PROPOSED DISCHARGE OF DREDGED OR FILL MATERIAL TO THE SNAKE RIVER

The Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality (WDEQ) has received a request from Biota Research and Consulting, Inc. on behalf of Grand Teton National Park for State certification of U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Nationwide Permits #27 and #42, for discharge of dredged or fill material to the Snake River near Moose, Wyoming. The purpose of the project is to construct a boat ramp and landings, reconstruct two failing river barbs, and restore a segment of river bank along the Snake River near the Grand Teton National Park visitor center. To construct these features, approximately 1,994 cubic yards (CY) of alluvium will be excavated followed by the permanent placement of 2,903 CY of boulder, rip-rap, and native alluvium. No impacts to wetlands are anticipated though 0.38 acre of river channel and bank will be permanently impacted.

All surface waters within Grand Teton National Park are designated Class 1 where point source discharges are prohibited except for storm water and construction related discharges. This certification will require meeting the provisions in Chapter 1, Section 7(b) of the WDEQ Water Quality Rules and Regulations, which allows these discharges under certain circumstances.

Requests for information about the proposed water quality certification should be directed to Eric Hargett by email ([email protected]) or phone (307-777-6701). Written comments must be addressed to Eric Hargett, Wyoming DEQ/WQD, 200 W. 17th Street ? 4TH floor, Cheyenne, WY, 82002, and be postmarked on or before 5:00 p.m. on April 27, 2023 to be considered. Electronic comments may only be submitted through and accepted by the Wyoming DEQ comment portal provided at [link removed] [ [link removed] ]. Phone comments will not be accepted.
