  • CWA-PR

    Expiration date: 7/21/2014

    On 21 April 2014, the USEPA and the Corps of Engineers (Corps) are publishing for public comment a proposed rule defining the scope of waters protected under the Clean Water Act (CWA), in light of the U.S. Supreme Court cases in U.S. v. Riverside Bayview, Solid Waste Agency of Northern Cook County v. U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (SWANCC), and Rapanos v. United States (Rapanos). The proposed rule was developed to enhance protection for the nation’s public health and aquatic resources, and increase CWA program predictability and consistency by increasing clarity as to the scope of “waters of the United States” protected under the Act. Developing a final rule to provide the intended level of certainty and predictability, and minimizing the number of case-specific determinations, will require significant public involvement and engagement. Such involvement and engagement will allow the agencies to make categorical determinations of jurisdiction, in a manner that is consistent with the scientific body of information before the agencies – particularly on the category of waters known as “other waters.”

  • SWL 2014-00019

    Expiration date: 5/9/2014

    Pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 U.S. Code 1344), notice is hereby given that Mr. Craig Woodcock, Ben E. Keith Company, 601 E. 7th Street, Fort Worth, Texas 76102, has requested authorization for the placement of dredged and fill material in wetlands and waters of the United States associated with the construction of a food service products warehouse distribution facility on a site that is approximately 70 acres and includes truck and rail access. The proposed project would impact (fill) approximately 4.3 acres of scrub-shrub wetlands adjacent to Stark Bend and 967 linear feet of a jurisdictional ephemeral channel that connects an intermittent stream on the east side of the property to wetlands on the west side of the property. Water flow exits Stark Bend and enters the project area wetlands and the jurisdictional ephemeral channel which then flows eastward into a north-south running intermittent stream located on the east side of the property. This intermittent stream flows south through unnamed intermittent channels where it enters Faulkner Lake, which is an oxbow lake. Water exits Faulkner Lake through the main Faulkner Lake channel where it flows southward into Horseshoe Lake, Scott Bayou, and Old River Lake, all remnant oxbow lakes of the Arkansas River. Exiting Old River Lake, water then flows through the main drainage channel into the Arkansas River. The proposed project is located immediately south of Stark Bend, in the SE 1/4 of section 27, T. 2 N., R. 11 W., North Little Rock, Pulaski County, Arkansas.
