P-2980

Expiration date: 1/11/2017

J.D. Street & Company, Inc. is proposing to modify their existing War Department Permit to increase the size of their existing captive barge fleeting area, from 40’ (width) x 195’ (length) to 54’ x 225’. The existing barge is reaching the end of its service life and will need to be replaced. A barge measuring 54’ x 225’ is a common, commercially available, barge size. A larger captive barge will also prevent the need for a spacer barge during low water conditions. The captive barge was originally authorized as a mooring and terminal facility by a War Department Permit on January 9, 1950. The facility will be reauthorized using permit number P-2980 and file number MVS 2016-976. Written comments must be submitted by replying by electronic mail or written mail to the address in the notice. The Public Notice comment period opens today and closes on January 11, 2017.

Bunge North America, Inc., seeks authorization, under Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act, to continue maintenance dredging operations at its’ Grand Tower facility in Jackson County, Illinois. This proposal is for the re-authorization of the same permit issued to the applicant in July of 2006 (P-2506 Public Notice Issued March 21, 2006). Yearly low water flows and increased sedimentation/siltation, fleeting operations have caused dredging operations to become increasingly more difficult. The applicant has elected to utilize the services of Luhr Bros, Inc., who would conduct the dredging of approximately 3,500 cubic yards of sandy material with a back hoe perched atop a spud barge. The backhoe will fill awaiting barges for transfer to a disposal site. The disposal site is an existing quarry owned by Luhr Bros., Inc., located in their Tower Rock Stone Company quarry, Missouri, at approximate Mississippi River mile 46. Once at the site, the material will be unloaded from the vessels with a backhoe, and transported by truck to the quarry. The proposed project does not involve a Section 404 Clean Water Act permit, and therefore does not trigger the need for a Section 401 water quality certification from the State of Missouri or Illinois. The project is located on the left descending bank of Mississippi River mile 82.5, Jackson County, Illinois. Specifically, the project is located on the Altenburg USGS quadrangle map, latitude 37:39:52.1481, longitude -89:30:49.4181. The Public Notice comment period opens on December 01, 2016, and closes on December 22, 2016.
