The original authorization was issued on May 9, 2012, was modified on February 6, 2015, and expired in April of 2017. Due to the expiration of the previous permit, the applicant must request a new individual permit (IP) and this review will incorporate all aspects of the project within the Corps designated scope of review. This includes the cumulative impacts from Phase I and a review of both Phases II and III. The first phase resulted in 2.65 acres of impacts and the applicant purchased 3.98 acres of in-lieu fee credits from The Nature Conservancy. The current phase, Phase II, of the proposed project includes the construction of the landfill access road and would result in 6.59 acres of impact to emergent wetlands. Phase III would include 1.97 acres of impacts to emergent wetlands and would be for the construction of the landfill. In total, all three phases would impact 11.21 acres of emergent wetlands. The applicant previously proposed the purchase of 9.88 wetland credits for Phase II and 2.96 wetland credits for Phase III.
