Permit Application Public Notices

Photo by Rebecca Manbeck

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.

    Expiration date: 4/21/2025

    Tom Adams, Matanuska Susitna Borough; stated the purpose is to construct a new sloped haulout ramp for marine barges and other watercraft at Port Mackenzie. The ramp would allow barges to be grounded on a rising tide and then pulled up onto uplands for storage and inspection. The proposed haulout is intended to improve existing infrastructure to increase frequency and diversity of use at the Port, thereby reducing land transportation from other ports; and to serve as a back-up facility in the event of disruption to the Port of Alaska or road or rail supply lines. PROPOSED WORK: The applicant proposes to discharge 10,300 cubic yards of rip rap and 49,300 cubic yards of sand and gravel fill into 2.8 acres of Knik Arm below the high tide line (HTL). Prior to ramp installation, approximately 3,050 cubic yards of riprap and 38,500 cubic yards of soft marine deposits would be excavated from the same 2.8-acre footprint. Excavated riprap would be temporarily stockpiled on the Port uplands and reused to armor the toe of the new ramp, resulting in a net volume of 43,000 cubic yards of fill. Excavated sediments would be disposed of at a nearby upland disposal facility. .
