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.

  • Public Notice of Regulatory Program Priority for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Sacramento District

    Effective the date of this notice, the Sacramento District is prioritizing requests for permits over other actions it executes under the Regulatory Program. Prioritizing requests for permits enables the Sacramento District to direct available resources toward the fundamental mission of regulating activities in the nation’s waters and providing the public with efficient and timely service. The Sacramento District may take several months to act on requests for aquatic resources delineation verifications and jurisdictional determinations that do not accompany a permit request (i.e., “standalone”). Requests for standalone approved jurisdictional determinations could take longer, in some cases more than a year, due to additional documentation and coordination with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. There is no requirement a project proponent receive a standalone aquatic resources delineation verification or jurisdictional determination from the Sacramento District before submitting a permit request.
