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-2022-00357, Public Notice of Proposed Cache Slough Mitigation Bank

    Expiration date: 12/23/2022

    Westervelt Ecological Services, LLC has applied for Department of the Army approval to establish the Cache Slough Mitigation Bank. The approximately 350-acre bank property site is located at the confluence of two drainage basins of the Central Valley: the Sacramento and San Joaquin basins (also referred to as the “Delta”). The southernmost reach of Cache Slough conveys floodwaters to the north Delta from the confluence of the Sacramento and Feather Rivers at Fremont Weir via the Yolo Bypass. These flows then reconverge with the Sacramento River and Steamboat Slough along the southeast boundary of the Bank (Figure 2). The bank’s adjacency to these multiple rivers, sloughs, watersheds, and ecoregions within the primary zone of the Legal Delta supports the establishment and crediting of wetland and riparian habitats which may serve as mitigation for impacts across a broad geographic area.

    Summary: California Department of Water Resource has applied for a permit discharge dredged or fill material and/or work in approximately 1.48 acres of waters of the United States to conduct annual installation of three temporary flow-control rock barriers at Middle River near Victoria Canal (MR), Old River near Tracy (ORT), and Grant Line Canal near Tracy Boulevard Bridge (GLC), collectively known as the Ag Barriers. The Ag Barriers are designed specifically for maintaining water levels and circulation within the South Delta to benefit SDWA local agricultural diverters. This is accomplished by trapping water that flows through the flap gates of each barrier on a flood tide. The barriers would be composed of clean rock and include culverts through the barriers. The culverts at the GLC barrier will be removed and replaced once during the permit term and left in place permanently. The barriers would be installed and removed annually using an excavator and a barge or truck-mounted crane. If needed for the barriers to operate properly, sediment deposited at the barriers during high flows would be removed from the barrier proximity under low flow conditions. Annual installation was approved in 2018 and continues through 2022. This application is to continue the annual installation for the period of 2023 through 2027. The approximately 1.48-acre project site is located at three locations in the Middle River near Victoria Canal, Latitude 37.8857°, Longitude -121.4822°; in Old River near the city of Tracy, Latitude 37.8103°, Longitude 121.5428°; and in Grant Line Canal near the Tracy Boulevard Bridge, Latitude 37.8199°, Longitude 121.4483°, San Joaquin County, California.
