PORTLAND, Ore. -- The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is reviewing two permit applications requesting a Department of the Army permit for certain work in waters of the United States.
Public Notice 199601152/2, requested by Aquatic Lawn Growers, Inc. The project is located within the Winema National Forest, in Klamath County, near Chiloquin, Ore. The site is in wetlands adjacent to a tributary to the Sprague River. This project was previously authorized by the Corps on Nov. 22, 2000, however, the applicant has not initiated work or requested an extension, and the permit has expired. The proposed project includes construction of a 13-acre water ski basin and would include excavation of 28,000 cubic yards of material from both the wetlands and the uplands on the project site, and filling a bermed basin with water. The footprint of the basin and surrounding berm would cover approximately 10.32 acres of wetlands. Comments must be received by March 3, 2006.
