Highway 96 St. Paul, Minnesota 55112 Dear Mr. Faraci: OCT 17 1995 CITY OF LITTLE CANADA This letter is in response to your August 16, 1985 letter regarding the proposed site plan for a baseball field in the city of Little Canada, Minnesota. The proposed project would involve the placement of fill in a wetland area, which constitutes 45 percent of the proposed 19.53 acre site, including Gervais Creek. This activity falls within the jurisdiction of the Corps of Engineers, as it involves discharge of fill material in waters /wetlands of the United States. We have determined that the project is eligible for authorization under an existing nationwide permit, 330.5 (a)(26)(i), provided the work is done in compliance with the management practices described in the enclosure. I would authorize your project within the scope of the nationwide permit if you comply with the following conditions described in the next paragraph. You are required to create a pond /wetland area of approximately 1.1 acres in the location shown on the enclosed map. Specifications for the pond are as follows: - Side slopes of 4 :1 to 5:1 - Irregular bottom elevation - Convoluted shoreline as shown on neap - Depth to be 2 to 4 feet All slope% shall be seeded with suitable wetland vegetation: i.e., cattail, bullrush, etc. Reed canary grass will not be acceptable. Should you require assistance in designing the pond area, a site inspection can be arranged. Please contact Leesa Beal at (612) 725 -7557 or Jerry Smith, at 725 -7795 for further information.
