Corp of Engineer Waterways, Dredging Allowed? Options

[Tom-ia]

I am wondering about the rules or regs for dredging on waterways controlled by the Army Corp of Engineers. There are several here, including the Missouri River, and some smaller rivers and creeks who are under their control for flood control reasons. Does anyone have any links to the Corps rules or regs I can look at?

Here is a copy of the email I sent after talking with Terry on the phone, and the letter I got back.

Hi Terry,
Thank you for taking the time to address our event.

What we would like to do is have several demonstrations (3-6) running in Clear Creek.
Our event will be held at the Argo Mine and Mill in Idaho Springs, June 25-27, 2004.
6th PM-T3S-R73W-Sec 36, Clear Creek County, Colorado.

This event is free to attend and being held as an educational demonstration of the modern day, environmentally sound, small scale equipment used today.
All the demonstration units (power sluices) to be used will be a 4" intake or less.
There will be no alterations to the creek bank nor the tailings piles located on the site.

We will also have vending and games etc during the three day period.
The patented claim owners at the Argo have generously allowed us to hold this event on their claim.
The claim stops at the midpoint of the creek so we will also take this oppurtunity to demonstrate that rafting and other casual uses can occur at the same time on the same part of the creek.

I have attatched a file of the promotional flyer for the event.
Feel free to contact me for additional info if needed.

And the attatched image is the letter I received in response.
