Based upon the information presented in the report, a site visit on March 25, 2021, and additional information submitted upon request, we concur with the wetland and waterway boundaries as mapped in Figure 7a, 7b, and 7c of the report. Please replace all copies of the preliminary wetland maps with these final Department-approved maps. Within the study area, one wetland (Wetland A, totaling approximately 0.47 acres) and one water (Hermanson Pond) were identified. They are subject to the permit requirements of the state Removal-Fill Law. Under current regulations, a state permit is required for cumulative fill or annual excavation of 50 cubic yards or more in wetlands or below the ordinary high-water line (OHWL) of the waterway (or the 2-year recurrence interval flood elevation if OHWL cannot be determined). This concurrence is for purposes of the state Removal-Fill Law only. We recommend that you attach a copy of this concurrence letter to any subsequent state permit application to speed application review. Federal or local permit requirements may apply as well. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will determine jurisdiction under the Clean Water Act, which may require submittal of a complete Wetland Delineation Report. Please be advised that state law establishes a preference for avoidance of wetland impacts. Because measures to avoid and minimize wetland impacts may include reconfiguring parcel layout and size or development design, we recommend that you work with Department staff on appropriate site design before completing the city or county land use approval process. ---PAGE BREAK--- This concurrence is based on information provided to the agency. The jurisdictional determination is valid for five years from the date of this letter unless new information necessitates a revision. Circumstances under which the Department may change a determination are found in OAR [PHONE REDACTED] (available on our web site or upon request). In addition, laws enacted by the legislature and/or rules adopted by the Department may result in a change in jurisdiction; individuals and applicants are subject to the regulations that are in effect at the time of the removal-fill activity or complete permit application. The applicant, landowner, or agent may submit a request for reconsideration of this determination in writing within six months of the date of this letter. Thank you for having the site evaluated. If you have any questions, please contact the Jurisdiction Coordinator for Marion County, Daniel Evans, PWS, at (503) 986-5271.
