Public Notices

Under the Corps' Regulatory Program, a public notice is the primary method for advising all interested parties of a proposed activity for which a permit is sought. Soliciting comments and information necessary to evaluate the probable impacts on the public interest. Public notices are also published to inform the public about new or proposed regulations, policies, guidance or permit procedures.

Public Notices published by the Sacramento District under the Regulatory Program are posted on this page. Once a public notice is available on-line, an email notification is sent to individuals on the appropriate mailing list.

Comments are due by the expiration date of the public notice.  Only comments submitted by email or in hard copy format through a delivery service, such as the U.S. Postal Service, can be accepted.   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.
