Public Notices
"The decision whether to issue a permit is based on an evaluation of the probable impacts, including cumulative impacts, of the proposed activity and its intended use on the public interest" (33 CFR 320.4(a)). In order to better evaluate the detriments and benefits of a project to the public, input is solicited from the public at large. The major tools used to interact with the public are the public notice, public hearing and input from other interested parties. Public notices are issued within 15 days of receipt of all requested information to make an application complete. Comments in response to public notice accepted for 15 to 30 days, unless U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service or the Environmental Protection Agency requests and are granted an extension. Comment period is not to exceed 60 days. Public hearings usually require a separate notice; the hearing may not occur earlier than 30 days from the date of that notice.

Nationwide Permits

Nationwide permits are valid general permits throughout the nation, as long as conditions applicable to the permits are met. If conditions (below) cannot be met, then an individual or regional-general permit will be required. Although some nationwide permits may require no paperwork, it is prudent to consult with the Vicksburg District for any possible limitations or restrictions. There are nationwide permits that require preconstruction notification to the Corps. These notifications must be in writing and require the Corps' authorization before proceeding with the activity. Nationwide permits requiring pre-construction notification to the Corps in tidal waters and adjacent waters in Hancock, Harrison, and Jackson Counties in Mississippi (see Mississippi Regional Condition A.1.b.) shall be completed using the Joint Application Form and submitted directly to the Mississippi Department of Marine Resources. Water quality, impacts to wetlands and other waters, Threatened and Endangered Species, and Cultural Resources must be taken into consideration prior to applying for a Nationwide permit.
