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.

Sacramento District

SUBJECT: The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Sacramento District, (Corps), is issuing the Regional General Permit (RGP) for emergency actions (formerly called RGP 60) for an additional five years, beginning on January 1, 2015. RGP 8 authorizes fill and excavation activities in waters of the United States for necessary repair and protection measures associated with an emergency situation. An “emergency situation” is where there is a clear, sudden, unexpected and imminent threat to life or property demanding immediate action to prevent or mitigate loss of, or damage to, life, health, property or essential public services (i.e., a situation that could potentially result in an unacceptable hazard to life or a significant loss of property if corrective action requiring a permit is not undertaken immediately). This notice is to inform interested parties of the issuance. A copy of the existing permit, set to expire on December 31, 2014, is available at http://www.spk.usace.army.mil/Portals/12/documents/regulatory/gp/RGP-60-2009.pdf. The issued RGP #8, set to take effect on January 1, 2015 is attached.   The permit and the attachments are located at http://www.spk.usace.army.mil/Missions/Regulatory/Permitting/RegionalandProgrammaticGeneralPermits.aspx

LOCATION: Within Nevada, Utah, and parts of California, within the Sacramento District’s Regulatory Division boundaries.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: The Corps published a Public Notice on September 15, 2014, to inform interested parties of the proposed RGP for Emergency Actions, and to solicit comments from public, Federal, state, and local agencies and officials, Indian tribes, and other interested parties in order to consider, and evaluate the impacts of the RGP. All comments received were reviewed and considered by the Corps to determine whether to issue, modify, or condition the RGP. To make this decision, the comments were used to assess impacts on endangered species, historic properties, water quality, general environmental effects, and other public interest factors. The comments were used in the preparation of an Environmental Assessment pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act, and to determine the need for a public hearing, and overall public interest of the proposed RGP. All comment letters received are subject to release to the public through the Freedom of Information Act. If you have questions or need additional information please contact the Corps' Project Manager, Susan Clark, 916-557-7666, Susan.S.Clark@usace.army.mil.
