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.

The ROD follows the issuance of a Final Environmental Impact Statement (Final EIS) in May 2018 for the Mather Specific Plan project. The EIS was prepared by the Corps to analyze the direct, indirect, and cumulative effects associated with a mixed-use development.

Additionally, the ROD documents the Corps’ determination that the Proposed Phase I/II Zinfandel Drive Improvements and Sewerline Extension project qualifies for authorization under Nationwide Permit Numbers 12 and 14.
