You propose to construct arterial drains for the purpose of draining field water. The drains would be located in the NE% of Section 20, Township 142 North, Range 49 West, Cass County, North Dakota (location map attached). Based on the information you provided to this office, it has been determined your project, as presently designed, would be accomplished above Section 404 jurisdictional boundaries. Therefore, a Section 404 permit would not be required for this project as proposed. However, should future plans involve a discharge of fill into waters of the United States, a Department of the Army permit may be required. The fact that a Section 404 permit is not required does not relieve you of the obligation to obtain required approvals from other agencies that may have regulatory jurisdiction over this project. Should you have any questions regarding this determination, please do not hesitate to contact this office by letter or telephone (701)-255-0015 and reference project number 199961049.
