Army Corps Upper Pool 4 Comments

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, St. Paul District, is seeking public comments on a draft Environment Assessment, or EA, for a proposed routine dredge cut below Goose Bay in Upper Pool 4 in Pierce County and Goodhue County.

The dredge cut involves establishing a new location for river dredging.

This proactive approach aims to maintain a 9-foot channel depth and minimize the need for emergency dredging.

The frequency of dredging will depend on river conditions. The first proposed dredging of this cut is scheduled soon.

A final determination on the draft EA will be made following the public review period. A copy of the EA can be viewed and downloaded from the St. Paul District website at: https://www.mvp.usace.army.mil/Home/PublicNotices.aspx.

The Corps of Engineers is conducting a review of the environmental effects in accordance with the National Environment Policy Act.

Comments should be submitted no later than Saturday, August 9th.

Please address all correspondence on this project to the St. Paul District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Attention: Regional Planning and Environment Division North, 332 Minnesota Street, Suite E1500, St. Paul, Minnesota, 55101.
