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.

Welcome to the Vicksburg District Regulatory Branch

For 237 years, the US Army Corps of Engineers has been involved with the regulation of various activities in the nation's waterways, including navigable waters and wetlands. As one of the oldest programs in the Federal government, we are committed to providing fair permit decisions with the highest quality of customer service while protecting our nation's aquatic resources and ecosystems.

Pursuant to Sections 9 & 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899 and Section 404 of the Clean Water Act of 1972, the Vicksburg Regulatory Branch sees hundreds of permit applications annually for projects varying in size; from piers, wharfs, and weirs to constructed levees, subdivisions, and pipelines. A permit is required for any work over, under, or below the ordinary high water mark of a navigable waterway and for the discharge of dredged and/or fill material into wetlands and/or other waters of the United States.
