Recent Regulatory Public Notices

2022-02073-JMB (Marathon County, WI) Channel Dredging – Lake Wausau (Wisconsin River)
LETTER OF PERMISSION: The applicant proposes to hydraulically dredge approximately 3,238 cubic yards of sediment from Lake Wausau (Wisconsin River) for improved watercraft access. According to the applicant, the proposed dredging would be needed as the area has silted-in over time, which has restricted water access to the property owned by the applicant. The project area would be dredged 2’ deeper to approximately 4’ depth at normal water levels. All dredge material would be pumped via dredge hose to an adjacent upland parcel for dewatering via geotextile bags. All dredge material would then be transported to an offsite upland location for permanent disposal.

About Our Regulatory & Permits Office

The purpose of Corps of Engineers' regulatory program is to protect the nation's aquatic resources, while allowing reasonable development through fair, flexible and balanced permit decisions. The Corps evaluates permit applications for all regulated activities that occur in the nation's waters, including wetlands.

The Corps' regulatory program includes Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899 and Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. The St. Paul District's regulatory jurisdiction covers the states of Minnesota and Wisconsin.

Under Section 10, a Corps permit is required to do any work in, over or under a 'Navigable Water of the U.S.' Waterbodies have been designated as 'Navigable Waters of the U.S.' based on their past, present or potential use for transportation for interstate commerce.

Under Section 404, a Corps permit is required for the discharge of dredged or fill material into waters of the U.S. Many waterbodies and wetlands in the nation are waters of the U.S. and are subject to the Corps' Section 404 regulatory authority.
