REISSUANCE OF A REGIONAL GENERAL PERMIT
FOR THE PLACEMENT OF DREDGED AND FILL MATERIAL
IN WATERS OF THE UNITED STATESASSOCIATED WITH SAND AND GRAVEL EXCAVATION ACTIVITIES

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Background.  On January 21, 2011, a public notice was issued in the State of Missouri announcing consideration of reissuance of this regional general permit (RGP).  The authority for permit issuance is found in Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899 (33 U.S. Code 403) and Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 U.S. Code 1344).  Corps Districts are authorized to develop RGPs in accordance with Title 33, Code of Federal Regulations Parts 325.2(e)(2) and 325.5(c)(1).

Determination to Extend.  After reviewing the previous actions authorized under this RGP, it is our assessment that the work authorized will not have significant adverse environmental impacts and that the public interest will be served by reissuing the regional general permit.

The policies of this RGP will be subject to reconsideration at any time, but will be reviewed at least every five years.  This RGP is therefore reissued until July 28, 2016, unless it is revoked or specifically extended in the interim.

Notification/Verification Requirement.  Anyone wanting to do work under the RGP must notify the Little Rock District Regulatory Division and receive written verification that the proposed work meets the limits of this RGP.  The notification/verification details are outlined in the Applicant Notification Requirements on Appendix I of the RGP.

Consideration of New/Additional Information.  If additional information obtained during the life of the permit indicates factors contrary to the public interest, then this RGP may be suspended, modified, or revoked.

Interested parties are requested to provide comments on this RGP at any time during the life of the permit.  Comments should be addressed to Chief, Regulatory Division, US Army Corps of Engineers, PO Box 867, Little Rock, Arkansas  72203-0867.

NOTE:  The mailing list for this Public Notice is arranged by state and county(s) where the project is located, and also includes any addressees who have asked to receive copies of all public notices.  Please discard notices that are not of interest to you.  If you have no need for any of these notices, please advise us so that your name can be removed from the mailing list.
