PROPOSED GENERAL PERMIT 28 REISSUANCE FOR DESCRIPTION MAINTENANCE DREDGING IN INDIVIDUAL OIL AND/OR GAS WELL CANALS AND SLIPS, WELL STRUCTURES AND PRODUCTION FACILITIES IN OPEN WATERS OR MANMADE CANALS, AND CONSTRUCTION AND MAINTENANACE OF WATERWAY CLOSURES OR FIXED CREST WEIRS IN OR AFFECTING NAVIGABLE WATERS OF THE UNITED STATES IN THAT PART OF THE NEW ORLEANS DISTRICT OUTSIDE OF THE LOUISIANA COASTAL ZONE

General Permits have proven to be an effective method to authorize certain projects within the New Orleans District in a timely manner without the need for a public notice and its related costs. Evaluating applications under the general permit procedures for projects that qualify because of their minor impacts allows for better use of personnel resources, yet still allows adequate impact review. A copy of the general permit is attached.

Interested parties are requested to review the enclosed general permit authorizing the maintenance dredging in individual oil and/or gas well canals and slips, well structures and production facilities in open waters or manmade canals, and construction and maintenance of waterway closures or fixed crest weirs in or affecting navigable waters of the United States in that part of the New Orleans District outside of the Louisiana Coastal Zone.
