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.

Public Notices

POA-2015-350, Sagavanirktok River

Published June 18, 2015
Expiration date: 7/17/2015

The applicant, Mr. Brett Nelson and the Alaska Department of Transportation & Public Facilities' stated purpose is to raise the grade of the Dalton Highway by ten feet between MP 379-401 and develop three material sites.

PROPOSED WORK:  The applicant is seeking after the fact authorization for the development of three material sites, all to the east of the Dalton Highway, (MS 65-9-099-2 at MP 390, MS 65-9-040-2 at MP 374.5 and MS 65-9-024-2 at MP 381), authorized under U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) emergency permitting procedures, (permit number POA-2015-342), on May 27, 2015, as well as the authorization to discharge 845,000 cubic yards (cy) of gravel fill material into 353.2 acres of waters of the United States (U.S.), including wetlands, to raise the grade of the Dalton Highway by ten feet between MP 379-401 and develop three material sites.  The applicant also requests authorization for temporary impacts to 160 acres of wetlands.  The applicant states that “the project is needed because snow drifting on the roadway is common, the existing gravel surface is high maintenance and creates unwanted dust.  Many existing drainage culverts are in need of repair or replacement.  Extensive aufeis formation and flood damage in the spring of 2015 emphasized the need for raising the grade on the Dalton Highway.” 

Comments on the described work, with the reference number, should reach this office no later than the expiration date of this Public Notice to become part of the record and be considered in the decision.  Please contact Ellen Lyons at (907) 474-2166, or by email at Ellen.H.Lyons@usace.army.mil, if further information is desired concerning this notice.
