Case 1: Holden Conner Realty - Request for Review of Permit Denial. Shelly Evans, agent for Holden Conner Realty, requested on February 24, 2004, a review of the Memphis District's decision to deny their proposed conversion of a two-acre wetland site to agriculture use. The Mississippi Valley Division (MVD) decided on September 1, 2004, that Mr. Conner's appeal is without merit. Refer to MVD's webpage for additional details. http://www.mvd.usace.army.mil/mvd_appeals/appeal.htm
Case 2: Holden-Conner Properties - Request for Jurisdictional Appeal. On October 3, 2003, Lucie Brackin, agent for Holden-Conner Properties, requested an appeal of a jurisdictional determination. The applicant contends that two wetland areas, totaling approximately 9.8 acres, are isolated and not subject to Corps jurisdiction. The project site is located in Woodruff County, Arkansas. On June 8, 2004, the Mississippi Valley Division (MVD) remanded the case to the Memphis District to complete a jurisdiction determination (JD) on Mr. Conner's property in question. The District relied on a determination by NRCS that the areas are wetlands. After a site review on July 26, 2004, the District determined the extent of wetlands as determined by NRCS is correct. The applicant was advised by letter of August 31, 2004, that this determination completed the appeal procedure.
