Permit Application Public Notices

Public involvement is a key element of the Corps’ permit review process. During an application review, the USACE, Regulatory Division considers the views of other federal, state and local agencies, Native American tribes, interest groups, and the general public. The results of this careful public interest review are fair and equitable decisions that allow reasonable use of private property, infrastructure development, and growth of the economy, while offsetting the authorized impacts to the waters of the United States. This is accomplished through the posting of a Public Notice on the USACE, Regulatory Division's website and soliciting comments.

The USACE, Regulatory Division publishes monthly a list of individual permits issued, denied, or pending during the previous month. The list will identify each action by public notice number, name of applicant, and brief description of activity involved. It will also note the relevant environmental documents and the Statements of Findings (SOF) or Records of Decision (ROD) that are available upon written request through the FOIA process and, where applicable, upon the payment of administrative fees.

    Jeff Savage, Offshore Systems, Inc., 12019 76th Place NE, Kirkland, WA 98034 states the purpose is to expand the pad area at the existing marine cargo dock in order to increase cargo-handling efficiency and safety, and for staging additional cargo volume. The applicant proposes to discharge 17,000 cubic yards of shot rock fill and riprap into 0.65-acres below the high tide line (HTL; 5.2 feet above the 0.0-foot contour) of Captains Bay, a navigable water of the United States. The proposed work includes the excavation and dredging of the existing riprap located along the fill slope. Excavated rock would be temporarily staged on the pad. Approximately 850 cubic yards of existing riprap would be salvaged and used in the proposed fill slope. The proposed work is expected to take place between September and November 2023. The placement of rock fill material would be completed using standard heavy equipment including end-dumps, side-dumps, excavators, dozers, and compactors. Riprap placement would be completed using excavators and cranes. The excavation and placement of rock fill below the HTL would be done during low tidal stages as practicable. The project site is located within Section 21, T. 73 S., R. 118 W., Seward Meridian; USGS Quad Map Unalaska C-2 SW; Latitude 53.8414° N, Longitude 166.5826° W; at the existing OSI Dock Facility, Mile 4.5 of Captains Bay Road, Dutch Harbor, Unalaska, Alaska.

The proposed concrete wall would be 200 feet along the waterfront and terminate into the upland area. The seawall bottom would be at Mean High Water (MHW) line and the top at 23 feet elevation. Approximately 3,000 cubic yards of unsuitable soil and 9,400 cubic yards of rock would be excavated from the lot’s uplands. The total fill would be approximately 600 cubic yards and would come from blasting the existing rock on site. A small ramp would be constructed to allow access to the sandy beach below for recreational use. The project site is located within Section 29, T. 74 S., R. 90 E., Copper River Meridian; USGS Quad Map Ketchikan B-6; Latitude 55.4242° N, Longitude 131.7809° W; Rocky Point Subdivision USS 2804, Lot 12; 10309 Rocky Point Drive, 3.5 miles northwest of Ward Cove, near Ketchikan, Alaska.

    Ms. Keri Iles, Hilcorp North Slope, LLC, 3800 Centerpoint Drive, Suite 1400, Anchorage, Alaska 99503 states that the purpose is “the current pipeline and header system limit the capacity to produce economic wells at L, V, W, and Z pads. The purpose of this project is to improve flow from EWE [Eileen West End] Junction to GC2 [Gathering Center 2] through the installation new production and new gas lift line. The new EWE pipelines will reduce existing constraints and improve capacity for the pursuit of economic wells at these pads.” Hilcorp North Slope, LLC (Hilcorp) is proposing the installation of two new pipelines between Gathering Center 2 (GC2) and Eileen West End (EWE) located in the Western operating area of the Prudhoe Bay unit. The two pipelines as proposed will be approximately 35,000 feet long with one pipeline being 30 inches in diameter and the second pipeline being 14 inches in diameter and would be placed on a combination of new and existing vertical support members and horizontal support members. In addition to the installation of two new pipelines a pad expansion will be required at EWE junction to support pipeline tie-in infrastructure. The project as proposed will cumulatively discharge up to 13,000 cubic yards of clean gravel material from Kuparuk Mine Site C and supplemented with clean reclaimed gravel material from the Kuparuk River and 2,000 cubic yards of a sand/slurry mixture impacting 1.4 acres of palustrine emergent wetland. The project site is located at Latitude 70.307815, Longitude -149.086678; near the Kuparuk River, North Slope Borough, Alaska.
