Recent Regulatory Public Notices

2022-01863-TMS (Lake County, MN) Wisconsin Central Limited Project
PUBLIC NOTICE: The applicant proposes to construct a new railroad loop track in the western portion of their existing railyard facility in Two Harbors, Minnesota. The project site is approximately 32 acres in size. At the facility, rail cars filled with taconite are unloaded and stockpiled for loading onto barges in Lake Superior. The proposed railroad loop would provide a safer and more efficient taconite unloading process within the Two Harbors Yard. Currently, the facility must cut unloaded cars from loaded cars and move them to continue unloading. The loop would allow for continuous movement of railcars through the railyard, which would assist in reducing unloading times. It would also reduce the potential for bottlenecks during unloading by avoiding the need to stop the train to cut unloaded cars and move them within the facility to continue unloading.

Regulatory News

  • Corps of Engineers issues Northshore Mining Company permit

    ST. PAUL, Minn. – The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, St. Paul District issued a permit to Northshore Mining Company today for discharges of dredged and fill material into waters of the United States resulting from its Tailings Basin Progression project.

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 essentially all construction 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.
