?Groundwater seeps - wetlands at the base of steep slopes where the groundwater surface intersects with the land surface.

?Dune depressional wetlands - wetlands in shallow depressions that have no significant outflows but receive runoff from the surrounding land, located between sandy ridges in northeast Arkansas and southeast Missouri. These wetlands often support pondberry (Lindera melissifolia), a federally-listed endangered plant.

?CACHE RIVER and ADJACENT WETLANDS from the mouth upstream to AR Highway 18 near Grubbs

Regional Condition No. 3. Mining activities in navigable waters designated by the Corps of Engineers within the State of Arkansas shall require an individual Department of the Army permit or authorization by a regional general permit. These activities will not be authorized by NWP 44.

The application will be coordinated with the Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality and other agencies as appropriate. This condition doesn't lessen the restrictions provided by General Condition 17 of the NWPs.
