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.

Special Public Notices

  • POA-2010-132, Mulchatna River

    Expiration date: 1/12/2015

    Mr. Brad Meiklejohn/The Conservation Fund has prepared this instrument modification request to establish the SW-1 Kaleak mitigation site to protect 124.97 acres at the confluence of Old Man Creek and the Mulchatna River in Southwest Alaska. The project would protect palustrine and riverine wetlands and buffers. PROPOSED SITE: The sponsor proposes to preserve the 124.97 acre site. The goal of the mitigation site is to provide appropriate mitigation for impacts, within the authorized service area, by providing wetland preservation. The sponsor has proposed that The Conservation Fund’s Southwest Service Area be used as the service area for the proposed site. The Southwest Service area contains most of the USGS’ Southwest Alaska sub-region. It also contains a small portion of the Southcentral Alaska sub-region, mostly along the southern side of the Alaska Peninsula. These sub-regions correspond directly to the level 2 hydrologic unit codes 1903 and 1902 respectively. The political boundaries of the Lake and Peninsula Borough and the Kodiak Island Borough were considered in the creation of the Southwest Service Area . COMMENT PERIOD: Comments on this project should be made in writing, addressed to the Alaska District Corps of Engineers (ATTN: Sheila Newman), CEPOA-RD-SA, Post Office Box 6898 JBER, Alaska 99506-0898 or by email to sheila.m.newman@usace.army.mil with the project name and number in the subject line.
