Pursuant to 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), notice is hereby given that Jeffrey Sand Company, 2200 Lincoln Avenue, North Little Rock, Arkansas 72119, has requested authorization for work, including the placement of dredged and fill material in waters of the United States, associated with the continuation of their commercial sand and gravel dredging operations. The operation is located on the Arkansas River between Navigation Mile (NM) 111.7, which is 3.6 miles upstream of David D. Terry Lock and Dam, and NM 117.2, which is 1.2 miles downstream from the Interstate 30 Bridge in Little Rock, Pulaski County, Arkansas. The material would be placed ashore for storage and further processing at the facility on the left descending bank of the Arkansas River at NM 117.3. A commercial dredging permit has been authorized in this reach of the Arkansas River since 1958, and authorizes dredging both within the navigation channel and within an area adjacent to the navigation channel. The permit would be extended for a period of five (5) years, through December 31, 2022. The basic purpose of the project is to dredge sand and gravel from the bed of the Arkansas River. The overall purpose of the project is to perform dredging of the McClellan-Kerr Arkansas River Navigation System within and outside the river’s navigation channel.
