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.

Noorvik Native Community, P.O. Box 209, Noorvik, AK 99763 states the purpose is to construct a new roadway to provide safe access to a local cemetery near Noorvik. The proposed Middle Cemetery Road Project is being funded by the Bureau of Indian Affairs and will involve construction of a 0.98 mile long, two-way, single lane roadway to an existing cemetery that does not currently have road access. The roadway will be constructed to have a 10 foot wide travel lane with 6 foot wide shoulders. The road will be 60 feet wide at toe of slope. Also, the proposed roadway would end in a cul-de-sac at the cemetery and have four pullouts that are spaced approximately every 1,000 feet. The Middle Cemetery Road would be constructed as an overlay section on top of the existing ground without stripping vegetation or excavation to protect underlaying permafrost and reduce premature road degradation. These construction activities will result in the permanent loss of approximately 7.27 acres of wetlands. All work would be performed in accordance with the enclosed plan (sheets 1–8), dated November 23, 2022, and February 17, 2023. The project site is located approximately 1.8 miles southeast of Noorvik in Section 36, Township 17 North, Range 11 West, Latitude 66.822433° North, Longitude -160.983889° West, Northwest Arctic Borough, Alaska.
