Public Notices

A public notice is the primary method the Corps uses to advise interested parties of a proposed activity for which a Department of the Army permit is being sought. The Corps solicits comments and information to evaluate the probable impacts of the proposed activity on the public interest. Public notices are also used to inform the public about new or proposed regulations, policies, guidance, or permit procedures.

Public Notices issued by the Sacramento District are posted on this page and can be found on the Corps’ Regulatory Request System (RRS). Once a public notice is available on-line, an email notification is sent to individuals who signed up to receive our public notices.  Comments, which are due by the expiration date of the public notice, should be submitted through the RRS. Only comments submitted through the RRS, by email, or in hard copy format through a delivery service, such as the U.S. Postal Service, can be accepted. Hard copy comments must be submitted to the address listed in the public notice.

  • SPK-1901-08562, Public Notice of Permit Application, Lake Las Vegas, Clark County, NV

    Expiration date: 5/25/2023

    Lake Las Vegas Master Association (LLVMA) has applied for Department of Army (DA) authorization to discharge fill material in approximately 4.21 acres of open water below the Ordinary High Water Mark (OHWM) of Lake Las Vegas, elevation 1403’ (Lake Datum), and 6.385 acres of low-quality fringe wetlands. Permanent impacts are proposed to 5.176 acres of the fringe wetlands while 1.209 acres would be temporarily impacted by the proposed development. In total, 6.20 acres of open water would be created for a net gain of 1.99 acres of open water. The low quality, fringe wetlands are expected to re-colonize the littoral zone of the open water that is created for no net loss of these aquatic features. The wetlands impacts located in the areas where native vegetation is the planned shoreline condition, are expected to be temporary from the shoreline establishment. The planting of native vegetation is expected to be of higher functional quality than existing conditions. This development work was previously authorized and had been ongoing since the original permit was approved in March 1989; the permit timeframe had been continuously extended until it lapsed in August 2016. This permit application is seeking after the fact authorization for the work conducted between the permit expiration in 2016 and 2022 when the permit lapse was discovered, the work still needed to complete the shoreline development of the lake, and operations and maintenance activities that have been identified.
