PORTLAND, Ore. — The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is reviewing an application requesting a Department of the Army permit for certain work in waters of the United States. The public notice regarding the permit application listed here was issued during the week of April 9, 2007.
Public Notice NWP-2006-278. The project is located in Macklyn Creek and adjacent wetlands in Brookings, Ore. The applicant proposes realigning 360 linear feet of Macklyn Creek in order to construct a housing subdivision. The proposed action would impact 0.09 acre of waters of the United States by discharging up to 420 cubic yards of material below the ordinary high water mark. Comments must be received by May 14, 2007. A copy of the public notice may be found at http://www.nwp.usace.army.mil/op/g/public.asp.
The Corps of Engineers is soliciting comments from the public, federal, state and local agencies, Indian Tribes and other interested parties on these permit requests.
The Corps of Engineers will issue or deny any permit under authority of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, for discharge of dredged or fill material into U.S. waters, and/or under Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899 for work in or affecting navigable waters of the United States.
