RRS Public Notice module

6 January 2025
Public Notices Module Now Available—Enhances RRS Functionality!

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) is excited to announce the launch of the Public Notice module on the Regulatory Request System (RRS). Released in January 2025, this new feature allows users nationwide to search, review, and comment on projects being reviewed by the Regulatory Program, significantly enhancing transparency, accessibility, and efficiency. The Public Notice module provides access to Regulatory projects requiring a standard permit or when public notices are issued to develop Mitigation Banks, In-lieu Fee Programs or to issue/reissue a Regional or Programmatic Permit or Section 404 Letter of Permission.  It organizes notices by state and district, which can be viewed in a table format or on an interactive map. Users can easily search for notices by project name or address and submit comments directly through the platform, streamlining public engagement and reinforcing USACE's commitment to improving transparency and the permitting process.

The RRS is a web-based platform, currently in its beta version, designed to simplify the permitting process and enhance user experience. In addition to the new Public Notice Module, RRS enables users to submit permit applications, request jurisdictional determinations, and schedule pre-application meetings, all through a user-friendly interface.

We encourage you to explore the Regulatory Request System and its new features by visiting rrs.usace.army.mil. For additional information or to provide feedback, please contact us at rrs@usace.army.mil

  • Stonewall Springs Wetland Mitigation Bank

    Expiration date: 10/2/2026

    The sponsor, Stonewall Springs Quarry, LLC, proposes to develop a commercial wetland mitigation bank to assist in mitigating compensatory requirements for unavoidable impacts to Waters of the United States, including wetlands, in the region. The bank property is located on an active sand and gravel aggregate quarry. The bank is designed to reclaim the quarried areas into a high-functioning wetland mosaic. Wetland creation areas are situated where sand and gravel extraction is occurring or has already occurred. This quarrying process excavates the land to a depth that allows subsequent backfilling to within 2 to 3 feet of the local static groundwater table (average elevation of approximately 4,521 feet), establishing reliable hydrological connections for wetland vegetation root systems. Based on the prospectus, the mitigation bank will be implemented in a phased approach. The first two phases propose the establishment of 29.82 acres of new wetlands

    The applicant proposes a Priority I project to restore aquatic, riparian, and wetland habitats across 21 sites within 58.5 acres of the Middle Rio Grande.

Proposed activities include bankline modification, constructing flow-through channels, installing anchored large woody debris, and excavating up to 54,050 cubic yards of sediment. To facilitate these grading activities and allow native species to reestablish, the project will also involve removing nonnative, invasive vegetation. Construction is anticipated to occur from late fall 2026 through winter 2026–2027.
