extends to the edge (as determined by
paragraph (a)(2) of this section) of all such waterbodies, even though portions of the waterbody
may he extremely shallow, or obstructed by shoals, vegetation, or other barriers. Marshlands and
similar areas are thus considered "navigable in law," but only so far as the area is subject to
inundation by the mean high waters. The relevant test is therefore the presence of the mean high
tidal waters, and not the general test described above, which generally applies to inland rivers and
lakes.
Section 329.13 - Geographic limits: shifting boundaries
Permanent changes of the shoreline configuration result in similar alterations of the boundaries of the

navigable waters of the United States. Thus, gradual changes which are due to natural causes and are
perceptible only over some period or time constitute changes in the bed of a waterbody which also
change the shoreline boundaries of the navigable waters of the United States. however, an area will
remain "navigable in law," even though no longer covered with water, whenever the change has
occurred suddenly, or was caused by artificial farces intended to produce that change. For example,
shifting sand bars within a river or estuary remain part of the navigable water of the United States,
regardless that they may be dry at a particular point in time.
Section 329.14 - Determination of navigability
a. Effect on determinations. Although conclusive determinations of navigability can be made only
by federal Courts, those made by federal agencies are nevertheless accorded substantial weight by
the courts. It is therefore necessary that when jurisdictional questions arise, district personnel
carefully investigate those waters which may be subject to Federal regulatory. jurisdiction under
guidelines set out above, as the resulting determination may have substantial impacvt upon a
judicial body. Official determinations by an agency made in the past can be revised or reversed as
necessary to reflect changed rules or interpretations of the law.
b. Procedures of detcrmination. A determination whether a waterbody is a navigable water of the
United States will be made by the division engineer, and will be based on a report of findings
prepared at the district level in accordance with the criteria set out in this regulation. Each report
of findings will be prepared by the district engineer, accompanied by an opinion of the district
counsel, and lorwarded to the division engineer for final determination. Each report of findings
will be based substantially on applicable portions of the liormat in paragraph (c) of this section.

Section 329.15 - Inquiries regarding determinations
a. Findings and determinations should be made whenever a question arises regarding the
navigability of a waterbody. Where no determination has been made, a report of findings will be
prepared and forwarded to the division engineer, as described above. Inquiries may be answered
by an interim reply which indicates that a final agency determination must be made by the
division engineer. If a need develops for an emergency determination, district engineers may act
in reliance on a finding prepared as in Section 329.14 of this Part. The report of findings should
then be forwarded to the division engineer on an expedited basis.
b. Where determinations have been made by the division engineer, inquiries regarding the
navigability of specific portions of watcrbodics covered by these determinations may be answered
as follows:
This Department, in the administration of the laws enacted by Congress ibr the
protection and preservation of the navigable waters of the United States, has
determined that (River) (Bay) (Lake, etc.) is a navigable water of the United States
(Tom mile to mile. Actions which modify or otherwise affect those waters are subject
to the jurisdiction of this Department, whether such actions occur within or outside
the navigable areas.
c. Specific inquiries regarding the jurisdiction of the Corps of Engineers can be answered only after
a determination whether
1. the waters are navigable waters of the United States or
2. if not navigable, whether the proposed type of activity may nevertheless so affect the
navigable waters of the United States that the assertion of regulatory ,jurisdiction is deemed
necessary.

Section 329.16 - Use and maintenance of lists of determinations.
a. Tabulated lists of final determinations of navigability are to be maintained in each district office,
and be updated as necessitated by court decisions, jurisdictional inquiries, or other changed
conditions.
b. It should be noted that the lists represent only those waterbodies for which determinations have
been made; absence from that list should not be taken as an indication that the waterbody is not
navigable.
c. Deletions from the list are not authorized. If a change in status of a waterbody from navigable to
non -navigable is deemed necessary, an updated finding should be forwarded to the division
engineer; changes are not considered final until a determination has been made by the division
engineer.

Engineer's Comments:
In conducting this evaluation, GEG, ED. attempted to provide a thorough,
conscientious engineering analysis of the system In accordance with ADEC and MOA
DSD Guidelines d Regulations. The reported results described the performance of the
system under the conditions encountered at the time of the lost, and separation
distances measured to readily identifiable features. The operational life of all wells and
septic systems depend on the local soils condition, groundwater levels that may
fluctuate during the year, and the water usage of the family being served by the system.
These conditions are outside the control of the evaluator of the system. Satisfactory test
results do not guarantee future performance ofthe system, nor do they guarantee that
there are no hidden defects or encroachments. GEG, LTD. can therefore not provide
any warranty or future estimate of how long the system will continue to meet the
operational requirements of the ADEC or MOA DSD. The content of this report is for
the sole benefit of the owner listed above. Any reliance upon or use of this report by any
other persoq� �rQjjy Is not authorized, nor will it confer any legal right whatsoever.
