The latest published version of the National Register of Historic Places and its monthly supplements have been reviewed and there are no places either listed or recommended as eligible which would be affected. Presently unknown cultural resources may be located in the permit area.This activity would not affect any threatened or endangered species or their critical habitat. The District Engineer has made this determination based on information provided by the applicant and on the Corps'preliminary evaluation. A permit issued by the Department of the Army does not give any property rights either in real estate or material or any exclusive privileges and does not authorize any injury of private property or invasion of private rights, or any infringement of Federal, State or local laws or regulations, nor does it obviate the necessity of obtaining State or local assent to the work authorized. Interested parties are invited to submit any comments they may have in writing,on or before April 13,1984. The decision whether to issue a permit will be based on an evaluation of the impact on the public interest, under authority of Section 10,River and Harbor Act of 1899.That decision will reflect the national concern for both protection and utilization of important resources.The benefit which reasonably may be expected to accrue from the proposal must be balanced against its reasonably foreseeable detriments. All factors which may be relevant to the proposal will be considered; among those are conservation, economics, aesthetics, general environmental concerns, historic values, fish and wildlife values, flood damage prevention, land use, navigation, recreation, water supply, water quality, energy needs, safety, food production and, in general, the needs and welfare of the people. No permit will be granted unless its issuance is found to be in the public interest. Based on our preliminary evaluation, there will be no significant environmental impacts. 1 Encl ARTHUR E.
