Commenters are requested to furnish a copy of their comments to the Missouri Department of Natural Resources, P.O. Box 176, Jefferson City, Missouri 65102. APPLICANT: Dale Hughes 19120 Whispering Timber Drive Wildwood, Missouri 63069 PROJECT LOCATION (As shown on the attached drawings): The project is located on an unnamed tributary to Labadie Creek in Section 12, Township 43 north, Range 1 east, Franklin County, Missouri. [Latitude: 38.484568 -- Longitude -90.861626 ­ Gray Summit]. AUTHORITY: Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 USC 1344). ACTIVITY (As shown on the attached drawings): Proposed ­ The applicant proposes to construct a new private impoundment on an unnamed tributary to Labadie Creek, which flows into the lower Missouri River. The applicant states that the project will require the placement of approximately 110,250 cubic yards of fill material for the construction of an earthen dam. The dam will measure approximately 850 feet long by 371 feet wide (at the base) by 56 feet high. A geotechnical study will establish the required embankment slopes that will have a factor of safety required by the Missouri Dam and Reservoir Safety Council of the Missouri Department of Natural Resources. Approximately 26.5 acres of water will be impounded behind the dam at full pool. The dam will contain a 5-foot-square concrete inlet box connected to a smooth steel spillway pipe, along with an emergency spillway. The purpose, as stated by the applicant, is to construct a private lake for water-based recreation, swimming, fishing, and wildlife management, and improve the property for a single-family dwelling. WETLANDS/AQUATIC HABITAT: Approximately 345 linear feet of intermittent/ephemeral stream channel will be filled during construction of the earthen dam. At full pool the dam will create an impoundment that will inundate approximately 2,202 linear feet of the stream channel.

APPLICANT'S STATEMENT OF AVOIDANCE, MINIMIZATION, AND COMPENSATORY MITIGATION FOR UNAVOIDABLE IMPACTS TO AQUATIC RESOURCES: The applicant is proposing to mitigate for unavoidable impacts to the stream by purchasing stream mitigation credits from a Corps' approved mitigation bank or in-lieu fee provider. Mitigation credits will be calculated using the Missouri Stream Mitigation Method.

The discharge must be certified before a Department of the Army permit can be issued. Certification, if issued, expresses the state's opinion that the discharge will not violate applicable water quality standards. PUBLIC INTEREST REVIEW: The decision to issue a permit will be based on an evaluation of the probable impact including the cumulative impacts of the proposed activity on the public interest. That decision will reflect the national concern for both protection and utilization of important resources. The benefits which reasonably may be expected to accrue from the proposal must be balanced against its reasonably foreseeable detriments. All factors which may be relevant to the proposal will be considered including the cumulative effects thereof; among those are conservation, economics, esthetics, general environmental concerns, wetlands, cultural values, fish and wildlife values, flood hazards, floodplain values, land use, navigation, shoreline erosion and accretion, recreation, water supply and conservation, water quality, energy needs, safety, food and fiber production, mineral needs and, in general, the needs and welfare of the people. The evaluation of the impact of the activity on the public interest will include

application of the guidelines promulgated by the Administrator, Environmental Protection Agency under authority of Section 404(b) of the Clean Water Act (33 USC 1344). The Corps of Engineers is soliciting comments from the public; Federal, state, and local agencies and officials; Indian Tribes; and other interested parties in order to consider and evaluate the impacts of this proposed activity. Any comments received will be considered by the Corps of Engineers to determine whether to issue, modify, condition or deny a permit for this proposal.

Comments are used in preparation of an Environmental Assessment and/or an Environmental Impact Statement pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act. Comments are also used to determine the need for a public hearing and to determine the overall public interest of the proposed activity.
