Dear Mr. Anderson:
Thank you for your letter of February 4, 1994, concerning a prop~al to develop a 25
acre tract of hncl near Denton Creek in the city of Coppell, Texas. This iproject has be, on
assigned Project Number 199300675. Please include this number in all furore
correspondence concerning this project. Failure to refereuce the project aumber may result
in a delay.
We have reviewed this project in accordance with Section 404 of the Clean Water Act
and Section I0 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899. Under Section 404, the U. S. Army
Corps of N. ngirleers regulates the discharge of dredged and fill material into waters of tll=
United States, including wetlands. Our responsibility under Section 10 is to regulate any
work in, or affecting, navigable waters of the United States. Based on your description of
the proposed work, and other information available to us, we have determined that this
project will not involve activities subject to the requiremems of Section 10. However, this
project will involve activities subject to the rextuimments of Section 404. Therefore, it will
require Department of the Army authorization.
We have determined that this project is authorized by nationwide permit 26 for
Headwaters and Isolated Waters Discharges. To use t~s permit, the person responsible for
the project must ensure that th-~ wol'k is in compliance with the specifications and conditions
listed on th~ enclosure. Failure to comply with these specifications and conditions invalidates
the authorization and may result in a violation of the Clean Water Act.
