On July 27, 2015, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Little Rock, Memphis, and Vicksburg Districts, issued a joint public notice with the State of Arkansas announcing consideration of reissuance of this regional general permit for the construction of exploration and production wells for oil and gas and their supporting fills and structures in waters of the United States. As lead Corps District in the state, Little Rock District is responsible for coordinating advertisement and review of comments on this statewide regional general permit. 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 regional general permits 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 regional general permit 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 regional general permit.
