The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has filed notice of a proposed procedural change which requires review by the MS Department of Marine Resources to ensure compliance with the state’s approved Coastal Program under the Coastal Zone Management Act.
The applicant is proposing to implement a new Letter of Permission (LOP) procedure to more efficiently authorize dredging activities with minor impacts on the aquatic environment which would involve discharges of dredged material into permitted Mississippi Department of Marine Resources (MDMR) Beneficial Use Sites in the State of Mississippi and within the Territorial Sea off the coast of Mississippi, within the Regulatory boundaries of the Mobile District and Vicksburg District in Hancock, Harrison, and Jackson Counties. View the full application at the link(s) below.
