Prospectus

On May 13, 2011, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers published in the Federal Register, a proposal to authorize Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) approved categorical exclusions for inclusion under Nationwide Permit 23 (NWP 23).

NWP 23 is used to authorize certain actions by other Federal agencies that are categorically excluded under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), in accordance with 40 CFR Parts 1500 to 1508, because the action is included within a category of actions that have no more than minimal individual and cumulative adverse environmental effects.

Pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 U.S. Code 1344), notice is hereby given that Mr. David B.  Nichols, Missouri Department of Transportation, has requested authorization for the placement of dredged and fill material in waters of the United States associated with the construction of a multi-lane highway facility for U.S. Route 67 from 1.5 miles south of Route M to 1 mile south of Route 160. The proposed project is located in wetlands, Cane Creek and several tributaries, in sections 25, 35, and 36, in T. 24 N., R. 5 E., and in sections 2, 3, and 10, in T. 23 N., R. 5 E., south of Poplar Bluff, Butler County, Missouri.

On February 16, 2011, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers published in the Federal Register its proposal to reissue 48 of its existing nationwide permits (NWPs) and issue two new NWPs.

Nationwide permits are general permits issued on a nationwide basis to streamline the authorization of activities that result in minimal individual and cumulative adverse effects on the aquatic environment. Many of the proposed NWPs require notification to the district engineer before commencing the work, to ensure that the activities authorized by those NWPs have minimal individual and cumulative adverse impacts on the aquatic environment.

Complete Prospectus

The basic purpose of the project is to sustain economic growth in the region by constructing a safe, cost effective interstate grade highway. The overall purpose of the project is to upgrade the U.S. Highway 71 corridor. In the early 1990’s, Congress and the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act identified the U.S. Highway 71 corridor extending from Kansas City, Missouri to Shreveport, Louisiana as a high-priority corridor. Similar to the AHTD, the Missouri Department of Transportation has made a commitment to upgrade the existing U.S. Highway 71 to a freeway facility from the Arkansas/Missouri state line to Kansas City. The project is not water dependent, but an extensive alternative analysis was completed as part of the environmental impact statement (EIS).

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) announced today it is soliciting public comments on the updated draft National Wetland Plant List (NWPL) developed as part of an ongoing interagency effort to identify and assign wetland plant ratings (indicator status) to species found in the U.S and its territories. The NWPL provides a list of wetland plants by species and their wetland ratings that is used extensively by federal, state agencies, the scientific and academic communities, and the private sector in wetland delineations, the planning and monitoring of wetland mitigation and restoration sites, and serves to provide general botanical information about wetland plants.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Little Rock District, announces the availability of the Final Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Plain Regional Supplement to the 1987 Wetland Delineation Manual. This supplement was developed by regional expert delineators with input from state and Federal agencies, academia and other local experts. It was peer reviewed by a panel of independent scientists and field tested by interagency teams of state and Federal agencies to determine the clarity and ease of use of the document and whether its use will result in any spatial changes in wetland jurisdiction for Clean Water Act Section 404 purposes.
