    The New Bourbon Regional Port Authority, requests Department of the Army permit authorization to conduct maintenance dredging operations within the pre-existing New Bourbon Port. Previous permitting authorized the construction of the harbor, as well as subsequent permitting that authorized the placement of materials into the Mississippi River in an open water disposal site just outside the harbor’s mouth. The project purpose is to maintain the Port’s harbor in such a condition that barges/tows have ingress and egress to the site. The proposed dredging will only remove material deposited by the river and will not alter the previously authorized contours of the Port. The dredge material will be placed outside of the mouth of the marina in deeper portions of the river outside of the designated navigation channel of the Mississippi River, and within the State of Missouri. Specifically, the dredge disposal location is proposed at Latitude 37.96066389, and Longitude - 89.98595000 West. The project is located on the right descending bank of Mississippi River mile 120.5, Ste. Genevieve County, Missouri, on the Kaskaskia USGS quadrangle map, US Survey 67, Township 38 North, Range 09 East.

    The applicant, Harvest Hopewell LLC, seeks authorization to conduct grading and filling operations in waters of the United States to facilitate the construction of a residential development named Harvest, including associated roadways and infrastructure. The Northern half of the site is bisected by a tributary of Dardenne Creek. The Southern half of the site drains directly to Dardenne Creek. There are four jurisdictional waters which will be impacted by this development. The proposed development is located on approximately 270 acres in Section 8, Township 46 North, Range 2 East, near the city of Wentzville, St. Charles County, Missouri. Specifically, located off Hopewell Road, Latitude: N 38.749943, Longitude: W -90 829570. An NRHP-eligible farmstead is located within the project boundary and the applicant indicated it cannot be avoided. Because avoidance cannot be achieved, the District has found “Historic Properties Adversely Affected” for the Harvest Residential Development project. To resolve the adverse effects to the Welker farmstead, a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) will be developed. Mitigation will minimally include NRHP level recordation of the Welker farmstead. In advance of the MOA development, the Welker farmstead will be photo documented, which will be part of the NRHP level recordation. The public comment opens June 27th, 2022 and closes July 15th, 2022.
