Mr. Brown,
Thank you for your inquiry. The Corps is currently evaluating the permit application you mention.
We have received revised plans for access to the project site, placement of dredged material, and mitigation from the applicant which was coordinated with the federal and state resource agencies and landowners for comment.
Copies of all of the comment letters were provided to Aransas County with our request that they provide us information to address the issues raised. We received some additional information on April 29, 2011, which is currently
being evaluated.
We follow all the requirements necessary under the Rivers and Harbors Act, Clean Water Act, and the National Environmental Policy Act as efficiently as possible while maintaining a fair and reasonable decision-making process for the public. Our evaluation after receipt of comments often may take several weeks to compile once all the information that is necessary is submitted.
Sincerely,
ISIDRO REYNA
