We have reviewed information about your permit application to place fill material in
192 square feet of wetlands for the purpose of constructing a monopole billboard footing. The
project site is in the NW 1/4 of the NW 1/4 Sec. 6, T. 120N., R. 23W., Wright County,
Minnesota.
Department of the Army Regional General Permit-03-MN (RGP-03-MN) provides
authorization under section 404 of the Clean Water Act for certain categories of activities
involving the discharge of dredged or fill material into waters of the U.S. We have determined
that the described work is authorized by (RGP-03-MN), provided the attached Standard
Conditions and the following special conditions are followed:
1. The permittee shall restore the original grades and immediately mulch all disturbed
areas once construction is complete. The excavated area including the area excavated for the
utilities will then be restored to existing grade level. All areas damaged by equipment will also
be restored to the existing grades and all excess material shall be hauled away off site. Seeding
in the area shall be accomplished in the spring of the following year. Seed to be utilized shall be
Minnesota State Seed Mix 34-271 certified weed free mulch.
This determination covers only the project as described above. If the design, location, or
purpose of the project is changed, our office should be contacted to make sure the work would
not result in a violation of Federal law.
If your project will require off -site fill material that is not obtained from a licensed
commercial facility, you must notify us at least five working days before start of work. A
cultural resources survey may be required if a licensed commercial facility is not used.
This General Permit is valid until August 2, 2011, unless modified, reissued, or revoked.
The time limit for completing the work described above ends on that day, OR two years from the
date of this letter, whichever occurs later. It is the permittee's responsibility to remain informed
of changes to the General Permit program. If this authorized work is not undertaken within the
above time period, or the project specifications have changed, our office must be contacted to
determine the need for further approval or re -verification.

It is the permittee's responsibility to ensure that the work complies with the terms of this

A preliminary jurisdictional determination (JD) has been prepared for the site of your
project. The preliminary JD is not appealable. If you wish, you may request an approved JD
(which may be appealed), by contacting the Corps representative identified in the final paragraph

reevaluate the JD. If this JD is acceptable, please sign and date both copies of the Preliminary
