Project Location: The regional permit will authorize work associated with the discharge of dredged and/or fill material into all waters of the United States, including wetlands (WOTUS), for commercial and institutional developments under jurisdiction of the Rock Island District (District) in the State of Illinois.
Project Description:
A. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) proposes the new Regional General Permit (RGP) for the activities required for the construction, expansion, modification, or improvement of commercial and institutional developments, including associated infrastructure and attendant features, which result in a total loss of up to 2.0 acre of WOTUS including the loss of up to 1,000 linear feet of stream bed. The loss of stream bed plus any other losses of jurisdictional WOTUS caused by the activity cannot exceed 2.0 acre, which includes no more than 1,000 linear feet of stream bed loss. Activities may include, but are not limited to, building foundations and pads, roads, parking lots, garages, yards, utility lines, stormwater management facilities, septic systems, and wastewater treatment facilities. Examples of commercial developments include (but are not limited to) retail stores, industrial facilities, restaurants, hotels, stadiums, arenas, business parks, and shopping center. Examples of institutional developments include (but are not limited to) schools, fire stations, government office buildings, judicial buildings, public works building, libraries, hospitals, and places of worship.
B. The project must be a single and complete project. The maximum impact limitations will be applied on a cumulative basis for activities that are part of a larger common plan of development or sale.
