This Public Notice announces the Decision of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Sacramento District (Corps) to accept funds contributed by the California Department of Water Resources for the Bay Delta Conservation Plan, subject to a series of limitations below:

Section 214 of the Water Resources Development Act of 2000 (WRDA 2000, Public Law No. 106-541 111-120) as amended, provides: (a) The Secretary of the Army, after public notice, may accept and expend funds contributed by non-Federal public entities to expedite the evaluation of permits under the jurisdiction of the Department of the Army. (b) In carrying out this section, the Secretary shall ensure that the use of funds accepted under subsection (a) will not impact impartial decision making with respect to permits, either substantively or procedurally. (c) The authority provided under this section shall be in effect from October 1, 2000 to December 31, 2016.

CESPK-RD SUBJECT: The purpose of this Public Notice is to inform the general public that the District Commander of the Sacrament District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (“Corps”) has decided to accept and expend funds contributed by California Department of Water Resources under Section 214 of the Water Resources Development Act of 2000 for priority evaluation of their Bay Delta Conservation Plan Department of the Army permit applications and processes, subject to the limitations specified below.

A series of procedural safeguards has been adopted to ensure that use of the funds will not impact impartial decision-making. These include: a. All final permit decisions where these funds are used must be reviewed at least by one level above the decision maker, unless the decision maker is the District Commander. For example, if the decision maker is the California North Branch Chief, then the reviewer would be the Regulatory Division Chief. b. All final permit decisions where these funds are used will be made available on the Sacramento District website. c. The Corps will not eliminate any procedures or decisions that would otherwise be required for that type of project and permit application under consideration. d. The Corps will comply with all applicable laws and regulations. e. Funds will only be expended to provide priority review of the participating non-federal entity’s permit applications and processes.
