DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY <br />ST PAUL DISTRICT. CORPS OF ENGINEERS <br />180 E KELLOGG BLVD., ROOM 1421 <br />ST PAUL. MINNESOTA 55101.1479 <br />April 7, 1992 <br />REPLY TO <br />ATTENTION OF <br />Construction- Operations <br />Regulatory (92- 03547- NP -JJY) <br />John Low and Associates <br />Attention: John Low <br />300 Industrial Boulevard Northeast <br />Minneapolis, Minnesota 55413 <br />Dear Mr. Low: <br />We have reviewed the information provided us about a project to build a <br />house (the Joe Francis house) and regrade Lot 2, Block 3, Lake Gervais <br />Peninsula, in the NE 1/4 NE 1/4 Sec. 8, T. 29 N., R. 22 W., Ramsey County, <br />Minnesota. <br />We have not inspected the site, but none of the wetland inventory maps, <br />the soil survey map, or other sources suggest that any wetlands are on the <br />site. It is possible that some of the site may have been wetland previously <br />but has since been filled, although none seem to have survived. (Even if a <br />small wetland remnant was on the lot, the small amount of fill would be <br />authorized under a nationwide permit.) <br />The work proposed at the location stated is not within the regulatory <br />jurisdiction of the Corps of Engineers. No work will be done in a navigable <br />water of the United States, and no dredged or fill material will be placed in <br />any water of the United States, including wetlands. Therefore, a Department <br />of the Army permit is not required to do this work. <br />This letter is valid only for the project referenced above. If any <br />change in design, location, or purpose is contemplated, contact this office to <br />avoid doing work that may be in violation of Federal law. PLEASE NOTE THAT <br />THIS CONFIRMATION LETTER DOES NOT ELIMINATE THE NEED FOR STATE, LOCAL, OR <br />OTHER AUTHORIZATIONS, SUCH AS THOSE OF THE DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES OR <br />COUNTY. <br />If you have any questions, contact Joe Yanta in our St. Paul office at <br />(612) 220 -0362. <br />Sincerely, <br />' :r <br />Bken A. W`' <br />ogat, <br />Chief, Regulatory Branch <br />Construction- Operations Division <br />Page •13 <br />
