Proposed Reissuance of General Permit 34M (GP-34M)

In accordance with Title 33 CFR 325.2 and 325.7(e), as published in the November 13, 1986, Federal Register, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, St. Louis District proposes to reissue a Regional General Permit (RGP), GP-34M, which would authorize sand and gravel excavation activities. The RGP would be reissued for another 5-year period. The GP-34M authorizes the discharge of dredged and/or fill material related to mechanical sand and gravel excavation as described in Appendix I. Discharges authorized are limited to those which occur during the actual excavation process and those associated with preparation and restoration of the site. These discharge activities include, but are not limited to temporary stockpiling, access ramps, and construction of berms for siltation control.
