Tudor Road, Suite 101 Anchorage, Alaska 99507 Dear Mr. Rob Campbell: This is in response to your June 25, 2012, request for a jurisdictional determination for a 0.78 -acre parcel of land described as Pennington Park. It has been assigned number POA -2012-524, which should be referred to in all correspondence with us. The project site is located within Section 10, T. 11, N., R. 3 W., Seward Meridian; USGS Quad Map Anchorage Ar8; Latitude 61.0628230 N., Longitude -149.776900° W.; Pennington Subdivision, Block 3, Lot 4; Municipality of Anchorage Parcel no. 02018131, in Anchorage, Alaska. Based on our review of the information you furnished and available to us and our July 13, 2012, site visit, we have determined the above property does not contain waters of the U.S. under the Corps` regulatory jurisdiction. However, there is approximately 85 feet of stream channel along the north side of the property that is jurisdictional, as it is a tributary to the Little Survival Creek. These waters of the U.S. are shown on the enclosed drawing prepared by the Corps of Engineers and dated August 28, 2012. A copy of the Approved Jurisdictional Determination form is available at http://www.poa.usace.army.mil/reg/ApprovedJDs.htm under the above file number. This approved jurisdictional determination is valid for five (5) years from the date of this letter, unless new information supporting a revision is provided to us before the expiration date. Enclosed is a Notification of Administrative Appeal Options and Process and Request for Appeal form (see section titled "Approved Jurisdictional Determination"). DA authorization is required if you propose to place dredged and/or fill material and/or perform work into the tributary of Little Survival Creek mentioned above. You can refer to our website at http://www.poa.usace.army.mil/reg/PermitApp.ht for more details on our permit application process. Section 404 of the Clean Water Act requires that a DA permit be obtained for the placement or discharge of dredged and/or fill material into waters of the U.S., including jurisdictional wetlands (33 U.S.C. 1344). The Corps defines wetlands as those areas that are inundated or saturated by surface or groundwater at a frequency and duration sufficient to support, and under http://www.poa.usace.army.mil/reg/ -2 - normal circumstances do support, a prevalence of vegetation typically adapted for life in saturated soil conditions. Nothing in this letter excuses you from compliance with other Federal, State, or local statutes, ordinances, or regulations. Please contact me via email at Estrella.f.campellone@usace.army.mil, by mail or at the address above, by phone at (907) 753-2518, if you have questions.
