Subject: Public Notice of Reissuance of Regional General Permit 7 for Flood Control Projects in Clark County
RGP 7 Effective Date: August 7, 2013 – August 7, 2018
Summary of Proposed Action: The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Sacramento District, hereby issues Regional General Permit (RGP) No. 7 for authorization of fill activities needed to construct and maintain flood control facilities funded by, or built in accordance with, the Clark County Regional Flood Control District (CCRFCD) program. The purpose of this public notice is to inform interested parties of the availability of the RGP. A copy of the permit and attachments can be found at the Sacramento District's Regional And Programmatic General Permit Page and page: http://www.spk.usace.army.mil/Missions/Regulatory/Permitting/RegionalandProgrammaticGeneralPermits.aspx
Purpose & Need: The purpose of this RGP is to authorize flood control projects that cause only minimal individual and cumulative environmental impacts.
Authority: Section 404 of the Clean Water Act for the discharge of dredged or fill material in all waters of the United States.
APPLICANT: Clark County Regional Flood Control District, 600 South Grand Central Parkway, Las Vegas, NV 89106, Nevada 84790
LOCATION: This Regional General Permit applies to all activities associated with the Clark County (Nevada) Regional Flood Control District (CCRFCD) Master Plan.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The RGP 7 is a modification of the RGP 7 issued on September 1, 2007, (Corps Public Notice No. 200700300), and is intended to authorize fill activities needed to construct and maintain flood control facilities funded by, or built in accordance with, the Clark County Regional Flood Control District (CCRFCD) program under one permit. The RGP 7 is also intended to streamline the permitting process for routine maintenance activities, provide mitigation certainty for new construction projects, and authorize minor impact activities which do not qualify for issuance under a Nationwide Permit. Activities that would qualify for processing through the RGP 7 are fill activities resulting in unavoidable relatively minor impacts and, therefore, do not warrant more detailed processing.
Length of Authorization: The RGP will expire five years from the date of issuance (August 7, 2018).
Other Governmental Authorizations: Projects authorized under this RGP 7 will require individual water quality certifications under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act.
Additional Information: If you have questions or request a paper copy of the RGP07, please contact the St. George Regulatory Office Senior Project Manager Patricia L. McQueary, email patricia.l.mcqueary@usace.army.mil, or telephone 435-986-3979.
