REISSUANCE OF A REGIONAL GENERAL PERMIT (RGP) for the placement of dredged and fill material in all waters of the United States (WOUS) associated with the construction of steps, walkways, or footbridges, within the Little Rock District in the States of Arkansas and Missouri. On November 26, 2014, the Little Rock District Corps of Engineers issued a joint public notice with the States of Arkansas and Missouri announcing consideration of reissuance of this RGP for the construction of steps, walkways, or footbridges in all WOUS, excluding wetlands, within the Little Rock District in the States of Arkansas and Missouri. 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). After reviewing the previous actions authorized under this RGP and comments received on the public notice, it is our assessment that the work authorized will not have significant adverse environmental impacts and that the public interest will be served by reissuance of the RGP.
