Dear Mr. Day:
?
On July 21, 1992, the New York District of the u.S. Army
Corps of Engineers received a request for a Department of the
Army jurisdictional determination for the above referenced
project. This request was made by Mark A. Day, as consultant for
Elizabeth Laufer. The site consists of approximately 56.4 acres,
in the Town of Wappinger, Dutchess County, New York. The
proposed project involves the construction of a golf driving
range to be called Wappinger Golf Park.
In the letter received on July 21, 1992, your office
submitted a proposed delineation of the extent of the wetlands on
the site. A site inspection was conducted by representatives of
this office on July 12, 1993, in which it was agreed that changes
would be made to the delineation and that the modified
delineation would be submitted by the applicant. On September
10, 1993, this office received t?e modified delineation.
Based on the material submitted and the observations of the
representatives of this office during the site visit, it has been
determined that the drawing entitled "Special Use Permit -
Wappinger Golf Park", prepared by Barger, Day & Oswald, dated
July 8, 1993, and last revised August 19, 1993, appears to be an
accurate depiction of the extent of the waters of the United
States on the subject site. This drawing indicates that there is
one principal wetland area on the project site. The wetland runs
basically down the center of the property and is approximately
34.5 acres. Additional waters of the United States on site
include a stream that runs along the southwest border of the
property. These waters of the United States are considered to be
above the headwaters. This determination regarding the
delineation shall be considered valid for a period of three years
from the date of this letter.

It is strongly recommended that the development of the site
be carried out in such a manner as to avoid as much as possible
the discharge of dredged or fill material into the delineated
waters of the United States. If the activities proposed for the
site involve such discharges, authorization from this office may
be necessary prior to the initiation of the proposed work. The
extent of such discharge of fill will determine the level of
authorization that would be required.
If any questions should arise concerning this matter, please
contact Brian A. Orzel, of my staff, at (212) 264-0183.
Sincerely,
?
