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

These are public notices that involve the Regulatory program but which are generally not limited to one particular project. These would include public notices for the establishment or modification of Restricted Areas/Danger Zones, issuance/re-issuance of General Permits (Regional General Permits or Nationwide Permits), changes to guidance and policies, etc.

  • POA-1989-00324 Dutch Harbor PN

    Expiration date: 1/15/2025

    City of Unalaska, Scott Brown, stated the purpose is to provide additional berthing capacity within Dutch Harbor at the Unalaska Marine Center (UMC) Dock. UMC dock provides Unalaska and surrounding remote communities with essential cargo, passenger, and port services. Current depth at MLLW measures 40 feet alongside the berthing area. This depth limits the draft of the vessels which can safely moor at the UMC dock. Screeding small quantities from the berthing area will expand dock capabilities by providing space for deeper draft vessels to access the dock. PROPOSED WORK: Screeding is a dredge method that moves materials from shallower areas of a waterbody to deeper areas without removing any materials above water. The target screeding elevation for the UMC dock is -45.0’, with a maximum overscreed depth of -47.0’. Armor stone is located at the southwest end of the dock for slope protection. The armor stone may be removed and replaced as required to ensure adequate slope protection. New imported material will not exceed a total project quantity of 490 cubic yards (CY). Existing armor stone will be salvaged for reuse, if possible. The UMC dock shall maintain full capacity during screeding operations. All work would be performed in accordance with the enclosed project description (Attachment 1) and permit drawings (Attachment 2, Sheets 1-5, dated July 22, 2024). Please contact Nicholas Baggett at (907) 227-3124, or by email at nicholas.s.baggett@usace.army.mil if further information is desired concerning this notice.

  • POA-1965-00034 Resurrection Bay PN

    Expiration date: 1/10/2025

    Jason Davis stated the purpose is to replace the Alaska Railroad Corporation (ARRC) Passenger Dock so that it can safely accommodate cruise ships. PROPOSED WORK : The applicant proposes to remove the existing passenger terminal building (26,555 square feet), the existing dock fenders, one thousand eight hundred and twenty (1,820) 14-inch diameter steel piles, ten (10) 20-inch diameter steel piles, the entire existing concrete deck, portions of the concrete pile caps, and approximately 500 cubic yards of riprap obstructions. Any navigation obstructions within 120 feet of the proposed dock area would be removed, as well as approximately 183,000 cubic yards of silt, sand, and gravel sediments (dredge) in the area along the existing dock. The dredged sediment would be removed with a crane-barge-based 5 cubic yard bucket. Dredged materials would be disposed of either at an upland location within the existing cleared and filled area on the ARRC property, or at an approved offshore location. The proposed offshore disposal location is shown on Sheet 9 in the attached plans. All work would be performed in accordance with the enclosed plan (sheets 1-9), dated June 5, 2024, September 13, 2024, and September 26, 2024. Construction is proposed to take place from September 2025 to April 2026. Please contact Jennifer Mercer at (907) 753-753-2779, toll free from within Alaska at (800) 478-2712, or by email at jennifer.a.mercer@usace.army.mil if further information is desired concerning this public notice.

  • POA-2024-00594 Klawock Inlet PN

    Expiration date: 1/4/2025

    Robert Anderson, stated the purpose is to construct a two-finger boat dock to accommodate up to three (3) vessels. PROPOSED WORK The project would consist of installing a new boat dock to accommodate three (3) vessels. Construction would include a 60-foot aluminum gangway with a 15 cubic yard concrete abutment, 750 square feet of wood float, five (5) new 12-inch diameter steel piles, 2,000 cubic yards of dredging, 170 cubic yards of stacked rock wall, and 150 cubic yards of rip rap armor rock. The dredging would be limited to -8 mean lower low water (MLLW) and consist of beach gravel. A track mounted hydraulic excavator would load the dredged material into a 10-yard dump truck, where the material would be transported to the Shaan Seet 62 pit waste site on Port St. Nicholas Road approximately two (2) miles from the project location. An 80-lineal foot stacked rock wall and 40-linear foot rip rap armored slope would be constructed on the east side of the site to provide erosion protection. A crane/spud barge would be used for the pile driving. Piles would be started with an ICE 216B vibratory hammer with a maximum vibrations per minute (VPM) of 1,750 and 50 tons of driving force. If embedment is not achieved, an ICEI-19 impact hammer with 200 tons of driving force would be utilized to finish installation. All work would be performed in accordance with the enclosed plan (sheets 1-5), dated October 27, 2024. Please contact Olivia Ortiz at (907) 753-2586, toll free from within Alaska at (800) 478-2712, or by email at Olivia.K.Ortiz@usace.army.mil if further information is desired concerning this public notice.

    Expiration date: 12/26/2024

    Tlingit & Haida Regional Housing Authority stated the purpose is to “CBJ has a well-documented housing problem due to shortage of supply, limited housing choices, limited buildable land, and high burdens in material and housing costs. The result of the Pederson Hill Subdivision and its development will be an increase in the available stock of affordable, modern, energy efficient housing in Juneau.
